3. Findings — ranked by severity

1. LOW Vesting & unlock calendar

Unlock schedule is UNKNOWN — the protocol is not tracked by DefiLlama emissions and no schedule was machine-readable. Missing evidence: a published unlock/vesting schedule from the project's docs.

Evidence: DefiLlama emissions endpoint is paywalled (HTTP 402 at last check) or the protocol is untracked there

4. Analysis

Holder concentration — PASS

Top 10 wallets hold 0.0% of supply on this chain (raw on-chain; includes contracts, bridges, vesting vaults — wallet labels are a manual-review step).

Insider concentration

UNKNOWN — insider allocation % requires the project's published allocation docs (manual checkpoint).

Unlock risk

70% of supply circulates; 30% is locked or unissued — future unlock pressure exists even where the calendar is unpublished.

Value accrual

The protocol charges real fees (DefiLlama). Whether any of that value reaches token holders — buyback, burn, revenue share — is UNKNOWN without the project's docs (manual checkpoint).

Annualized protocol fees (24h × 365): $1,119,296,670 · fees/FDV = 16.75%

Peer comparison

UNKNOWN — no curated peer set for this token yet.

5. Methodology, limitations & disclaimers

Public sources only: the aggregators and chain data named above, accessed on the date shown. No internal cap tables, no private agreements, no team-wallet labels beyond what sources publish. Checkpoints requiring project documentation (initial allocation, holder capture of fees, demand drivers) are graded in the manual review layer; the engine grades only what it measured and marks the rest UNKNOWN rather than guessing. Figures are a snapshot; tokenomics change — re-check before acting.

1) Not a security audit — no contract code, custody, or operational security was reviewed. 2) Not financial advice — no recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any token. 3) No price predictions — supply mechanics only; valuation figures are arithmetic, not forecasts. 4) Public sources — errors in source material propagate; verify independently. 5) No outcome guarantees — a Sound grade does not imply performance; a Fragile grade does not imply failure. 6) Independence — prepared without engagement from the project team beyond the review fee, which does not influence grades.
