Question 1

How does StableLens grade Curve?

Accepted Answer

StableLens applies its v1.0 ten-dimension risk model to every yield pool on Curve. The grade combines smart-contract risk, issuer/asset, peg stability, liquidity, counterparty, chain, oracle/bridge, regulatory, sustainability, and counter-stress scores into a letter grade from AAA (lowest risk) to D (highest). The full methodology is open source at /methodology/v0.1.

Question 2

Is Curve considered DeFi or CeFi?

Accepted Answer

Curve is classified as DeFi on StableLens. DeFi means the protocol runs as a smart contract — users retain custody and execution is on-chain.

Question 3

What is Curve's audit status?

Accepted Answer

Curve carries StableLens audit tier "Unknown". Unaudited or Unknown means we have not verified independent audit coverage. See the protocol details panel for the auditor list and links to individual audit reports.

Question 4

What tier does StableLens place Curve in?

Accepted Answer

Curve is Tier 4 on StableLens. Tier 1 is reserved for blue-chip DeFi protocols with multi-billion-dollar historical TVL and a multi-year unblemished operational history. Tier 2 is established protocols with strong audit + history. Tier 3 is newer or smaller. Tier 4 is unverified or experimental.

Question 5

Are Curve yields safe to deposit into?

Accepted Answer

StableLens does not provide investment advice. The risk grade summarizes our analysis but every depositor must do their own diligence. The Deposit links on pool pages route directly to Curve — StableLens never custodies funds, never signs transactions, and never executes trades on your behalf.
