About DeFiScan
Our Mission
DeFiScan is dedicated to increasing transparency and trust in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. We provide comprehensive analysis and ratings of DeFi protocols, helping users make informed decisions about their participation in various protocols.
Our goal is to evaluate and track the decentralization progress of DeFi protocols across multiple dimensions, including governance, autonomy, accessibility, and operational decentralization. By providing clear, objective assessments, we aim to promote higher standards and better practices across the entire DeFi space. Read more about our framework here.

Funding
To maximize neutrality and accuracy of the reporting, DeFiscan is not a business. DeFiScan is a public good, provided entirely for free under an open-source license. Yet, reviewing protocols requires time and expertise; several sources of funding are harnessed to enable the existence of DeFiScan under the current model:
Grants
Various organizations in the DeFi ecosystem support DeFiScan with grants, such as the Ethereum Foundation. This funding enables us to maintain our independence and continue providing unbiased analysis of DeFi protocols.
Donations
Entities and individuals can donate to the DeFi Collective / DeFiScan to support the mission. Donations are accepted on grants.deficollective.eth. DeFiScan is also represented on several crowd-sourced donation platforms:
DeFiCollective
Finally, the DeFi Collective covers the remaining operating expenses incurred for DeFiScan. The DeFi Collective is a non-profit organization using its own treasury assets to fund its operations and fulfill its mission. To maximize transparency, monthly reports are published.
