Protocol Security Scoring

Protocol security scoring is a standardized way to evaluate the safety and risk level of a DeFi protocol. These scores typically aggregate data from multiple sources, including code audits, bug bounty program activity, historical uptime, and community governance quality.

Insurance providers use these scores as a primary input for their underwriting process, with higher-scoring protocols receiving lower premiums. This system creates a positive feedback loop, where protocols are incentivized to improve their security to reduce their insurance costs.

It also provides users with a clear, objective metric to compare the risk profiles of different investment opportunities within the DeFi ecosystem.
