Coingape reviews DeFi platforms to help readers understand how they actually work when real money is involved.
On the surface, many DeFi products look similar. High yields, open access, and no intermediaries are often highlighted. But the real differences usually appear later, once users start lending, swapping, or staking. Things like smart contract risk, liquidity, liquidation rules, and platform behaviour during volatile markets matter far more than headline numbers.
This page explains how we evaluate and rank DeFi platforms across our comparison guides and individual reviews.This methodology follows Coingape’s editorial standards, which outline how content is researched, reviewed, and updated across the site.
