What is a Yield Audit?

A Yield Audit is a comprehensive security assessment that evaluates the code, economic model, and dependencies of yield-generating protocols to ensure safety and sustainability.

What is the Yield Risk Score (YRS)?

The Yield Risk Score (YRS) is a standardized metric that quantifies the risk level of yield-generating protocols, helping investors make informed decisions.

Why do I need a Yield Audit?

A Yield Audit helps build trust with institutional investors, increases transparency, and can significantly boost your Total Value Locked (TVL) by demonstrating protocol security and sustainability.

Independent Yield Audit for secure and sustainable TVL growth

Prove your Stablecoin, RWA & DeFi yields are secure, sustainable, and dependency-resilient to gain market recognition, attract retail and institutional users, and increase your TVL.

Why the market needs a comparable yield label now

Yield exploits have drained $49B from crypto investors. That's 55% of all losses in the industry's history – and it's still happening.
When yield risk is unclear, investors freeze. Retail users don't trust what they can't verify — and institutional capital won't flow into opportunities that lack independent assurance or where risk remains opaque.

The result?

A market that's growing fast – but not safely. Without clear yield transparency, capital remains cautious.

That's where Yield Audit comes in.

Our solution

While a smart contract audit verifies the security of the code, it doesn't cover the economic and dependency risks behind the offered yield percentage and its sustainability.

Yield Audit extends assurance beyond code — giving investors confidence in both the yield and its resilience, which directly supports sustainable TVL growth.

We independently assess crypto yield products — translating their code, economics, and dependencies into a single, comparable Yield Risk Score (YRS).

Each audit delivers a clear, prioritized remediation plan, so teams can fix risk fast and prove safety to investors.

How your Yield Risk Score is calculated

We assess three pillars (in this order):

Security & Infrastructure

Is the tech stack secure and resilient?
Are privileges, custody, and distribution logic properly controlled?
Could any integration or monitoring gap expose yield operations?

Financial Sustainability

Is the promised yield percentage economically sustainable?
Are revenues and liquidity sufficient to support it long term?
How does the model perform under stress or market volatility?

Dependency & Systemic Risk

Are the assets and dependencies legally sound and resilient?
Do oracles, bridges, and custodians introduce correlated risks?
Could legal or jurisdictional exposure threaten yield continuity?

Outcomes YRS brings to you and to the market

DeFi yield protocols & vaults

Convert risk-averse users with a recognizable YRS backed by technical evidence and dependency stress tests.

Stablecoin wrappers & CEXs

Re-open partner channels and expand deposit inflows by proving custody segregation, distribution logic, counterparty controls, and redemption resilience.

RWA issuers & credit pools

Win institutional tickets by evidencing underlying assets, cash flows, legal enforceability, and exposure limits.

Staking, LST & restaking

Quantify validator safety, slashing controls, oracle/bridge risk, and distribution integrity so integrators can route deposits confidently.

End-to-end Yield Audit process

Scope confirmation, access setup (repos, contracts/addresses, infra runbooks, custody procedures, oracle/bridge configs), and business model brief.

Output: Final scope + audit timelines.

What you get next

Your YRS, certificate, and agreed-upon report.

Disclosure control:

keep the full report private for partner diligence, and publish a certificate (badge + redacted one-pager) for market signaling – without disclosing sensitive yield sources or proprietary strategies, ensuring your business secrets remain protected.

Institutional trust:

third-party YRS and NIST-mapped findings.

Lower cost of capital:

comparable labeling helps allocators price risk rationally.

De-risk TVL growth:

prove yields are real, reproducible, and not emissions-dependent.

Resilience by design:

surface hidden dependencies and contagion paths before they break.
