Overview

The Skynet Score is a comprehensive rating system that evaluates the overall profile of Web3 projects by analyzing key on-chain and off-chain indicators across six categories: Code Security, Fundamental Health, Operational Resilience, Governance Strength, Market Stability, and Community Trust. This holistic approach provides an objective, at-a-glance assessment of a project's strengths and vulnerabilities, enabling users to understand its up-to-date running stage, in-depth professional evaluation, and risk landscape.

Code Security

• Audit History
  CertiK aggregates public audit reports across reputable firms and assigns weightings based on the auditor's credibility, audit frequency, and coverage.
• Audit Analysis
  Findings are parsed into structured data to evaluate severity, remediation efforts, and formal verification coverage.
• Audit Coverage
  Measures the proportion of deployed code that has been audited, using SLOC and similarity mapping techniques.
• Audit Freshness
  Tracks whether security reviews are current with recent code changes.
• Token Scan
  CertiK’s Token Scan analyzes on-chain behavior of a project’s primary token for signs of privilege misuse, mint/burn risk, and other red flags.
• GitHub Monitoring
  Evaluates code health and activity using GitHub metrics like commits, forks, contributors, and issue resolution.

Fundamental Health

• Quality Assessment
  Checks for complete and accurate public documentation across web, whitepaper, GitHub, and crypto platforms.
• Team Identity & Verification
  Uses OSINT and third-party verifications to assess team transparency and credibility.
• Funding Profile
  Rates based on raised capital, funding rounds, and investor reputation.

Operational Resilience

• Project Maturity
  Considers the longevity of a project across blockchain, social, and repo creation timelines.
• Exchange Operation
  Evaluates listings, CEX/DEX presence, and liquidity depth.
• Website Scan
  Assesses website security including SSL and vulnerability scan results.
• Incident History
  Evaluates previous hacks or breaches and how the team responded to mitigate them.
• Bug Bounty Program
  Monitors whether the project runs an active bounty and its overall scope and rewards structure.

Governance

• Token Activity
  Looks at address activity and transactional liveness on-chain.
• Holder Distribution
  Checks token decentralization and concentration across wallets with additional wallet attribution.
• Centralization Risk
  Flags contracts with admin controls, pause features, mint permissions, or backdoors.
• Governance Proposal
  Measures DAO participation through proposal activity, approval rates, and voter diversity.

Market

• Market Capitalization
  Assesses token value, exchange coverage, and volatility resistance.
• Trading Volume
  Analyzes 24h/7d/30d volume and consistency across exchanges to gauge liquidity strength.
• dApp Usage
  Monitors utility through on-chain dApp interactions, active wallets, and value locked (TVL).

Community

• Community Userbase
  Tracks social followership and recent growth across major platforms.
• Community Activity
  Assesses frequency of updates, milestone sharing, and responsiveness.
• Community Sentiment
  Uses media and internal voting data to analyze tone and confidence around a project.
• Community Engagement
  Evaluates user interaction levels across the CertiK platform — including votes, ratings, and discussions.

Summary

The Skynet Score aggregates weighted metrics across all categories into a unified rating system, enabling data-backed project evaluation for users, platforms, and institutions.
