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 principal decentralised exchange on Cronos, holding $89m on a single chain with two audits and published reports.

Our assessment

VVS Finance is the principal DEX on Cronos, holding $89m on a single chain with two recorded audits and reports linked. It is the smallest well-documented venue in this comparison, and its position depends entirely on the network it serves.

Single-chain concentration is the defining risk

A protocol deployed on one chain inherits that chain's fate completely — its activity, its validator set, its liquidity and its relevance. Cronos is associated with a single large exchange ecosystem, which brings users and also means the DEX's future is tied to decisions made elsewhere. That is a structural exposure, not a criticism of the code.

Audits published, which is the point

Two audits with reports linked and reachable documentation put VVS ahead of much larger venues in this table that publish nothing. Our rubric rewards this deliberately: a user can read what was reviewed and what was found, which is more useful than a TVL figure ten times larger with no evidence attached.

What $89m means for execution

At this size, large orders move the price. A trade that would clear at a few basis points of slippage on Uniswap can cost multiples of that here. For small trades on Cronos-native assets it is the right venue; for size on major pairs it is not, and the difference is easily measured before trading.

Who it suits

VVS fits Cronos users trading assets native to that ecosystem who want a documented, audited venue. Anyone trading major pairs in size should route through a larger multi-chain DEX.

Frequently asked

Does this score mean VVS Standard is safe to use?

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

Where does the TVL figure come from?

An independent public analytics platform, queried at the verification date. Anyone can re-run the same query.

Why do some protocols score zero on audits?

Because no audit report is linked in the public dataset. It records what a user can reach, not a claim that no audit was ever performed.
