Deterministic DeFi vault risk scores with inspectable evidence trails, delivered as an API. Gate listings, power deposit flows, and give your compliance team a methodology they can actually defend.
GET /v1/scores/steakhouse-usdc ─── 200 OK ──────────────────────────{ "vault": "steakhouse-usdc", "score": 1.8, // 1.0 lowest risk — 5.0 "band": "low", "factors": { "technical": 1.5, "financial": 1.7, "operational": 1.8, "systemic": 2.4 … }, "kill_switches_tripped": 0, "evidence": "/v1/facts/steakhouse-usdc", "engine_version": "2.4.1", "facts_snapshot": "0x3f9a…c21e" // reproducible }
Everything is computed by the same deterministic core: fixed, versioned rules over verified facts. Same facts in, same answer out — every response carries the engine version and a facts snapshot so any score can be reproduced exactly.
Eight weighted factors — technical, financial, operational, systemic, complexity, frontend, legal, chain — plus 13 kill switches that floor the score when tripped.
deterministicThe verified facts under every score: audits, oracle setup, governance, incident history. Human-reviewed before promotion. Missing facts say “pending” — never fabricated.
auditableBalance and policy parameters in, scored portfolio out — risk ceilings, concentration caps, rebalance bands. For institutional partners.
early accessPost-Stream-Finance, integrators don't buy grades — they buy accountability. ClariQ scores are pure functions over inspectable facts, not model output.
No LLM in the scoring path. AI assists the fact-finding; humans review every fact before it can touch a score; the scoring itself is fixed rules.
An unverified fact renders as “pending,” and the score says so. A risk engine that guesses is a liability.
Fixed factor framework, versioned rules, changelog on every revision. Written for the compliance officer who has to sign off.
Protocols cannot pay for their own scores. Our customers are the businesses that rely on the scores — never their subjects.
Every vault is scored across the same eight dimensions. Weights are fixed and versioned; a single tripped kill switch — an unverifiable contract, an anonymous team holding upgrade keys — floors the score regardless of how well everything else reads.
Audit coverage, contract age, upgradeability, oracle design
Liquidity depth, collateral quality, yield source integrity
Team, governance process, incident response record
Counterparty webs, rehypothecation, contagion paths
Strategy legibility, dependency depth, moving parts
Deposit-path integrity, DNS posture, signing surface
Entity structure, jurisdiction, sanctions exposure
Sequencer trust, bridge dependencies, data availability
Every major embedded-yield launch shipped with a named third-party risk layer. The top curators serve the top exchanges — ClariQ serves everyone else.
Adding an Earn tab? Gate deposits on live risk scores and show users the evidence — without hiring a DeFi risk desk.
Stablecoin yield with concentration caps, risk ceilings, and a methodology document your regulator can read.
Responses are machine-readable and reproducible by design. Per-request agent payments (x402) are on the roadmap.
The ClariQ Terminal is our own research and portfolio surface, running on the same engine we license. Track positions across 8 chains, open any vault's score and walk its evidence trail. It's the fastest way to evaluate the scores before you embed them — free during beta.
We're working with early integration partners individually — pricing follows your volume and integration shape, not a public rate card. Public vault ratings will always have a free tier.
Start the conversationWe're onboarding a small number of integration partners while the API is in beta — early partners get direct input on the roadmap and NDA access to the full methodology.
