Reti Pooling
Best for audited protocol with published methodology
How it rates
- Audit report linked from a public dataset
- Accounting methodology published
- Single-chain deployment
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.

A permissionless staking pool protocol on Algorand holding $64m, with published audits and no minimum stake requirement to participate.
Our assessment
Réti Pooling holds $64m with two audits and reports linked, the strongest evidence profile among the plain staking protocols in this comparison. It lets Algorand holders participate in consensus below the threshold required to run a node alone.
Pooling exists because thresholds exclude people
Most proof-of-stake networks require a minimum stake to run a validator, which excludes ordinary holders and concentrates consensus among those who can meet it. A permissionless pool lets small holders contribute their stake to a node operator and share the rewards, which widens participation rather than deepening concentration.
Permissionless matters more than pooled
Any pool widens access. A permissionless one — where anyone can run a node for the protocol without approval — also avoids replacing a stake threshold with a whitelist. That distinction is the difference between decentralising participation and relocating the gatekeeping.
Evidence position
Two audits with reports linked and documented mechanics. Contract risk carries 35% of the score in this category, and published review is the strongest indicator available before a protocol has years of operating history behind it.
Who it suits
Réti fits Algorand holders who want to stake without meeting node requirements and value audited contracts. Holders on other networks should look for the equivalent pooling protocol on their chain.
Frequently asked
Does this score mean Reti Pooling 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.
