List Solity Network as first external Risk Model Provider

Summary
Solity Network is the infrastructure for Decentralized Finance (DeFi) to enable real-time processing of fundamental risk across chains, protocols, and liquidity pools. By aggregating multi-chain risk parameters, Solity Network creates transparency, sets the stage for machine learning, and allows the implementation of accurate risk/reward strategies for DeFi protocols. For more information, visit our website.

  • Development activity
  • Social activity
  • Security
  • Liquidity
  • Decentralization
  • Tokenomics

For more details on the risk dimensions and underlying metrics, see the information below in the specifications.

Specifications on risk dimensions

1. Development activity
The development activity score consists of the following sub-elements and parameters:

  • Contribution: Number of commits, pull requests, and issues created by developers
  • Engagement: Developer engagement with the community when interacting on issues
  • Documentation: Quality of repo documentation and code as well as number of comments on commits
  • Developer dependency: Distribution of individual developer contribution

2. Social activity
The social activity score consists of the following sub-elements and parameters:

  • Telegram: The score includes total and daily messages of the channel, total and online member count of the channel, score on sentiment model, among others
  • Discord: The score for a given day includes the total and active member count, total message count, total unique user count, user-message frequency, word frequency, average sentiment score in a given day, among others
  • Reddit: The score includes data on reddit channel (e.g., daily total subscribers, daily active subscribers, moderator count), reddit posts (e.g., daily upvotes, downvotes, comments, awards, average sentiment on given day), as well as a sentiment score

3. Security
The security score consists of the following elements: Smart contract deployment date in combination with TVL, audit information including who audited the smart contracts, upgradability, static analyses, bounty size, existence of whitepaper, team data, number of hacks, and smart contract statistics.

4. Decentralization
The decentralization score is measured based on the number of tokens, token holders, tokens per wallet, wallet ages, network participation, governance parameters (e.g., democracy indicator) as well as distribution (e.g., Gini coefficient).

5. Liquidity
The methodology for the liquidity score depends on the protocol type. We differentiate hereby between lending protocols, decentralized exchanges, and yield aggregators/optimizers:

  • Lending protocols: Specifically, we take into account the overall health factor of the protocol, top wallets and assets, top added/removed liquidity for lending pools, total liquidity, daily volume, token price, collateral value, health factor of debt, liquidity rate/depth, the number of active borrowers and lenders, and the number of unique addresses interacting with the protocol
  • Decentralized exchanges: Specifically, we take into account the market efficiency of decentralized exchanges, correlation of underlying assets, liquidity concentration, volume and the assessment of TVL
  • Yield aggregators/optimizers: We take into account capitalization factors for the respective protocol

6. Tokenomics
The tokenomics score takes into account risk concerning price manipulation, market positioning, block producer, token circulation, token value stability, token economics, token utility, token distribution, and token liquidity.

How does Solity Network benefit from this?

Nice, the first new Risk Model Provider for the Spool protocol! :tada:

I’m fully on board with this proposal. Risk is such an important factor in finance, and Spool a rare star who is paying a lot of attention to it by engraining it to the core functionality, all to make users aware of this importance.
Partnering in this manner with an external DeFi risk professional team seems like a great win-win-win:

  • Spool DAO increases the product base for Smart Vault creators who can chose from another underlying risk model provider
  • Solity gets exposure in showing their expertiese as risk experts to all DeFi and Spool users specifically
  • Users of Spool have more variety and options in following their personal risk believes

Thanks for asking, sidahimsa, and thanks for summing up the benefits for all sides, laserino!

Indeed, the main benefit for us is that we get exposure and can show our capabilities. Additionally, once we have proven our value, Solity Network, as a vetted Risk Model Provider, may benefit from performance fees as outlined in the docs: Risk Management Mechanics - Spool Tech Docs
