Aave V3
Exceptional trust profile for this defi_protocol. TrustGrade score 93/100 (Grade A).
Score Breakdown
How the TrustGrade algorithm computed this score.
Wilson Score Lower Bound
95% confidence interval lower bound on positive outcome rate. Penalizes small samples automatically.
Bayesian Posterior
Beta(α,β) posterior mean with sceptical prior. Adjusts observed rate toward conservative estimate.
Incident Penalty
Compound penalty: 1−(1−s)². 10% incidents → 19% penalty. 30% → 51%.
Volume Bonus
Log-credibility bonus: log₁₀(n)×k. More data = more confidence, diminishing returns.
Signal Contributions
Each signal's contribution to the final score. Positive = trust-building. Negative = risk-indicating.
| Signal | Value | Weight | Contribution | Visualization |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TVL Stability (30-day) | 143.0% | ±7 | +10.01 | |
| Audit Coverage | 138.0% | ±8 | +11.00 | |
| Exploit History | 112.0% | ±9 | +10.08 | |
| Team Transparency | 138.0% | ±4 | +5.50 | |
| Governance Decentralization | 116.0% | ±5 | +5.82 | |
| Yield Consistency | 140.0% | ±5 | +6.98 |
Why this grade?
Exceptional trust profile for this defi_protocol. TrustGrade score 93/100 (Grade A).
The TrustGrade algorithm combines the Wilson score lower bound (which requires substantial evidence to score high), a Bayesian posterior (which shrinks toward a conservative estimate when sample sizes are small), a compound incident penalty (which grows faster than linear), a log-credibility volume bonus, and 6 weighted optional signals specific to defi protocols.
✅ Exceptional: This entity scores in the top tier of the TrustGrade methodology, indicating strong trust signals across all measured dimensions.
