BendDAO
Generally trustworthy, but some signals introduce uncertainty. TVL Stability (30-day) above average. Audit Coverage above average.
Score Breakdown
How the TrustGrade algorithm computed this score.
Wilson Score Lower Bound
95% confidence interval lower bound on positive outcome rate. Penalizes small samples automatically.
Bayesian Posterior
Beta(α,β) posterior mean with sceptical prior. Adjusts observed rate toward conservative estimate.
Incident Penalty
Compound penalty: 1−(1−s)². 10% incidents → 19% penalty. 30% → 51%.
Volume Bonus
Log-credibility bonus: log₁₀(n)×k. More data = more confidence, diminishing returns.
Signal Contributions
Each signal's contribution to the final score. Positive = trust-building. Negative = risk-indicating.
| Signal | Value | Weight | Contribution | Visualization |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TVL Stability (30-day) | 88.2% | ±7 | +5.35 | |
| Audit Coverage | 80.0% | ±8 | +4.80 | |
| Exploit History | 100.0% | ±9 | +9.00 | |
| Team Transparency | 30.0% | ±4 | -1.60 | |
| Governance Decentralization | 56.0% | ±5 | +0.60 | |
| Oracle Resilience | 65.0% | ±4 | +1.20 |
Why this grade?
Generally trustworthy, but some signals introduce uncertainty. TVL Stability (30-day) above average. Audit Coverage above average.
The TrustGrade algorithm combines the Wilson score lower bound (which requires substantial evidence to score high), a Bayesian posterior (which shrinks toward a conservative estimate when sample sizes are small), a compound incident penalty (which grows faster than linear), a log-credibility volume bonus, and 6 weighted optional signals specific to defi protocols.
