Question 1

How does StableLens grade Marginfi?

Accepted Answer

StableLens applies its v1.0 ten-dimension risk model to every yield pool on Marginfi. 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 Marginfi considered DeFi or CeFi?

Accepted Answer

Marginfi 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 Marginfi's audit status?

Accepted Answer

Marginfi carries StableLens audit tier "Audited". Audited means at least one independent firm has audited the protocol. See the protocol details panel for the auditor list and links to individual audit reports.

Question 4

What tier does StableLens place Marginfi in?

Accepted Answer

Marginfi is Tier 2 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 Marginfi 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 Marginfi — StableLens never custodies funds, never signs transactions, and never executes trades on your behalf.
