DeFiScoreAudit grades protocol solvency on the AAA-to-D scale institutions already trust — built on live on-chain data instead of quarterly filings, and paired with the two scores TradFi never had: legitimacy and mission traction.

Traditional finance runs on a shared risk vocabulary: a BBB bond means the same thing to a pension fund in Tokyo and a bank in Toronto. DeFi asks every participant to be their own analyst — and the losses show it.
DeFi's biggest losses split into three failure modes — insolvency, dishonesty, and irrelevance. Blending them into one number is how risk gets hidden. We publish all three, separately, with the reasoning behind each.
Will it stay solvent and honor its obligations?
The bond scale the world already speaks, rebuilt for on-chain reality: collateral quality, contract risk, treasury runway, governance control, and liquidity structure. The BBB line carries the same weight it does in fixed income — investment grade versus speculative.
Is it actually what it claims to be?
Promise versus delivery: roadmap commitments checked against shipped code, treasury spending against stated use, disclosures against on-chain conduct. No collateral ratio catches a lie — this score exists because rug pulls are legitimacy failures, not solvency failures.
Is it growing toward its own stated goal?
Not vanity TVL — traction measured against each protocol's own mission. Organic borrow demand for a lender. Real settlement volume for a stablecoin. Liquidity that stays after incentives end. Published as a trajectory, never a buy signal.
The rating agencies that failed in the financial crisis were paid by the issuers they graded. We are structured so that can't happen here.
Ratings are initiated by our coverage criteria, never by commercial engagement. There is no product a protocol can buy that touches its grade.
Revenue comes from investors, funds, DAOs, and institutions paying for detailed reports, monitoring, and API access.
Headline grades, legitimacy scores, and the rationale behind every rating action are permanently public.
Any future protocol-paid service is firewalled from rating determination and disclosed on the rating page itself.
Waitlist members get the first rating actions, the full published methodology, and early access to coverage requests.
One email at launch. Rating actions after that. Nothing else.
