DefiLlama Launches Universal Token Ratings Dashboard

DefiLlama has introduced a new token rating system that assigns each token a single 0‑100 score and a AAA‑to‑CCC letter grade.

• The system, built with Forgd, uses roughly 40 inputs split into two 0‑10 scores: Disclosure (team, tokenomics, vesting, legal, treasury, service‑provider engagements) and Performance (liquidity depth, spreads, volume, exchange coverage, derivatives conditions, market‑maker adherence).
• Final grades are calculated by multiplying the Disclosure and Performance scores, preventing a project from masking weak market performance with strong disclosures or vice versa.
• Ratings update continuously as onchain events, unlocks, new listings, and market‑maker mandate changes occur.
• Early leaderboard shows Uniswap at the top with a AAA grade; Meteora, Curve DAO, and others hold AA grades, while Collector Crypt, Olympus, and PancakeSwap are among the lowest CCC scorers.
