# Bluechip > The standard for stablecoin safety Bluechip is an independent stablecoin rating agency. It evaluates stablecoins using economic theory and history to help users identify safer options through letter-grade ratings. Bluechip is an independent stablecoin rating agency that evaluates cryptocurrencies designed to hold their value over time. It assigns letter-grade ratings to help savers, everyday users, and treasury managers understand which stablecoins are more likely to remain reliable. The agency positions itself as a neutral source of analysis in a market where stablecoin failures have caused significant losses for holders. The ratings are built on a structured framework that applies lessons from economic theory and financial history to assess six categories covering reserve quality, management competence, technical implementation, decentralization of control, governance safeguards, and external market signals. Each stablecoin is scored across these categories and assigned an overall grade ranging from top marks to failing grades. Ratings are updated as new data and judgments about each stablecoin evolve. Users can browse ratings, compare stablecoins side by side, and access deeper analysis through a subscription tier aimed at more active researchers and treasury managers. Bluechip also publishes news and commentary on stablecoin safety topics and hosts an annual conference bringing together developers, investors, auditors, regulators, and founders to discuss crypto safety. It serves individual holders, institutions managing stablecoin treasuries, and stablecoin issuers seeking independent evaluation. - Type: Company - Sector: Data & Analytics - Status: Active - Founded: 2022-01-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/bluechip ## Products - [Bluechip Ratings Platform](https://thegrid.id/profiles/bluechip): Bluechip Ratings Platform is a stablecoin risk assessment service that provides ratings, detailed reports, comparison tools, a ratings archive, and scoring guidelines to help users evaluate stablecoin safety.
