The 12 Dimensions

Each dimension captures an independent axis of protocol risk. Weights reflect empirical correlation with exploit outcomes across 200+ historical DeFi incidents. 11 of 12 dimensions are fully open — formulas, weights, and data sources are published. D7 (Adversarial Resilience) uses proprietary methodology.

Active Dimensions

D1
Access Control18% weightopen

Permission models, admin surface, reentrancy protection, and authorization boundaries. #1 exploit vector by dollar loss in DeFi history.

D2
Economic Soundness13% weightopen

Robustness of economic model against flash loans, MEV, liquidation cascades, and incentive misalignment under stress.

D3
Oracle Integrity13% weightopen

Oracle architecture, manipulation resistance, staleness protection, fallback mechanisms, and feed redundancy.

D7
Adversarial Resilience10% weightproprietary methodology

Measures protocol resilience under independent adversarial security research. Higher scores reflect stronger resistance to sophisticated attack methodologies.

D11
Operational Security10% weightopen

Incident response speed, deployment hygiene, key management, monitoring infrastructure, and emergency history.

D4
Compositional Risk5% weightopen

Protocol-intrinsic composition: external dependencies, cross-contract interactions, and integration surface area.

D12
Cascade Exposure5% weightopen

Extrinsic systemic risk: upstream dependency failures that propagate into this protocol, and downstream blast radius if this protocol fails.

D8
Supply Chain4% weightopen

Compiler version CVEs, library dependencies, build reproducibility, and proxy pattern risk.

Conditional Dimensions

These dimensions activate only when relevant to a protocol's architecture. When active, their weight is redistributed from the base allocation.

D9

Conditional: liquidation cascades, holder concentration (Gini), exit queue analysis. Active for protocols with tradeable positions.

View full details
D10

Conditional: bridge trust model, sequencer risk, fraud proof maturity, cross-chain replay risk.
