How this score was built

Each indicator scores 2, 1 or 0. A pillar is the points earned over the points available; the overall score is the weighted sum. Every source below is public — check any of them yourself.

The restaking layer of the Mantle ecosystem, holding $33m with an audit report published and linked.

Our assessment

Mantle Restaking holds $33m with an audit report linked, serving as the restaking layer within an ecosystem backed by one of the larger treasuries in crypto.

Layered derivatives compound dependencies

A restaked token here typically represents ETH that was staked, wrapped into a liquid staking token, then restaked and wrapped again. Each wrapper is a contract that can fail, and each adds a step to the exit path. The yield accumulates across the layers and so does the risk — which is the part the yield display never shows.

Ecosystem backing, and its limits

A large treasury behind the ecosystem provides development resources and a reputational incentive to make users whole after a failure. There is no contractual claim on it. Several protocols in this comparison rest partly on this kind of implicit backing; it is worth naming as implicit.

Evidence position

An audit report linked at a public address is more than most restaking protocols in this table provide, and it is the main reason this sits in the eights. Depth at $33m is modest, so redemption rather than sale is the realistic exit.

Who it suits

Mantle Restaking fits users committed to that ecosystem who want restaking yield inside it. Users wanting the broadest liquidity and strongest documentation should use Kelp.

Reference

Frequently asked

Does this score mean Mantle Restaking is safe?

No. It measures what an outsider can verify: linked audits, published methodology and independently recorded market data. Contract risk is not tested by us.

Where do the TVL and audit figures come from?

A public analytics dataset queried at the verification date, plus the audit reports it links. Both are re-runnable by anyone.

Why do some protocols score zero on audits?

Because no audit report is linked in the public record. The indicator records what a user can reach, not a claim that no audit exists.
