36/100 — Audited by Token Verdict
Aave is the dominant non-custodial liquidity protocol on Ethereum — users deposit assets to earn yield or borrow against collateral, with V3 live across 10+ chains and V4 in active development. Every red flag here is a scraper false positive: Stani Kulechov and the Aave Labs team are fully public, the protocol has been audited by Trail of Bits, OpenZeppelin, and Sigma Prime, $AAVE governance is live and battle-tested, and tokenomics (Safety Module staking, fee distribution) are thoroughly documented. With $10B+ in TVL and five years of mainnet operation without a protocol-level exploit, Aave sits at the top tier of DeFi credibility. Score: 88/100 — established blue-chip, pipeline scores are meaningless here.
