The DeFi Score is a single, consistently comparable value for measuring platform risk, based on factors including smart contract, centralization and financial risk. The model outputs an easy to understand 0–10 score that can be presented to users or integrated into other systems. We created the DeFi Score because we think the industry needs a way to understand and quantify the types of risk that accompany new smart contract lending platforms. Over the past few months, we have created a methodology to understand and assess those technical and financial risks. If decentralized finance is truly going to scale to the masses, we need a simple, transparent ratings system. We are happy to announce that the project is now open source and open for community.
