#DeFiGetsGraded The decentralized finance (DeFi) sector just got its first official “report card” as a leading blockchain analytics firm released a grading framework ranking protocols by transparency, security, and adoption. Top projects like Aave, Uniswap, and Lido scored high, while several smaller protocols lagged in governance participation and code audits. The report highlights the growing maturity of DeFi, with investors increasingly seeking reliable metrics before committing capital. With over $100B in total value locked, these grades could influence market sentiment and capital flows, setting a new standard for accountability and trust in the fast-evolving DeFi landscape.
