Smart contract audits are a must-have in DeFi, but not all auditors are created equal. Some have secured billions in assets, while others have missed critical exploits leading to massive losses. So, which auditors can you actually trust? We ran the numbers to find out. 🧵👇 An audit alone doesn’t always mean a protocol is safe. Some auditors have a spotless track record, while others have missed vulnerabilities that led to millions in losses. How do you separate the best from the rest? We built a data-driven framework to rank blockchain auditors based on: ✅ Experience: Years active + total audits completed ✅ Quality: Hack rate + average funds lost ✅ Trust: Team credentials + industry presence Each category is weighted equally to create a final auditor score. Our methodology 🔹 Experience (33%): More audits & a longer history = higher score 🔹 Quality (33%): Lower hack rate & funds lost = stronger track record 🔹 Trust (34%): Transparent teams & engaged presence = more credibility Based on these scores, we rank auditors in three tiers: 1️⃣ Tier 1: The best auditors with strong reputations & minimal security failures 2️⃣ Tier 2: Established auditors with solid records but some security incidents 3️⃣ Tier 3: Riskier auditors with a history of major security breaches or short track record 📊 Here's what the data tells us about smart contract auditors • The median auditor has 6+ years of experience • Half of auditors have conducted 69+ audits • The median hack rate is 5.88% • Half of the auditors have lost $29M+ due to exploits 💡 So, who made it into the rankings? 🏆: Tier 1 – Leading Auditors @sigp_io @HashExOfficial @code4rena @rv_inc @ImmuneBytes @zellic_io @MixBytes @SolidifiedHQ @hackenclub @peckshield @trailofbits @Beosin_com @Omniscia_sec @AckeeBlockchain @spearbit @chain_security @osec_io @sec3dev @secure3io @0xPaladinSec @ConsensysAudits @OpenZeppelin @HalbornSecurity @Quantstamp 💪 Tier 2 – Established Auditors @iosiro_security @BlockSecTeam @SmartStateTech @HunterBlockSec @coinfabrik @SECBIT_IO @CyfrinAudits @MoveBit_ @scalebit_ @LeastAuthority @TechRate1 @CertiK @trust__90 @statemindio @ABDKconsulting @HaechiLabs ⚠️ Tier 3 – Higher-Risk Auditors @yAuditDAO @dedotfi @PashovAuditGrp @pessimistic_io @softstackHQ @SlowMist_Team @coinspect @zokyo_io @SolidityFinance @KudelskiSec @dedaub @offbeatblog_eth @Neodyme @hexensio Want to challenge the data?

AMMs are a decentralized mechanism that allows you to provide liquidity to smart contracts, enabling isolated markets. Liquidity providers (LPs) are rewarded for providing this service with trading fees by users who want to exchange their assets. This amazing technology now allows any individual to be a market maker and earn yield on idle assets.

The collapse of BlockFi & Celsius shattered trust in crypto yield. But DeFi offers a fundamentally different approach that is transparent, onchain, and in your control. Here’s why earning yield on Exponential is nothing like CeFi’s past failures. 👇 1️⃣ Your assets are never on Exponential’s balance sheet Unlike BlockFi & Celsius, where user funds were mixed with company money (and lost in bankruptcies), your assets on Exponential stay onchain—fully separate & always in your control. Even if we shut down, your funds remain yours and can be withdrawn. 2️⃣ Every transaction is fully onchain CeFi hid risks behind closed doors. Depositors had zero visibility into how their funds were used. With Exponential, every deposit, yield payment, & withdrawal is recorded transparently on the blockchain. No hidden leverage. No off-balance-sheet risks. 3️⃣ Only YOU can move your funds CeFi platforms could freeze withdrawals, lend out deposits, or use your funds as collateral without asking. At Exponential, only YOU have control. Our multi-party computation tech ensures no third party can touch your funds. Your crypto, your keys, your control. 🔐 4️⃣ Yield comes from transparent, onchain DeFi protocols BlockFi & Celsius promised high yields but took on extreme risk in shady deals. Users had no clue how returns were generated until it was too late. On Exponential, yield is sourced from verifiable DeFi pools with clear risk ratings. No hidden counterparties. No surprises. ----------- DeFi, when done right, is the antidote to CeFi failures. ✅ Your funds aren’t co-mingled ✅ Every transaction is transparent ✅ Only you control your assets ✅ Yield is sourced from audited, onchain DeFi protocols If you’ve been burned by CeFi, your skepticism is valid. But history doesn’t have to repeat itself. DeFi gives you control, transparency, and security. Explore verified onchain yield today with Exponential.fi. https://lnkd.in/gv2EFFKS

This Week in Crypto 🗞️ 📈 DeFi protocols may outpace the broader crypto market this year. Kaiko points to upcoming regulatory clarity under the Trump administration as a key catalyst. Kaiko’s DeFi index (KSDEFI) has outperformed ETH, surging roughly 75% since October 2023. Uniswap and Aave could soon enable “fee switches” that distribute protocol revenue to token holders, while Wall Street’s accelerated tokenization push may boost RWA projects like Ondo. 👀 Hyperliquid flips Solana in fees. Hyperliquid has overtaken Solana in 7-day fees, generating $12.6M with its zero-gas, fully onchain perpetuals DEX, but concerns over centralization and a closed-source API remain. Notably, all fees generated on the platform are reinvested into the community, funding HYPE buybacks and liquidity incentives. 🚀 MKR soars 50% following governance drama. Sky (formerly Maker) saw its SKY/MKR token surge 70% in two weeks after governance facilitators blocked what some labeled a hostile takeover attempt. GFX Labs’ PaperImperium ignited the controversy by calling out a rushed proposal to double MKR’s borrowing power and raise its loan-to-value from 50% to 80%, while founder Rune Christensen defended the move as necessary to ward off attackers aiming to accumulate voting control, drawing parallels to past on-chain governance battles.
