Methodology

Every project is scored out of 10 on five pillars. The final rating is a weighted average, rounded to one decimal. Scores are revisited quarterly and after any material incident.

Technology

25%

Does the code do what the documentation claims? We read the contracts, run the testnet and check whether upgrades are timelocked.

Team

20%

Named contributors with verifiable history score higher than pseudonymous ones. Shipping cadence matters more than headcount.

Tokenomics

20%

Supply schedule, unlock cliffs, real demand for the token, and whether growth is bought with emissions.

Community

15%

Signal over volume. We look at governance turnout and developer activity, not follower counts.

Security

20%

Audit recency relative to deployed code, bug bounty size, incident history and how honestly incidents were disclosed.

What we never do

  • — Accept payment from a project in exchange for a review or a score.
  • — Publish a score without disclosing what we could not verify.
  • — Quietly edit a review; every change is logged with a date.
