An ecosystem-specific staking product holding $15m, with no audit report retrievable at a public address at this check.
Our assessment
Qearn holds $15m in an ecosystem-specific staking product. No audit report was retrievable at a public address at this check, and the transparency indicators returned little.
Single-ecosystem staking concentrates everything
Staking a network's own token through that network's own product means the asset, the yield and the counterparty all depend on one ecosystem. Diversification is nominal. If the ecosystem declines, the token price, the staking yield and the protocol's ability to operate all fall together.
Reward mechanics deserve reading
Lock periods, unbonding delays, whether rewards compound automatically, and whether the yield is paid from network issuance or from a fixed incentive pool all determine what you actually receive. Incentive pools deplete; issuance persists. The distinction is rarely made on a deposit screen.
The evidence gap
No audit report at a public address, with thin documentation results. Contract risk carries 35% of the weight in this category, and there is little to score against it.
Who it suits
Qearn suits holders already committed to its ecosystem who accept unaudited contracts. Holders wanting audited staking should look to the documented protocols in this table.
Frequently asked
Does this score mean Qearn 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.
