July 14, 2025 – Montreal, Canada – VaaSBlock is proud to announce that DeFiSafety has officially earned the RMA™ (Risk Management Assessment) badge, the leading mark of credibility and transparency in the Web3 ecosystem. This achievement underscores DeFi Safety’s position as a trusted auditor of protocol risk, and reinforces its leadership in setting accountability standards across decentralized finance.
Founded to bring clarity and rigorous review to the fast-moving Decentralised Finance space, DeFiSafety has built a reputation as one of the industry’s most consistent and data-driven audit scoring providers. Their platform publishes in-depth, methodology-based technical assessments of DeFi protocols, focused on process quality, documentation transparency, and smart contract reliability. This RMA™ certification confirms that DeFiSafety applies the same level of scrutiny to its internal operations as it does to the protocols it evaluates.
“We’ve always believed that transparency should begin at home,” said Rex Hygate, Founder and President of DeFiSafety. “Achieving the RMA™ badge is a testament to the rigorous standards we’ve applied not just to our clients, but to ourselves. It reflects our belief that the future of DeFi depends on accountability, verifiability, and open methodologies, and we’re proud to be part of the ecosystem that VaaSBlock is building.”
The RMA™ (Risk Management Assessment) is VaaSBlock’s flagship certification. It evaluates companies across six core areas: Corporate Governance, Revenue Model, Planning & Transparency, Results Delivered, Team Proficiency, and Technology & Security. Each RMA™ badge is tokenized for immutable on-chain verification, complete with a unique digital token and QR code. The certification process includes document audits, team interviews, and a multi-layered operational review, resulting in a trusted, publicly verifiable score.
“DeFiSafety’s commitment to open-source, methodical, and peer-verifiable scoring has helped shape risk culture in DeFi,” said Raph Rocher, Co-founder of VaaSBlock. “What impressed us was not just the quality of their external evaluations, but the transparency and integrity of their own internal workflows. We’re excited to welcome them to the RMA™ network and to help amplify the value they bring to the ecosystem.”
DeFiSafety has reviewed hundreds of high-profile protocols since its inception, becoming a reference for builders, investors, and auditors looking to benchmark project quality. With its RMA™ badge, DeFiSafety now extends its commitment to transparency to every aspect of its own operations, raising the bar for what credibility should look like in Web3.
