Risk Desk
Static risk tiers help frame yield in context. Scores combine public audit posture, TVL band, and protocol age, then map to low, medium, or high terminal badges across the dashboard.
Audited protocols start from a lower base risk than unaudited systems. Active integrations and program complexity can still move the score up.
Deeper liquidity and a larger capital base generally improve market resilience and execution confidence, but do not remove smart contract or liquidity risks.
Older protocols with sustained usage and fewer major disruptions receive lower risk bands than newer or rapidly changing systems.
Kamino scores low risk thanks to public audits, deep TVL, and a longer operating history on Solana. Vault complexity still adds strategy risk, but the base protocol profile is comparatively strong.
MarginFi lands in medium risk: it has meaningful TVL and audit coverage, but active product iteration and money-market leverage dynamics justify a more cautious tier than Kamino.
Orca earns a medium score. The venue is mature and widely used, but LP strategies add impermanent loss and concentrated-liquidity management risk beyond plain lending markets.
