Risk Assessment
Average
Protocol Code Quality
- Code reviewed by several experienced auditors; Neodyme and OtterSec
- Public team promotes accountability
- No documented protocol hacks since launch
Protocol Maturity
- Latest protocol version launched in 2022; maturity over one year minimizes technical risk as smart contracts are well battle-tested
- Top 5% by total value locked reduces risk
- Multisig wallet controls protocol upgrades
- Multisig consists of at least 4 signers, which means the protocol is less susceptible to centralization risks
- No timelock exists or no information documented, which mean a malicious actor could approve upgrades without any delay
- Low voting power concentration reduces risk
Protocol Design
- Poor mechanisms to mitigate oracle price manipulation
- This protocol is susceptible to risks related to staking a token to secure a network, such as slashing events
