#CreatorPad DeFi Gets Report Cards: Why Protocol Ratings Matter Now More Than Ever*

šŸ“Š **The New Grading System**

- Independent firms now score DeFi protocols (security, liquidity, tokenomics)

- Letter grades (A+ to F) replace vague "DYOR" demands

- First to be rated: Aave (A), Uniswap (A-), Curve (B+)

šŸ” **What’s Being Graded?**

1ļøāƒ£ **Code Audits**: How many? By whom?

2ļøāƒ£ **Liquidity Depth**: Can you exit positions easily?

3ļøāƒ£ **Team Doxxing**: Anonymous devs = higher risk

4ļøāƒ£ **Oracle Reliability**: Price feed vulnerabilities?

šŸ’” **Why This Helps You**

- Spot risky farms before you ape in

- Compare yields *safely* (8% on an A- protocol > 20% on a C-)

- Institutional money follows ratings

āš ļø **Caveat**: Don’t blindly trust grades—still check governance activity and exploit history.
