The Open Standard for Vault Performance

Notara provides independent, real-time analytics for DeFi vaults. We track performance, assess risk, and surface the data you need to make informed decisions.

What We Do

Independent Monitoring

We track vaults across protocols with on-chain data verification. No pay-to-play listings.

Performance Tracking

Daily snapshots of APR and TVL. Compare vaults against peers holding the same asset.

Risk Assessment

Five-factor methodology covering audits, maturity, incidents, complexity, and upgradeability.

Open Data

All ratings, methodology, and historical data are transparent and publicly accessible.

Rating System

Every vault receives two independent scores that answer different questions:

Risk Tier

Structural risk level based on five factors. Answers: “How much could I lose?”

PrimeScore 8-10. Highest security standards.

CoreScore 5-7. Solid fundamentals with some trade-offs.

EdgeScore 0-4. Higher risk, requires due diligence.

Performance Grade

Peer-relative returns for the same asset. Answers: “Am I being compensated for the risk?”

A+AB+BCDF

Grades are based on percentile rank within peer group (vaults holding the same asset).

Risk Factors

Five factors, each scored 0-2, determine the Risk Tier:

Audit Status

Has the vault been audited by a reputable firm with full coverage?

Audited by top firmPartial audit or olderNo audit

Protocol Maturity

How long has the protocol been live without major changes?

12+ months live6-12 months or proven forkLess than 6 months

Incident History

Has the vault or protocol experienced security incidents?

Zero incidentsMinor, fully remediatedMajor or unresolved

Strategy Complexity

How complex is the yield strategy?

Simple (lending, LP)Moderate (aggregation)Complex (leveraged, derivatives)

Upgradeability

Can contracts be changed, and how quickly?

Immutable or 7+ day timelock2-7 day timelockInstant upgrades possible

What We Don't Factor

—Team identity: Anonymity is valid in DeFi. We rate the vault, not the people.
—Asset price volatility: We rate vault execution, not your asset choice.
—TVL size: Bigger doesn't mean safer (above minimum thresholds).
—Social metrics: Discord size and Twitter followers don't predict risk.
