Is Silo Finance Safe?
Risk Grade: B- (29/100)
Silo Finance is rated as moderate risk — some novel mechanisms, generally well-understood.
Lower risk — isolation design genuinely limits contagion, but permissionless market creation opens the door to oracle manipulation attacks
A lending protocol where each token gets its own isolated market, so a hack in one market cannot spread to others. It holds $400M in deposits with $32M in funding. Its B grade reflects solid risk isolation design, offset by the fact that anyone can create new markets for risky tokens.

Key Risks for Silo Finance Users
Anyone can create a new lending market for any token. Markets for obscure, low-liquidity tokens are easy targets for price manipulation attacks that drain deposited funds
The V2 upgrade lets third-party developers attach custom code to lending markets. A bug in that custom code could let an attacker bypass the isolation protections within a single market
All markets share a common base asset like ETH or USDC. If that shared asset crashes or loses its peg, every market on the platform feels the pain at the same time
Top Risk Factors
- •Risk isolation depends on correct oracle pricing per silo; a faulty oracle in one market can still drain that silo's liquidity
- •Permissionless market creation allows siloed markets for low-liquidity tokens vulnerable to price manipulation
- •V2 hook system introduces extensibility risk from untested third-party logic attached to lending markets
