Brief

Pick 5 Solana DeFi protocols across categories (DEX, lending, perp, LST, aggregator) and write a one-page architecture brief on each. Then identify the composition pattern: which protocols call which other programs?

Deliverables

5 one-page protocol briefs (architecture, oracle source, tokens, audit history).
Composition diagram: arrows from each protocol to the standard stack pieces it uses.
One paragraph per protocol: what is the protocol's actual moat?
Top three risks across the 5 protocols, ranked.

How we grade it

Each brief identifies the specific program address and IDL source.
Composition diagram is accurate — verified via on-chain account inspection.
Moat analysis goes beyond TVL — addresses tech, distribution, or licensing.
Risk analysis cites specific attack vectors with on-chain evidence (history of incidents).
