How the ranking works
COINMAG builds an activity score from DefiLlama data by combining total value locked, 24‑hour volume and 24‑hour fees. The score is refreshed weekly from live data, so rankings can shift as usage patterns change. No qualitative factors are considered, only the numeric activity metrics.
What to check before staking
Review each platform’s official site for details on security measures, fee structures and any regional restrictions. Verify the service’s audit history and understand the staking rules that apply to your jurisdiction. Use the data as a starting point, but conduct your own due diligence.
