METHODOLOGY
Our Risk Assessment Framework
A systematic, multi-layered approach to quantifying and mitigating counterparty risk in decentralized finance, built on verifiable on-chain data and institutional-grade models.
01
Protocol & Smart Contract Security
Deep-dive audits of protocol logic, governance mechanisms, and smart contract code. We assess upgrade risks, admin key centralization, and historical exploit patterns to quantify technical vulnerability.
100+
Protocols Audited
5-Layer
Security Review
02
Financial & Economic Viability
Analysis of treasury health, revenue sustainability, tokenomics, and incentive alignment. We model stress scenarios for TVL outflows, liquidity crunches, and reward emission sustainability.

Why a dedicated risk framework is essential for institutional DeFi
Chainscore vs. Basic On-Chain Analytics
Basic on-chain data provides raw metrics, but institutional counterparty risk assessment requires a dedicated framework for actionable, real-time insights. This table compares the capabilities of generic analytics tools versus Chainscore's purpose-built solution.

METHODOLOGY
Our Assessment & Delivery Process
A structured, four-phase engagement designed to deliver actionable risk intelligence and secure integrations for institutional DeFi participation. We move from analysis to implementation with precision.
01
1. Protocol & Counterparty Discovery
We map your target DeFi ecosystem, identifying all relevant protocols (DEXs, lending markets, oracles) and counterparties. This includes analyzing governance structures, tokenomics, and on-chain activity to build a complete risk surface profile.

Institutional Counterparty Risk Assessment FAQs
Answers to the most common questions from CTOs and risk officers evaluating our institutional-grade counterparty risk assessment services for DeFi.
Our methodology is a multi-layered framework combining on-chain data analysis, protocol security audits, and governance evaluation. We analyze smart contract vulnerabilities (using static and dynamic analysis), economic security (TVL concentration, incentive alignment), governance centralization risks, and real-time operational metrics (liquidity depth, oracle reliance). This data is synthesized into a proprietary risk score and a detailed report with actionable mitigation strategies.
