To calculate the real bad - debt rate in DeFi projects, use public data. Divide the value of defaulted loans (from liquidation records) by the total value of outstanding loans (including collateral). Different DeFi sectors have different reasonable bad - debt rate ranges. For lending, it might be around 1 - 3% depending on collateral quality. Projects use measures like over - collateralization and risk reserves. Their effectiveness can be evaluated by comparing the actual bad - debt rate over time with the expected rate. A stable or decreasing bad - debt rate indicates effective measures.

Avoid quantity over quality by setting strict criteria: filter projects by team credibility, clear use cases, and active communities. Limit concurrent participation to 3-5 high-potential projects. Calculate expected ROI (reward vs. time/Gas costs) before engaging. Regularly prune low-quality projects—if a team delays updates or lacks progress, reallocate resources. Focus on depth (e.g., completing all tasks for 1 strong project) over breadth.
