The Lab

Every score on this site comes out of the same bench. Four weighted axes, run against the shipped code rather than the whitepaper.

Architecture

WEIGHT: 30%

We read the contracts and the client, not the deck. Consensus assumptions, upgrade keys, and failure modes under adversarial load.

Tokenomics

WEIGHT: 25%

Emission schedules, unlock cliffs, real fee capture, and whether the treasury can fund the roadmap it published.

Team & Governance

WEIGHT: 20%

Named contributors, shipping history, voting concentration, and how the protocol has behaved during its worst week.

Risk Profile

WEIGHT: 25%

Audit coverage, incident history, oracle and bridge dependencies, and the size of the blast radius when something breaks.

Disclosure

We take no payment from the projects we review, and nothing published here is financial advice. Scores are engineering judgments, not price targets.
