Safety score: 68/100 — Adequate
- Collateral quality & transparency (30%)55
What actually backs the token and how often it is verified. Treasury-backed with daily or on-chain proof scores highest; unattested reserves score lowest.
- Peg stability (25%)87
Live deviation from $1.00 plus the worst historical depeg on record. A single deep depeg keeps weighing on the score.
- Liquidity depth (20%)84
Tracked on-chain pool liquidity in absolute dollars and as a share of circulating supply — how much can exit before the price moves.
- Issuer & legal structure (15%)48
Regulatory status of the issuer and whether holders have a direct redemption right or only a secondary market exit.
- Track record (10%)53
Years in production, minus documented incidents.
