Meteora

Meteora receives a C+ risk grade (37/100) from Hindenrank, where lower scores indicate lower risk. Moderate risk — strong trading product undermined by leadership scandal, active lawsuit, and concentrated liquidity losses during volatility One of Solana's largest decentralized exchanges, known for its concentrated liquidity pools and memecoin launch platform. It holds $800M in deposits. Its C grade reflects a co-founder resignation over a memecoin scandal, a $69M class-action lawsuit, and the amplified losses that concentrated liquidity creates during sudden price swings.

The key risks identified for Meteora are: (1) The co-founder resigned after a memecoin scandal and a $69M lawsuit alleges market manipulation. Leadership vacuum and legal costs could drain the protocol's $750M-$1.6B treasury. (2) Concentrated liquidity means your deposits are focused in narrow price ranges. If the price moves sharply, you can lose 50-90% of your position, far worse than a standard exchange. (3) The MET token has not launched yet. The ongoing lawsuit and leadership crisis could delay it indefinitely or change the terms, disappointing users who provided liquidity expecting token rewards.
