#EvaluateAVS

Not all AVSs are worth securing. Some pay well. Some will slash you.

"*Evaluate AVS*" — your checklist before you opt-in:
1. *Team + Funding*: Anonymous devs? Skip. VC backed + public team = better
2. *Slashing rules*: Objective vs subjective. Know exactly what triggers penalties
3. *Traction*: Real users, fees generated, or just a testnet?
4. *Operator set*: Decentralized or 3 guys running it?
5. *Audits*: 2+ audits + bug bounty minimum in 2026

"*ROI comparison*" — 2026 numbers:
- *Traditional staking*: ∼3-4% APR. Low risk, ETH only
- *Restaking*: 3-4% + 2-8% from AVSs. Higher risk, higher yield
- *LRT + DeFi*: 3-4% + 2-8% + 3-10% DeFi. Highest risk, highest yield
Pick your risk tolerance.

"*AVS health*" — metrics to watch:
- *Total secured value*: Too low = not enough security
- *Slashing events*: Any history? Red flag
- *Fee revenue*: Is the AVS actually making money?
- *Operator diversity*: >20 operators = safer

You’re underwriting these protocols with your ETH. Do the homework.
