The Expensive Model That Did Not Beat Size
We split DeFi failure risk into four mechanism families and fit hazard and severity models under a pre-registered standard, trying to beat a one-variable champion, protocol size. Mostly we lost, and the loss is the result. What passed reshapes expected loss: when protocols fail, the loss grows far more slowly than the protocol. This is the lab report, with the same-day adversarial corrections attached.
The Recursion Map, Concentration Is the Input, Not the Risk
On-chain credit is concentrated, and everyone can see it. We measure what sits underneath. What is vault collateral actually made of once each layer is unwrapped, and do the loans flagged as liquidatable actually get closed out? About a quarter of traced backing turns out to be wrapped, staked or synthetic, and some flagged debt can never clear at all. Every figure is stamped to an endpoint, snapshot, and formula.
