Let's talk about the safety of DeFi

Aside from the inherent risk of DAI decoupling from USD, what are the other risks - no matter how likely, involved with locking your money in DSR?By platform:1) Oasis.app2) Compound.finance3) dydx4) DeFi SaverFor example, is there a risk using DeFi Saver to lock DAI into DSR or to deposit it to dydx/compound, rather than doing it directly on Oasis/Compound/dydx respoectively?Also, is there a risk between strictly using the DSR via Oasis, or using compound and dydx to maximize savings?The reason I'm asking is: dydx (and at times compound too) seem to have way bigger deposit interest than DSR itself, and the rule was always - the higher the interest, the riskier it is - but does it apply in this case?!Does anyone have more info on these, or a write-up of how they stack against each other in terms of security?I feel DAI went through a major test and survived, so feeling a lot more confident into putting way more in DeFI - but I'd love to do with:a) 100% secure (i.e non-custodial only, so no Nexo or BlockFi)b) As secure as it gets from a platform riskMy main concern is: they all harp about how decentralized they are, but ultimately Compound gives you a shitcoin cDAI for your DAI and DeFi Saver... god knows what it does. So my worry is they do it in a way that even if DSR goes well, you lose your money because you didn't lock your DAI straight into the DSR, and put instead of dydx or compound.Please shed some light on the machinations of these things.
