Our Focus

The EEA DeFi Risk Assessment, Management and Accounting group was formed to address the lack of appropriate, widely-accepted frameworks for identifying and understanding risks associated with DeFi protocols, and the resulting lack of common assessment and accounting criteria for DeFi Assets.

The Working Group developed the EEA DeFi Risk Assessment Guidelines describing the various risks in greater detail, strategies that can help mitigate those risks, and important factors to review to ensure that an investment is being managed appropriately.

Risk Rank Survey

The Working Group invites DeFi investors and developers to complete a short survey, providing some basic statistical information about the responders, and ranking the importance of a dozen potential risk factors described in the survey. The information informs the group's work on identifying risk factors, and responses will only be released in anonymised form if at all.

If you are interested in talking through the survey with a Working Group member, providing more detailed feedback that can be used to improve our understanding, please Contact Us.
