Sources and methodology
How to reproduce and interpret this snapshot
- Start with TokenRadar's tracked CoinGecko-backed market registry.
- Include only assets with a completed TokenRadar metric record.
- Calculate the Risk Index as the simple average risk score multiplied by 10.
- Assign scores 1–3 to lower, 4–6 to moderate, and 7–10 to higher observed risk buckets.
- Calculate category averages equally by asset; do not market-cap weight them.
Limitations: category membership can overlap, market data changes continuously, volume does not guarantee executable liquidity, and the score does not measure every smart-contract, governance, legal, or counterparty risk. Review the full scoring methodology and the CoinGecko data source.
