FORESHOCK

Every protocol here carries a dated score and the share of it backed by independently verified evidence. Where that share is still thin the assessment says so, is marked Low-signal rather than given a risk band, and holds every unevidenced category at the neutral midpoint instead of assuming it safe. Every score and its reasoning are free to read; the underlying dependency, incident and audit records are part of a plan. How a score is built, how to read one, and how the rubric was tested against real exploits are all in the methodology.

Coverage grows three ways: protocols Foreshock selects at its own discretion, protocols requested through the Request coverage button, and sponsored assessments delivered on an agreed timeline. No path has a guaranteed date except sponsorship.

Scores run from 0, the safest reading, to 100, the riskiest, where 50 is the neutral midpoint every unverified category is held at. Red marks a protocol scoring 50 or above, the band called Elevated: worse than neutral on the evidence gathered. Amber marks one below it, called Moderate. The boundary is fixed. It does not move as coverage grows, and it is not fitted to any backtest result.

Multi-chain: Hyperliquid L1, Arbitrum

:

  • Evidence: this reading is based on 100% of the scored weight, verified against named sources. Categories without verified data are excluded from the reading, never counted as safe.
  • Validation: measured against 6 comparable incidents/controls in this protocol's TVL, age and category bucket.
Score by categories
Audit profile12.0

2 audits on record, most recent audit is over 2 years old; the most recent audit found 1 High and 1 Medium severity issues. This reflects code quality at the time of that audit only, not a claim that these specific issues are still unresolved today.

Dependency risk7.5

Uses 2 oracles (The Hyperliquid bridge learns what happened on the Hyperliquid chain purely from signatures by more than two-thirds of that chain's validator stake, with a dispute window in which approved watchers can freeze the contract if the signatures disagree with their own view.).

Code characteristics7.5

Admin key: none, open source.

Governance attack surface5.0

Governance concentration/quorum data unknown.

TVL profile3.5

TVL change (12%) is within a stable range.

Historical incidents2.3

No known own or inherited incidents.

Team factors1.7

Doxxed team, track record: unknown.

Protocol age1.5

872 days live, past the ~1yr floor; treated the same as any older protocol, not scored progressively safer with more age.

Bug bounty1.0

Has a bug bounty program, up to $1 000 000.
