RedStone Unveils DeFi Risk Ratings Weeks After $20B Market Wipeout
Modular oracle network RedStone has unveiled Credora, a decentralized finance (DeFi) risk ratings platform designed to enhance transparency and credit analytics across DeFi lending markets.
The move comes just weeks after a $20 billion liquidation shook the crypto markets, pushing risk management to the forefront of DeFi innovation.
From Oracles to Risk Intelligence
RedStone announced on Thursday that it has expanded beyond price feeds into the broader domain of credit, collateral, and risk intelligence through its recent acquisition of Credora.
At launch, Credora integrates with Morpho and Spark, offering dynamic risk scores and default-probability analytics via an open API.
Co-founder Marcin Kaźmierczak said the initiative marks a key milestone toward the “Low-Risk DeFi” movement, which balances yield generation with verifiable transparency.
How Credora by RedStone Works
Kaźmierczak said Credora uses historical data, models, and simulations to gauge loss probability in lending pools.
The system consolidates creditworthiness, default probabilities, and collateral data into a unified ratings layer.
This enables users to compare DeFi vaults or loans by relative risk, a feature appealing to institutional investors exploring tokenized treasuries and structured credit products.
Industry Moves Toward Risk Transparency
RedStone joins a broader trend among blockchain data providers expanding into risk intelligence.
Earlier this month, S&P Global Ratings partnered with Chainlink to bring on-chain stablecoin risk profiles. Meanwhile, blockchain security firm Hacken introduced Yield Audits, offering credit-risk ratings for stablecoins and DeFi yields.
Together, these efforts speculate an industry-wide of the mark pivot toward systemic transparency and institutionally grounded level analytics.
Responding to October’s $20B DeFi Liquidation
The launch of Credora comes in the wake of the October 10 market crash, which wiped out over $20 billion in leveraged crypto positions.
DeFi lender Stream Finance’s $93 million loss further highlighted the need for standardized risk assessments.
By introducing on-chain risk ratings, RedStone aims to help users detect potential vulnerabilities before large-scale liquidations occur. “Until now, DeFi participants relied on fragmented data or pure yield,” said Spark co-founder Sam MacPherson. “Credora brings clarity to yield and risk.”
