SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Users often lack a structured framework to evaluate DeFi protocol safety, leading to uninformed investment decisions and potential losses from exploits, unsustainable yields, or weak treasury reserves.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Factor Risk Analysis: Evaluates hack history, oracle dependencies, treasury health, TVL trends, and yield sustainability for any DeFi protocol.
  • Structured Risk Reporting: Generates clear risk ratings (LOW/MODERATE/HIGH) with detailed breakdowns of each risk factor.
  • Use Case: A user considering depositing funds into a new yield farming protocol can use this skill to get a full risk report to avoid protocols with past exploits or unsustainable reward emissions.

Quick Start

Use the risk-assessment skill to evaluate the risk profile of the Aave lending protocol.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate DeFi protocol risk before depositing funds?

To evaluate DeFi protocol risk, you need to analyze hack history, oracle dependencies, treasury reserves, and yield sustainability. This process generates structured risk ratings with detailed factor breakdowns to support informed financial decision-making.

What is yield sustainability and why does it matter for crypto risk assessment?

Yield sustainability measures whether a protocol's reward emissions are viable long-term or indicate Ponzi-tokenomics. Assessing yield sustainability is a critical part of crypto risk evaluation to avoid protocols with unsustainable reward structures that lead to treasury depletion.

Can I get a structured risk report for a new yield farming protocol?

Yes, you can generate a structured risk report for a new yield farming protocol. The analysis produces clear risk ratings (LOW/MODERATE/HIGH) with detailed breakdowns of security history, treasury health, and yield sustainability metrics.

Does protocol security analysis check oracle dependencies and past exploits?

Yes, protocol security analysis checks oracle dependencies and past exploits. Evaluating hack history and oracle reliance is fundamental to determining protocol safety and generating actionable risk signals for pre-investment due diligence.

What is the best way to perform due diligence on decentralized finance platforms?

The best way to perform due diligence on decentralized finance platforms is through multi-factor risk analysis. This approach evaluates treasury reserves, TVL trends, oracle dependencies, and yield sustainability to produce clear risk ratings for informed decision-making.

When should I not rely on a protocol's TVL for safety?

You should not rely solely on TVL for safety when treasury reserves are weak or yield emissions are unsustainable. High TVL does not mitigate crypto risk if the protocol has past exploits or vulnerable oracle dependencies, requiring a full multi-factor risk assessment.
