Why we stopped labelling products “low risk”

A green “Low risk” badge reads as a safety guarantee. A stablecoin peg is not one. Here is what replaced it.

We used to put a green “Low risk” badge on stablecoin earn products. That label was wrong — more precisely, it implied far more certainty than we can stand behind.

A dollar peg speaks to one thing: price volatility. It says nothing about custody risk, where your assets sit with the platform and you do not hold the keys. Nothing about counterparty risk, where rewards depend on us and on everyone we route assets to meeting their obligations. Nothing about smart-contract or liquidity risk either.

So each product now shows “Risk n / 5”, and opening it lists five distinct risk factors with a note on which apply. Stablecoin flexible sits at 2/5, fixed terms at 3/5, on-chain staking at 4/5.

To be clear about what that score is: VEYRA's own assessment of relative exposure, not a rating from any agency, and not a prediction. Even 1/5 would not mean safe. No product on this platform protects capital.
