# Protocol DD Framework

**Area 1. Technical Security**

We assess how robust the protocol’s codebase is and how well it is designed to withstand external attacks. Given the limited direct access to internal code quality, we rely on indirect indicators such as security audits, bug bounty programs, and historical performance.

* Audit
* Bug Bounty Program
* Track Record
* Admin Key Structure
* Dependencies
* Documentations

**Area 2. Economic Security**

We evaluate whether the protocol’s yield sources, tokenomics, and risk mechanisms are sustainable under extreme market conditions without collapsing.

* Liquidity
* Yield Source Consistency
* TVL and volatility
* Liquidation/Deleveraging mechanism
* Insurance/Reserve Funds

**Area 3. Operational & Governance Trust**

We assess the trustworthiness and transparency of the team or DAO operating the protocol.

* Team Structure and Reputation
* Off-chain Operational Risk
* Governance Transparency
* VCs and Partners
