Zone21 Risk Model Explained

Imagine you could peek under the hood of every Bitcoin-backed loan and instantly know how risky it is. That's the goal of our Risk Model. It's a comprehensive scoring system, built by Bitcoiners, for Bitcoiners, that helps you understand the behind-the-scenes risks of Bitcoin-backed lending products.

Our model analyzes 13 distinct risk factors, from the security of the custodied Bitcoin to the transparency of the lender's operations. Each factor is scored, weighted, and then combined to generate a single, easy-to-understand risk score for every loan product.
