# Staking Rewards - DeFi Ratings

The Staking Rewards DeFi Ratings turn opaque protocol risk into a **structured, comparable score**. It is built on an **open-question framework that anyone can use for their own research, and on** a documented scoring model that we apply consistently across protocols.

This GitBook explains **how the framework works**, **how to interpret the ratings**, and **how to work with Staking Rewards.** Either by integrating the ratings or by having your own protocol assessed.
