A staking service holding $34m across two chains from a Korea-linked operator, with no audit report retrievable publicly.
Our assessment
NEOPIN holds $34m across two chains. It is associated with the Korean market, where crypto services operate under a stricter compliance regime than most of DeFi, and no audit report was retrievable at a public address at this check.
Operating in a regulated market changes the operator
Korean crypto regulation imposes registration, reporting and consumer-protection obligations that most DeFi protocols never face. An operator subject to them has a supervisory relationship and a legal identity, which is meaningful evidence about who you are dealing with — and it is separate from whether the contracts are sound.
Regulatory standing is not contract review
A licensed operator can still deploy code with a bug. Compliance addresses conduct, custody rules and disclosure; it does not examine a smart contract. Our counterparty pillar wants both, and here only one is present.
The evidence gap
No audit report at a public address, with thin transparency results at conventional addresses. That is what holds the score at 5.5 despite the operator's identifiable standing.
Who it suits
NEOPIN fits users in its market who value a regulated operator and accept unaudited contracts. Users prioritising published contract review should use the audited protocols in this comparison.
Frequently asked
Does this score mean NEOPIN Staking 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.
