Overview
What this challenge is about.
You are tasked with producing a risk assessment report for the fund's investment committee. Analyze the protocol's smart contract audits (e.g., from Trail of Bits or OpenZeppelin), assess liquidity pool depth and historical impermanent loss, and evaluate regulatory risks in the EU and US. Success means delivering a clear go/no-go recommendation with a maximum allocation percentage and risk mitigation measures. Constraints: use only publicly available data; assume a 2-week timeline.
