ZARQ is independent credit ratings for crypto — Moody’s for the machine economy. We rate 200+ tokens on trust, crash probability, and structural risk using a quantitative model that combines on-chain data, market signals, and fundamental analysis. Every rating is hash-chained for auditability. When autonomous agents need to make financial decisions, ZARQ provides the risk intelligence they can’t get anywhere else.
Three complementary models, each independently validated:
| Trust Score | Moody’s-style Aaa–D ratings based on 5 pillars: Security, Compliance, Maintenance, Popularity, Ecosystem |
| Distance-to-Default | Structural distress detection adapted from Merton’s credit model. 100% recall on 113 token deaths |
| Vitality Score | Ecosystem health scoring: gravity, capital commitment, stress resilience, organic momentum |
| Vitality Rankings | Token ecosystem health scores |
| Daily Briefing | Consolidated risk overview |
| API Documentation | Full endpoint reference |
| Token Scanner | Scan any contract address |
| Methodology | How ratings are calculated |
| White Paper | ZARQ v1.0 white paper |
