Xerberus is an investor-funded DeFi risk-rating protocol that rates assets, protocols, and the organizations behind them using dedicated risk templates for each class. Xerberus's Twitter Score is 23 out of 1000 as of July 2026, ranking #48,034 (top 10%) among 531,432 tracked accounts.
Xerberus was co-founded by Simon Peters, Noach Detwiler, and Matthias Guilbert, and is registered as a DAO under Xerberus DAO LLC in the Marshall Islands. The protocol positions itself as independent by design, stating it never accepts payment from asset issuers or DeFi protocols for ratings, with revenue instead tied to services for capital allocators. Its framework covers three distinct rating classes: individual assets, the protocols that hold them, and the organizations that govern those protocols.
Xerberus is backed by Project Catalyst, though a Fund 11 Nodes project funded through that program was marked as incomplete, with 3 of 6 milestones finished, 585,000 ADA distributed, and 165,000 ADA remaining from the 750,000 ADA allocation. The protocol's $XER token was presented as the token securing a risk-and-asset-management blockchain designed as a Cardano partner chain. Its initial DEX offering, conducted via Minswap, was completed with 1,433 participants, 3.4 million ADA raised, and 301.25 million XER distributed.
Xerberus has also published on-chain investigative research, including work on the failed Cardano stablecoin project Ardana; per Cointelegraph, co-founders identified the Ethereum wallet used to collect funds from Ardana's DANA ICO. Xerberus is affiliated with Metera Protocol, IPOR Fusion, Intersect, and Sundae Labs. The account has published 11,942 posts and has been mentioned by 39 accounts across 106 total mentions.
