Yield Risk Grader
Select any protocol for an instant A-F risk grade based on TVL, audits, operating years, chain diversification, and IL exposure. For deeper analysis, request the QWEN AI review.
Quick answer. Grades run A+ to D from a 0–100 heuristic score across five factors: TVL, audits, operating years, chain diversification and impermanent-loss exposure. An A grade signals low structural risk; a C or D flags elevated risk and warrants a small position or skipping the protocol entirely. Grades screen risk — they are not audits or guarantees.

Yield Risk Grader FAQ
Which factors determine the risk grade?
Five weighted factors: total value locked, number and recency of audits, years in production, diversification across multiple chains, and exposure to impermanent loss. The tool shows the full point breakdown so you can see exactly why a grade was assigned.
Is an A grade the same as an audit or a guarantee?
No. The grade is a transparent heuristic based on public metadata and DifiCalc editorial review data. It cannot catch a future exploit, governance failure or market crash, and it is not a substitute for reading audit reports yourself.
What is the difference between the grade and the AI deep review?
The instant grade is a deterministic score from the five factors. The optional QWEN AI review adds a structured narrative — yield sustainability, strengths, risks and a verdict — generated from the same protocol data and review notes.
Where does the protocol data come from and how current is it?
Grades use the DifiCalc protocol dataset that backs the written reviews, including TVL, audits, founded year and supported chains. Each review page shows a published and last-verified date so you know how fresh the inputs are.
What grade should I require before depositing?
A or A+ protocols are appropriate for core positions; B+ can be considered with smaller size; B needs a specific reason and tight monitoring; C and D are elevated or high risk and should generally be avoided by conservative users.
Does the grader connect to my wallet or move funds?
Never. It is a read-only assessment tool. No wallet connection is requested and no transactions are initiated by DifiCalc.
