Weekly Commentary

Pro

Week of March 3, 2026

Wildcat sits squarely in no-man's land — a C risk grade and C- value score mean you're taking mid-tier protocol risk without a compelling value proposition to justify it. At $13M TVL, it's a small lending market with limited liquidity depth, which amplifies the risk profile beyond what the letter grade alone suggests. There are safer lending plays with better token economics higher up the leaderboard.
