    Re7 Labs logo

    Re7 Labs

    Risk Curators · World Chain, Ethereum, Starknet +14

    Re7 Labs is a DeFi risk curator and adviser, not a general-purpose crypto app. It publishes a risk-rating framework, but fees, licensing and audit details are not clear.

    MEV Capital logo

    MEV Capital

    Risk Curators · Ethereum, Hyperliquid L1, Sui +9

    MEV Capital manages DeFi yield strategies and curates public vaults, but costs, access terms and independent audit details are hard to verify. Treat it as a specialist investment manager, not a simple savings app.

    Feather logo

    Feather

    Risk Curators · Sei, Celo, MegaETH +3

    Feather is classified as a risk-curated lending project, but there is not enough project-specific detail to judge its markets, costs or safety. Check its current documentation and contract addresses before connecting a wallet or supplying funds.
