Aries Markets

Aries Markets receives a B- risk grade (35/100) from Hindenrank, where lower scores indicate lower risk. Moderate risk — standard lending design on Aptos with clean track record, but aggressive LTV parameters and flagged oracle issues warrant caution A lending protocol on Aptos where you deposit crypto to earn interest or borrow against your holdings. It holds $12M in deposits with standard lending mechanisms. Its B- grade reflects clean operation and standard design, offset by aggressive 90% LTV in e-mode and an oracle vulnerability flagged by security auditors.

The key risks identified for Aries Markets are: (1) The efficiency mode allows borrowing up to 90% of your collateral value. A 10% price drop can trigger liquidation, leaving very little safety margin. (2) Security auditors flagged a critical oracle pricing issue. Price manipulation on low-liquidity Aptos tokens could lead to incorrect liquidations. (3) All deposits are concentrated in Aptos assets. If APT crashes, every market gets hit at the same time.
