On-Chain Risk Assessment

Definition

On-chain risk assessment involves evaluating potential vulnerabilities and threats by analyzing data directly from blockchain ledgers. This process examines transaction patterns, smart contract code, protocol activity, and wallet behavior to identify indicators of financial instability, security exploits, or malicious actions. It utilizes the transparent and immutable nature of blockchain data to gain insights into liquidity risks, credit risks, and operational risks within decentralized finance protocols. The objective is to provide a comprehensive view of the inherent risks associated with digital assets and decentralized applications.
