Question 1

How does StableLens grade Venus?

Accepted Answer

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

Accepted Answer

Venus 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 Venus's audit status?

Accepted Answer

Venus 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 Venus in?

Accepted Answer

Venus is Tier 1 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 Venus 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 Venus — StableLens never custodies funds, never signs transactions, and never executes trades on your behalf.
