Volume Continuity Score

Score

The volume continuity score aims to estimate the likelihood of volume continuity given the exchange transactions over a pool. The importance of this estimation is that moving funds frequently is suboptimal. In addition, a pool has a preferable ROI today does not necessarily mean it will be preferable 2 weeks later. Hence, given the mean and median volume, the number of unique wallets performing exchanges, and the total number of transactions, we estimate this score for each pool and the protocol itself.

Security

In protocols that employ upgradable smart contracts, users typically interact with a proxy contract as an intermediary instead of directly with the underlying smart contract. This proxy contract facilitates smooth updates and modifications to the smart contract's code. These changes are executed through the proxy and are subject to the protocol's governance or upgrade mechanism. Therefore, users must understand the governance model to ensure the security and reliability of their interactions with the contract. This combination provides a comprehensive understanding of upgradable smart contracts and their usage.
