Risk Disclosure

Last Updated: February 2, 2026

Important Warning

Virtual asset trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. You may lose some or all of your invested capital. Only trade with funds you can afford to lose completely.

1. Virtual Asset Risks

1.1 Price Volatility

Cryptocurrency prices are highly volatile and can fluctuate significantly within short periods. Prices may change between when you initiate a swap and when it completes. Historical performance is not indicative of future results.

1.2 Total Loss of Value

The value of any cryptocurrency may decline to zero. There is no guarantee that any virtual asset will maintain its value or have any value at all.

1.3 Irreversible Transactions

Blockchain transactions are final and cannot be reversed. If you send funds to an incorrect address, those funds may be permanently lost with no possibility of recovery.

1.4 No Deposit Insurance

Virtual assets are not legal tender and are not backed by any government. They are not covered by deposit insurance schemes that protect traditional bank accounts.

2. Service-Specific Risks

2.1 Third-Party Execution

Swaps are executed through third-party service providers. These providers may:

  • Experience technical failures or delays
  • Become unavailable without notice
  • Pause or hold transactions for compliance review
  • Fail to complete transactions for various reasons
  • Become insolvent, resulting in loss of funds

2.2 Pricing and Slippage

The actual exchange rate you receive may differ from quoted rates due to:

  • Market price movements during transaction processing
  • Liquidity conditions across different markets
  • Network fees and transaction costs
  • Slippage in swap execution

2.3 Compliance Holds

Third-party execution partners may pause, hold, or refuse transactions as part of their compliance procedures. This may result in delays or inability to complete your swap.

3. Technical Risks

3.1 Smart Contract Risks

Cryptocurrency transactions may involve smart contracts that could contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or be subject to exploits. This could result in loss of funds.

3.2 Network Risks

Blockchain networks may experience:

  • Congestion resulting in delayed or failed transactions
  • Fork events that affect transaction validity
  • High gas/network fees during periods of high demand
  • Protocol changes that affect functionality

3.3 Wallet Security

You are solely responsible for the security of your wallet and private keys. Loss of private keys or compromise of your wallet may result in permanent loss of your assets.

4. Regulatory Risks

4.1 Changing Regulations

Cryptocurrency regulation is evolving rapidly. New laws or regulations may:

  • Affect the legality of cryptocurrency transactions in your jurisdiction
  • Impose new reporting or tax obligations
  • Restrict access to services
  • Affect the value or transferability of virtual assets

4.2 User Responsibility

You are solely responsible for determining whether your use of this service complies with applicable laws in your jurisdiction. Tax treatment of cryptocurrency transactions varies by jurisdiction, and you should consult with a tax professional.

  • Recommend any particular cryptocurrency or trading strategy
  • Guarantee any particular outcome or return
