#DeFiGetsGraded When people say "DeFi gets graded", they usually mean that decentralized finance projects are being evaluated or ranked based on specific metrics — much like a report card for blockchain protocols.
These grades can come from:
Security audits → How safe the smart contracts are (e.g., from CertiK, Hacken, or Code4rena).
Tokenomics → How sustainable the supply, distribution, and incentives are.
Transparency → Whether the team is doxxed, publishes on-chain data, and has open governance.
Liquidity & TVL (Total Value Locked) → How much money is actually in the protocol, and how stable it is.
Adoption & community activity → Real usage vs. hype.$BTC
