Risk Assessment
Average
Protocol Code Quality
- Code reviewed by several experienced auditors; Certik and Halborn
- Anonymous team reduces transparency
- No documented protocol hacks since launch
Protocol Maturity
- Latest protocol version launched in 2024; maturity over six months reduces technical risk as smart contracts are moderately battle-tested
- Top 10% by total value locked reduces risk
- Multisig wallet controls protocol upgrades
- Multisig consists of less than 4 signers, which makes the protocol more susceptible to centralization risks
- No timelock exists or no information documented, which mean a malicious actor could approve upgrades without any delay
- No governance token and/or contracts are fully immutable
Protocol Design
- Robust controls to mitigate oracle price manipulation
- Secured lending market that uses a combination of isolated and cross-collateral pools depending on the individual asset serves to reduce risk
- Solid controls in place to prevent risky borrowing
- Solid mechanisms in place to ensure healthy liquidations
- Solid methods to accrue protocol reserves
