Security Rating Methodology

The explanation on how the security rating is calculated.

Pramb employs a comprehensive security rating methodology to assess the risk associated with each DeFi protocol. This rating, ranging from 1 to 100, provides a standardized measure of a protocol's security posture. A higher security rating indicates a more secure protocol with a lower likelihood of hacks, bugs, or exploits.

The Security Rating is calculated based on five key factors, each with a specific weight:

  1. Project Implementation (10%):

    • Project nature and technical complexity

    • Roadmap and planned future changes

    • Underlying blockchain technology

  2. Project Operation (15%):

    • Project age and operational history

    • Total value locked (TVL)

    • Existing insurance coverage on funds

  3. Team Qualification (5%):

    • Team anonymity or transparency

    • Team experience, especially in programming and smart contract development

    • Overall operational and management capabilities

  4. Audit (40%):

    • Transparency and scope of audits

    • Findings and vulnerabilities identified in audits

    • Reputation and trustworthiness of auditing firms

    • Frequency of audits and updates

  5. Code (30%):

    • Open-source nature of the code

    • Existence of a bug bounty program

    • Issues raised on GitHub or by the community

    • Quality of documentation and testing

    • Code readability and architecture

    • Oracle usage and security

    • Layer-2 solution adoption

    • Integration with external protocols

    • Access control management

    • Security administration practices

    • Use of multi-signature wallets

This multi-faceted approach allows Pramb to assess the overall security posture of each protocol, taking into account various factors that contribute to its resilience against potential risks. The resulting security rating helps users make informed decisions about their DeFi investments and choose the most secure platforms for their assets.
