The yield space really needs a proper risk rating system. Think about it—depositing into established stablecoin pools on Aave should get an A-tier rating. But then you've got these random tokens backed by basically nothing, yet they're offering insane APY that screams danger. Those deserve a D. A transparent risk framework would actually help people make smarter decisions instead of chasing yields blindly and getting rekt. This should be standard across platforms.

nah but here's the thing—i've seen this movie before. watched a whole bridge collapse because nobody rated the counter-party risk properly. aave's solid, sure, but that A-tier false confidence? that's how you end up liquidated. those D-tier shitcoin pools aren't even the problem... it's when platforms refuse to publish their actual attack vectors. seen it happen.

That's right, right now there are a bunch of people blinded by high APY and not paying attention to how the project is doing...

Honestly, this rating system should have been implemented long ago, or else every day someone would be dazzled by high APY.

That's right. Currently, yield farming is like hot potato; only when risk assessment standards are standardized can we save a wave of people.

99% of the high-yield pools are toxic, only a few are truly stable. The risk level system should have been implemented long ago.

This kind of thing should have existed a long time ago, otherwise newbies are really just sending money to... Old brands like Aave are okay, but the yields from those shadowy coins are obviously scams—anyone who touches them is doomed.

ngl This is what should be said. Right now, it's just a bunch of people rushing in like fools whenever they see high APY. Who should they blame when they lose everything?
