Risk Disclosure

1. Market Risk

ERG and other cryptocurrencies are highly volatile. Prices can drop 50%+ in a day or 90%+ over months. Past performance is not indicative of future results. You may lose all funds invested.

2. Custody Risk

You are responsible for securing your own wallet. There is no password recovery for self-custody wallets. If you lose your seed phrase, your funds are gone permanently. If a thief obtains your seed phrase, your funds will be stolen. Phishing sites impersonate real wallets — always verify URLs before connecting.

3. Smart Contract Risk

Smart contracts (DeFi protocols, dApps, bridges, NFT marketplaces) can have bugs. Even audited contracts have been exploited. Some Ergo ecosystem projects are unaudited or experimental. Read project documentation before depositing funds. Start with small amounts.

4. Mining Risk

Mining profitability is not guaranteed. It depends on:

• Network hashrate (the more miners, the lower your share)
• ERG market price
• Your local electricity costs
• Hardware costs and depreciation
• Pool fees and difficulty adjustments

Mining calculator results on this Site are estimates only, based on current network conditions. Real earnings will differ. You may operate at a loss.

5. Bridge Risk

Cross-chain bridges (such as Rosen Bridge) introduce additional trust assumptions and have historically been targets of major exploits across the industry. Bridge funds at your own risk.

6. Regulatory Risk

Cryptocurrency regulations vary by country and change frequently. Mining, holding, or trading ERG may have tax implications, reporting requirements, or be restricted in your jurisdiction. Consult a qualified tax and legal advisor in your country.

7. Protocol Risk

The Ergo protocol is open-source and maintained by community contributors. Like any software, it can have undiscovered bugs. Hard forks, soft forks, or major upgrades may affect existing tokens, contracts, or applications.

8. Experimental Projects

Some projects discussed on this Site (such as ChainCash, certain agent economy primitives, or research initiatives) are experimental prototypes. They are not production-ready and may have bugs, missing features, or undergo breaking changes. Treat them as research code unless explicitly marked as production / mainnet-released.
