"DeFi Gets Report Cards: Why Protocol Ratings Matter Now More Than

Ever

"The New Grading System**

- Independent firms now score DeFi protocols (security, liquidity,

tokenomics)

- Letter grades (A+ to F) replace vague "DYOR" demands

-First to be rated: Aave (A), Uniswap (A-), Curve (B+)

"What's Being Graded?**

"Code Audits**: How many? By whom?

Liquidity Depth**: Can you exit positions easily?

Team Doxxing**: Anonymous devs = higher risk

Oracle Reliability**: Price feed vulnerabilities?

"Why This Helps You**

Spot risky farms before you ape in

Compare yields "safely" (8% on an A-protocol > 20% on a C-)

- Institutional money follows ratings
