Risk Disclosures

1Inch Network (1INCH)

The 1inch Network unites decentralized protocols whose synergy enables the most lucrative, fastest, and protected operations in the DeFi space. The 1inch Network's first protocol is a decentralized exchange aggregator solution that searches deals across multiple liquidity sources, offering users better rates than any individual exchange. The 1INCH token is the governance and utility token of the 1inch Network. 1INCH holders can stake their tokens to participate in the 1inch Network's DAO governance, including the 1inch DAO Treasury management. 1INCH token’s performance is dependent on the 1INCH Network project’s performance and also to the performance of 1Inch Defi protocol. 1INCH token is also exposed to the security risk, governance risk and market risk.

Aave (AAVE)

Aave is a decentralized non-custodial liquidity market protocol where users can participate as depositors or borrowers. Depositors provide liquidity to the market to earn a passive income, while borrowers are able to borrow in an over-collateralized (perpetually) or under-collateralized (one-block liquidity) fashion. Aave Protocol has been audited and secured. The protocol is completely open source, which allows anyone to interact with it using a user interface client, API or directly with the smart contracts on the Ethereum network. Being open source means that you are able to build any third-party service or application to interact with the protocol and enrich your product. Within DeFi, borrowing protocols have security risk, governance risk, oracle risk and market risk.

Algorand (ALGO)

Algorand launched in 2019 and is a layer 1 smart contract platform that features an open-source, permissionless, Pure-Proof-of-Stake (PPoS) blockchain protocol. The Algorand network is powered by its own native currency, ALGO. Through the allocation of ALGO, users can facilitate peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions, power on-chain decentralized applications (dApps), or simply stake ALGO. The Algorand network is run by c.140 permissioned relay nodes controlled by the Algorand Foundation that also were given preferential early investing rounds and predetermined future token allocations. Furthermore, Algorand suffers from extremely concentrated token distribution in which >60% of the token supply is controlled by founders and private insiders.

ApeCoin (APE)

ApeCoin (APE) is an ERC-20 governance and utility token used within the APE Ecosystem to empower and incentivise a decentralized community building at the forefront of Web3. ApeCoin holders govern themselves via the decentralized governance framework controlling the ApeCoin DAO, and have the right to vote on how the holdings of ApeCoin DAO Ecosystem Fund should be used. The performance of ApeCoin is intricately tied to the APE ecosystem and the prospective demand for NFTs linked to the APE ecosystem. Additionally, ApeCoin is exposed to inherent risks associated with being an ERC-20 token. Consequently, any bugs or issues arising within the Ethereum network may have a direct impact on the performance and stability of ApeCoin.

Axie Infinity (AXS)

Axie Infinity is a digital game that fuses NFT collectibles and blockchain. The game allows users to discover, collect, combine, and battle fantasy creatures called Axies. AXS is the governance token for the Axie Infinity game. AXS holders are able to stake their tokens to earn more AXS and even vote for governance proposals. As a game token, the future demand and consequently the price of AXS are intricately tied to the game's market share, particularly within the competitive play-to-earn gaming space. The evolving landscape of play-to-earn gaming introduces heightened competition, influencing the project's position and potential market share. Notably, on March 23, 2022, an incident occurred, resulting in the unauthorized extraction of $620 million from the blockchain network linked to Axie Infinity, highlighting the susceptibility to security breaches within the ecosystem.

Basic Attention Token (BAT)

Basic Attention Token, or BAT, is the unit of reward in a newly created advertising ecosystem, and is exchanged between advertisers, publishers and users. BAT is an ERC-20 token. As such, it is built on the Ethereum blockchain. Advertisers pay for their advertising campaigns in BAT tokens. Out of this budget, a small portion is distributed to advertisers, while 70% is distributed to users, whereas the intermediaries that typically drive up advertising costs are cut out of the equation to improve cost-efficiency. By acquiring, holding and using BAT, the participant expressly acknowledges and assumes the risk of mining attacks (Ethereum base chain) and risk arising from lack of governance rights and taxation.

Band Protocol

(BAND)

Band Protocol is a cross-chain data oracle platform that is able to take real-world data and supply it to on-chain applications, while also connecting application program interfaces (APIs) to smart contracts to facilitate the exchange of information between on-chain and off-chain data sources. BAND is the native token of the Band Protocol ecosystem and is used as collateral by validators involved in fulfilling data requests, as well as the main medium of exchange on BandChain, being used to pay for private data. BAND was originally released as an ERC20 token in 2019, but later moved to the Cosmos ecosystem utilizing the Cosmos software development kit (SDK) to create BandChain. Nonetheless Band still exists as an ERC20 token as well, meaning it shares the consensus mechanism and thus security with the broader Ethereum chain. The same sentiment holds true for the Cosmos-based asset. While generally considered secure, Cosmos is a less mature product than Ethereum and shares similar attack vectors via its smart contract logic, a common exploitation point. It is important to note that many exchanges still only support the ERC20 version of BAND.

Bitcoin (BTC)

Bitcoin is the most popular Virtual Asset and is often compared to well established assets like gold. However, the utility and use case for Bitcoin is yet to be fully defined or established. Bitcoin is based on the Proof of Work (PoW) consensus mechanism. Hence, the security of the blockchain is dependent on the current hash rate. PoW Virtual Assets are susceptible to ‘51% attacks’, which are possible when a bad actor controls a majority of the network’s hash power. PoW consensus mechanism is also considered a high energy consumption method and is currently under review and debated by the industry because of its impact on the environment.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH)

In 2017, the Bitcoin community had a split view over the issue of scalability of blockchain networks and rising transaction costs. This split resulted in a hard fork of Bitcoin, and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) came into existence. Though Bitcoin Cash transactions are faster and more economical compared to Bitcoin, there are other Virtual Assets that are faster and more economical compared to Bitcoin Cash. The success of Bitcoin Cash is dependent on the loyal followers and holders of BCH who initially converted their BTC to BCH and continue to hold it. Numerous vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Bitcoin Cash codebase, including a “critical vulnerability” discovered by a Bitcoin developer and a fork leaving transactions possibly exposed to exploitation for a short time. Also, the threat of a 51% attack against BCH remains ever-present considering it is a highly contentious project with a fork of its own.

Chainlink (LINK)

Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that connects smart contracts to other blockchains, off-chain data and computational capacity. Subject to the scale of decentralization, Chainlink might be exposed to data manipulation risk, meaning that on-chain data can be manipulated in a way to facilitate hacks and exploits. The LINK token distribution is also centralized in that 30% of the total supply was allocated to Chainlink’s parent company, SmartContract, and 35% allocated for node operator incentives, with no formal governance structure to decide how the incentives will be distributed. Furthermore, LINK is subject to some inherited risk as it runs atop Ethereum as an ERC-677 token, so any bugs or issues with Ethereum may also impact LINK.

Chiliz (CHZ)

Chiliz offers blockchain infrastructure for sports teams to build an engagement platform where fans are able to purchase branded fan tokens. Chiliz uses its native token, CHZ, as the main utility token for this infrastructure.  The Chiliz infrastructure also allows teams to mint 

NFTs with unique perks such as VIP rewards, exclusive promotions, augmented reality enabled features, chat forums and much more. By acquiring, holding and using Chiliz, the participant expressly acknowledges and assumes the risk of mining attacks and risk arising from lack of governance rights and taxation.

Compound (COMP)

Compound is a software running on Ethereum which aims to incentivize a distributed network of computers to operate a traditional money market. Compound connects lenders and borrowers using a combination of smart contracts running on Ethereum and incentives paid in Virtual Assets. Similar to all Virtual Assets, Compound is subject to market risk and volatility, and a reduced speed of the transactions if there are a high number of transactions.

Curve DAO Token (CRV)

Curve DAO Token (CRV) is an Ethereum token that powers Curve.fi, a decentralized exchange and automated market maker protocol. Its purpose is to function as a governance medium, incentive structure and fee payment method, along with a long-term earnings method for liquidity providers. Curve (CRV) has gained considerable attention by following its remit as an automated market maker specifically for stablecoin trading. Curve caters to anyone involved in DeFi activities such as yield farming and liquidity mining, as well as those looking to maximize returns without risk by holding notionally non-volatile stablecoins. Similar to all virtual assets, CRV is subject to market risk and its volatility, also the speed of the transactions can decrease if there is a high number of transactions.

Decentraland (MANA)

Decentraland is a virtual reality platform built on the Ethereum blockchain for users to create, experience, and monetize their content and applications. The security of Decentraland relies on the underlying blockchain, Ethereum’s current PoS consensus mechanism. One of the major utilities of MANA tokens is the purchase of in-world non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and services. There are some concerns over the sudden popularity of selling and trading NFTs. Some have noted that the interest surrounding NFTs may create an economic bubble that will eventually collapse due to market hype, speculation, herding tendency, and overvaluation of digital NFT assets.

Dogecoin (DOGE)

Dogecoin was built using the PoW hashing algorithm Scrypt (based on Litecoin), which is largely performed by GPU cards. Dogecoin has been used primarily as a tipping system on Reddit and Twitter (now X) to reward the creation or sharing of quality content. You can get tipped Dogecoin by participating in a community that uses the digital currency, or you can get your Dogecoin from a Dogecoin faucet. Dogecoin can be subject to significant volatility. Such volatility and, more generally, the price of DOGE have recently been heavily influenced by communications (e.g. tweets) from well-known persons such as Elon Musk.

Enjin Coin (ENJ)

Enjin is a software that allows developers to create and manage virtual goods on the Ethereum network. Enjin aims to reduce the transaction fees and fraud associated with the transfer of virtual in-game goods and collectibles by utilizing blockchain technology across many different properties.

ENJ is an Ethereum-based Virtual Asset used to directly back the value of blockchain assets such as NFTs. Notably, asset owners can also use Enjin’s unique NFT “melt” functionality to destroy Enjin NFTs, unlocking any assets held within. Similar to all Virtual Assets, it is subject to market risk and market volatility. Also the speed of the transactions can decrease if there is a high number of transactions.

Ethereum (ETH)

Launched in 2013, Ethereum originally used the PoW mechanism. As of September 2022, the Merge was completed, which involved the joining of the original execution layer of Ethereum with its new proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus layer, the Beacon Chain. It eliminated the need for energy-intensive mining and instead enabled the network to be secured using staked ETH. The PoS mechanism is expected to be cheaper, more environmentally friendly and secure and better for implementing new scaling solutions compared to the previous PoW model. The project is still incomplete and is currently in the midst of a multi-year upgrade that comes with substantial risk. For example, unlike PoW systems, a PoS system informs node validators in advance what blocks they will validate, therefore potentially enabling them to plan attacks. The migration of ETH 1.0 to ETH 2.0 is the biggest project overhaul the Virtual Asset industry has seen. The magnitude of the project, both in scope and fiat currency, means there may be further unidentified risks. There will be the usual technical risks associated with the code, however the much less predictable risks relating to the actions of human interaction with the new chain, whilst the old chain still exists, may be greater.

Gala (GALA)

Gala is a web3 ecosystem powered by its own layer-1 blockchain, GalaChain, designed to support various entertainment ventures within the Gala ecosystem, initially comprising Gala Games, Gala Music, and Gala Film. The ecosystem’s native token, GALA, functions as both a utility and gas token for facilitating transactions on the blockchain. As with other virtual assets, GALA may encounter legal and regulatory challenges, particularly in light of Gala’s ambitious long-term expansion plans. Additionally, the project faces significant competition from other platforms, such as Immutable and Axie Infinity, which aim to achieve similar goals in the web3 space.

Immutable (IMX)

Immutable is a layer-two solution built on Ethereum, designed to overcome the network's inherent limitations, such as low scalability, poor user experience, illiquidity, and a slow developer environment. Immutable X stands out as one of the first layer-two solutions to employ zk-rollups while focusing exclusively on NFTs. While the importance of layer-two solutions is undeniable, their success remains closely tied to the persistence of Ethereum’s limitations. Additionally, Immutable faces increasing competition from a growing number of similar projects within the blockchain space.

Lido (LDO)

Lido is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that offers staking infrastructure across multiple blockchains, with a particular focus on providing liquid staking for Ethereum. The platform’s native token, LDO, also functions as the governance token for Lido DAO. However, there are inherent risks associated with the Lido Protocol, such as potential smart contract vulnerabilities or bugs. Additionally, the amount of ETH staked through Lido has raised concerns within the blockchain community, particularly regarding centralization and security. These vulnerabilities, alongside the general risks faced by virtual assets, could potentially affect the future price of LDO.

Litecoin (LTC)

Litecoin is a fork of Bitcoin created in 2011, by well-known computer scientist Charlie Lee, to address some of the shortcomings of Bitcoin. Litecoin has been likened to “digital silver,” as opposed to Bitcoin’s status as “digital gold”.  Like Bitcoin, Litecoin is based on PoW consensus mechanism. Hence, the security of the blockchain is dependent on the current hash rate. PoW Virtual Assets are susceptible to ‘51% attacks’, which are possible when a bad actor controls a majority of the network’s hash power. Despite widespread community adoption and solid fundamentals, opinions on Charlie Lee are mixed, with a fair amount of negative sentiment surrounding the fact that Charlie Lee had largely rolled his Litecoin holdings into Bitcoin. Litecoin is a faster and cheaper option to send value compared to Bitcoin; therefore if, over time, Bitcoin successfully solves or improves its scaling issues (e.g., Lightning Network), Litecoin’s value proposition as a faster and cheaper alternative may be called into question. Some community members have also criticized the project due to its stagnant or minimal upgrades. Users should also be mindful about Litecoin’s MimbleWimble Extension Block (MWEB) functionality that allows users to conceal the transaction data and make the transaction private. Rain doesn’t support this functionality or any transaction that utilizes this functionality. 

Loopring

(LRC)

LRC is the governance token for Loopring. Loopring is a Decentralized Exchange (DEX) built on an Ethereum Layer-2 (L2) solution called zkRollup. Loopring’s purported goal is to combine centralized order matching with decentralized on-blockchain order settlement into a hybridized product that will take the best aspects of both centralized and decentralized exchanges. The project is trying to solve the problem of both centralized and decentralized exchanges which makes it unique and at the same time exposed to the risks associated with a new concept or a new product. LRC’s price is directly linked to the success/failure and performance of the Loopring project. Similar to other Virtual Assets, LRC is also exposed to the market risk and volatility risk. 

Ripple (XRP)

Ripple Labs, creators of the XRP token, have been involved in a prolific and highly public countersuit against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), following a December 2020 suit that claimed the organization and two of its executives traded $1.3 Billion XRP as a security without first registering it with the SEC. The SEC based these claims on the utilization of XRP as a financing tool for Ripple’s platform (which facilitates monetary transfers for businesses) and on the basis that the executives personally benefited from the sales of XRP. Unlike many other similar Virtual Assets and their associated foundations, it is likely the SEC focused efforts on XRP in part due to the fact that Ripple and XRP are not decentralized.  The court proceedings are still in progress as of 2023, however Ripple has made headway and many signs point towards a ruling in their favor, in part based on statements made by William Hinman, director of corporate finance for the SEC, who declared that both Bitcoin and Ethereum are not securities. The market sentiment is that Ripple will be successful in their countersuit, which would likely be considered a watershed moment for the broader Virtual Asset ecosystem. However, it is important to note that the final verdict remains unclear at this time and the price of the XRP may become volatile with speculation in the court proceedings. Apart from the regulatory risk, XRP is also exposed to considerable concentration risk. A big portion of XRP supply is controlled by Ripple Labs (directly or indirectly). Concentration of supply may make the project to become controlled by a group of stakeholders.  Users should also be careful when depositing their XRP to their Rain wallet as it is mandatory to provide the TAG. Failure to provide the TAG can make it difficult to ascertain the ownership of the funds and a delay in crediting the funds to the customer.  

Shiba Inu (SHIB)

Shiba Inu (SHIB) is a meme token which began as a fun currency and has now captured mainstream attention as a meme coin. A crucial consideration for SHIB is its lack of substantial utility or a defined use case beyond its meme status. SHIB has demonstrated extreme volatility in its price dynamics, characterized by swift increases followed by sharp declines. This high level of price volatility poses a significant risk, especially for investors who are relatively new to the Virtual Asset market. The absence of a defined utility or purpose may amplify the influence of market sentiment on SHIB's value, making it essential for investors to exercise caution and thoroughly evaluate the associated risks.

Solana (SOL)

Solana is the fastest blockchain in the world, and the fastest growing ecosystem in Virtual Assets, with thousands of projects spanning DeFi, NFTs, Web3 and more. It is censorship resistant and decentralized. The goal and purpose is to provide the world’s fastest and most scalable blockchain. Solana blockchain is an independent infrastructure and does not depend on an external service. Overall the blockchain is known as fast and reliable and has a 99.5% + uptime throughout its history. A major risk to the Solana blockchain is a surface of exposure related to Amazon Web Services (AWS). As of September 2021, 37% of all Solana was staked on nodes that are supported by AWS infrastructure. This famously caused a large strain on the network that resulted in it having to be turned off in September 2021 for approximately 17 hours.

SushiSwap (SUSHI)

SushiSwap launched in September 2020 as a fork of Uniswap, is a DeFi protocol that is completely community-driven. SushiSwap aims to diversify the Automated Market Making (AMM) market and also add additional features not previously present on Uniswap, such as increased rewards for network participants via its in-house token, SUSHI. SUSHI is a governance token that enables community governance over the Sushi ecosystem. As with any decentralized exchange, Sushiswap operates on smart contracts, which are subject to bugs or exploits. DEX’s in general can be open to the risk of being copied by other entities or competitors due to their open-source nature, and potentially losing market share. Sushi is also exposed to broader DEFI related risks like market risk, security risk, governance risk, code exploitation and vulnerabilities.

The Graph (GRT)

The Graph is an indexing protocol for querying networks like Ethereum and InterPlanetary File System. Anyone can build and publish open APIs, called subgraphs, making data easily accessible. While transitioning to the decentralized indexing network, The Graph has a number of subgraphs deployed to its hosted service, which is a centralized service provider that could potentially be exposed to a single point of failure. The native token is GRT with a supply of 10 billion, and a target of 3% new issuance annually to reward Indexers for allocating stake on subgraphs. This means that the total supply of GRT tokens will increase by 3% each year as new tokens are issued to Indexers for their contribution to the network.

The Sandbox (SAND)

Sandbox is a gaming platform that allows its community members to create, own and trade virtual gaming assets in the form of NFTs. Players can undertake such transactions through the platform’s own utility token, SAND, which is an ERC-20 token built on the Ethereum blockchain with a finite supply of 3,000,000,000 SAND. What makes the Sandbox platform unique from other blockchain-based gaming platforms is that Sandbox allows users to create and animate arts into avatars and also allows them to create their own games. SAND faces a market risk of high competition and price fluctuation, security risks of hacking and mining attacks, and the speed of transactions can decrease if there is a high number of transactions.

Uniswap (UNI)

Uniswap is a DEX that first introduced the automated market maker (AMM) model. Unlike with an order book, traders are provided with constant liquidity as a result of the “constant product” formula. The V2 version was first based on Ethereum, before branching out to other blockchains that support ERC-20 tokens. While the V1 version of Uniswap only supported swapping ETH-ERC-20 token pairs, the V2 version removed this bridging problem and introduced flash swaps. These allowed users to swap between different ERC-20 tokens. It also introduced protocol fees, which contributed to the platform's ongoing development. Furthermore, the V2 version began using wrapped Ether over native Ether for its core contracts.

The exchange’s popularity gave birth to a V3 version with concentrated liquidity and more flexible fees, which improved the user experience for traders and liquidity providers alike. UNI token is solely a governance token and does not accrue fees generated by the protocol. DEX’s in general can be open to the risk of being copied by other entities/competitors due to their open-source nature, and potentially losing market share.

USD Coin (USDC)

USD Coin is a USD stablecoin governed by Centre, a consortium which was founded by Circle and includes members from Coinbase. Due to its high standards of compliance and transparency, it has become one of the largest and massively adopted stablecoins. It is important to note that there exist broader market risks related to stablecoins, including transparency relating to collateral funds and broad market de-peg incidents.

Tether (USDT)

Founded in 2014, Tether (USDT) is a stablecoin designed to maintain a 1:1 exchange ratio with the U.S. Dollar (USD). Tether pioneered the fiat-collateralized stablecoin model and is now the most widely transacted stablecoin in the market. However, as a stablecoin operating in the rapidly evolving blockchain space, USDT is exposed to various risks. In addition to the inherent risks associated with virtual assets, USDT faces several specific risks that investors and users should carefully consider:

Regulatory Risk: Tether has been the subject of multiple lawsuits and investigations by regulatory authorities worldwide. These legal challenges could adversely affect USDT's price and future viability.

Transparency: A key concern surrounding Tether is the transparency of its reserves. Allegations have surfaced that Tether may not always hold an equivalent amount of USD to back the circulating supply of USDT. If proven, this could lead to market instability.

Market Manipulation Risk: Given Tether’s significant trading volume and influence in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, its market is vulnerable to manipulation. Such practices could impact the value and stability of USDT.

Asset Allocation Risk: Tether’s reserves include non-fiat assets such as U.S. Treasury bonds and Bitcoin. The inclusion of Bitcoin introduces volatility risks, as its value can fluctuate significantly.

De-pegging Risk: Despite being pegged to the U.S. dollar, USDT remains exposed to the risk of de-pegging. There have been past instances where USDT temporarily lost its peg due to actions by major exchanges or negative media reports.

The above list of risks is not exhaustive. Investors and users of USDT should conduct a careful evaluation of these and other potential risks before engaging with the stablecoin.

yearn.finance (YFI)

Yearn.finance is an aggregator service for decentralized finance investors, using automation to allow them to maximize profits from yield farming. Its goal is to simplify the ever-expanding DeFi space for investors who are not technically minded. As with any Defi protocol, yearn.finance operates on smart contracts, which are subject to bugs or exploits. Yearn’s vaults are exposed to the lending protocols like Aave, Compound Finance, dYdX and Alpha Homora. Consequently, the risks inherent in these lending protocols, as well as the potential impact of any incidents within them, have the potential to cascade to Yearn Finance.

0x (ZRX)

0x (ZRX) has attempted to set itself apart by focusing on the tools that it judges to be most important for the development of the Virtual Asset ecosystem more broadly. The team has attempted to make it easier for developers to build their own decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and to help users to execute more efficient and accurate trades by providing a tool for liquidity aggregation. 0x has also created a feature called Matcha, which serves as a search engine for trading on all DEXs simultaneously. By aggregating all DEXs in this way, 0x aims to simplify the trading process for those faced with so many DEX options. Another aspect which distinguishes 0x from other Ethereum-based DEX protocols is that 0x supports both fungible (ERC-20) and non-fungible (ERC-723) tokens. Similar to all Virtual Assets, it is subject to market risk and market volatility. Also the speed of the transactions can decrease if there is a high number of transactions.

Yield Guild Games

(YGG)

Subject to peg risk versus native ETH, validator slashing, withdrawal/queue delays, and smart-contract vulnerabilities. Market dislocations can widen discounts. Regulatory actions affecting staking could reduce demand or access.

Measurable Data Token (MDT)

Value depends on data-marketplace adoption and compliant data usage; privacy and regulatory risks (data protection laws) may be material. Smart-contract issues and low liquidity can cause losses. Competition and changing rules may limit growth.

Enzyme (MLN)

Asset-management protocol risk: smart-contract vulnerabilities, strategy misconfiguration, and oracle failures can cause losses. Governance changes may affect fees/incentives. Liquidity is variable and market conditions can drive high volatility.

PolySwarm Nectar (NCT)

Adoption of cybersecurity/threat-intelligence marketplaces is uncertain; low usage may impair value. Smart-contract risks and liquidity constraints can magnify losses. Regulatory changes around security services and tokens can affect operations.

Origin Protocol (OGN)

Dependent on adoption of its commerce/DeFi products; product changes or competition may reduce demand. Smart-contract vulnerabilities and governance outcomes can affect value. Regulatory shifts around stablecoins/DeFi/NFTs may be material.

ORCA

DEX ecosystem risks including smart-contract bugs, concentrated liquidity/LP impermanent loss, and oracle failures. Trading volumes and incentives may fluctuate, impacting token value. Regulatory scrutiny of DEXs could affect access and usage.

Orchid (OXT)

Marketplace usage for bandwidth/VPN services may be inconsistent; limited adoption can weigh on value. Smart-contract risks and potential regulatory attention to privacy networks may impact operations. Liquidity and price volatility remain high.

Polkastarter (POLS)

Launchpad/IDO activity can be cyclical; regulatory actions on token offerings may limit operations or demand. Smart-contract risks and low liquidity can cause sharp price swings. Governance decisions may not favor holders.

Radworks (RAD)

Reliant on funding/open-source ecosystem adoption; contributions and treasury decisions may be unpredictable. Smart-contract and governance risks can affect value. Illiquidity and market downturns may amplify volatility.

Rarible (RAR)

Marketplace usage and fee dynamics drive value; NFT activity is cyclical and sentiment driven. Smart-contract/platform issues and regulatory changes to NFTs/royalties may reduce demand. Liquidity can be thin, increasing volatility.

Renzo / LRT exposure (REZ)

Liquid restaking token risks include de-peg, validator slashing, rehypothecation/stacked risk across protocols, and smart-contract failures. Governance changes or market stress can widen discounts. Regulatory treatment of restaking is uncertain.

Stader (SD)

Liquid-staking exposure with peg, validator, and smart-contract risks; slashing or protocol issues can cause losses. Incentives and governance may change economics. Liquidity and regulatory risks can drive significant volatility.

Stargate (STG)

Cross-chain liquidity protocol risk: bridge/contract vulnerabilities, chain outages, or oracle failures can impair funds or operations. Usage and incentives are cyclical; governance changes may affect rewards. Regulatory scrutiny of bridging may increase.

Wrapped Centrifuge (​​WCFG)

Wrap/bridge mechanics add custody and smart-contract risk; failures or depegs can cause losses. Underlying asset and RWA adoption risks apply. Liquidity may be limited, leading to sharp price moves; regulation of RWAs may evolve.

Onyxcoin (XCN)

Protocol/governance token with potential for parameter changes affecting value and emissions. Smart-contract risks, liquidity constraints, and rebranding or strategic shifts can create uncertainty. Regulatory developments may impact access and demand.

ZetaChain (ZETA)

Early-stage L1/omnichain exposure with potential cross-chain security risks and evolving tooling. Adoption and developer traction are uncertain. Smart-contract or consensus issues and regulatory actions can drive high volatility.

Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT)

Highly speculative meme/community token; price primarily driven by social sentiment and thin liquidity. Vulnerable to manipulation, rapid drawdowns, and exchange policy changes. Consider total capital at risk.

POPCAT

Meme token with minimal fundamental anchors; hype cycles can create extreme volatility and liquidity gaps. Susceptible to sharp corrections, regulatory scrutiny, and delistings. Investment capital is at high risk.

Pudgy Penguins (PENGU)

Community/meme-driven token with unpredictable demand and potential for coordinated pumps/dumps. Low liquidity can magnify losses. Regulatory or platform actions may rapidly impact price and access.

Gitcoin (GTC)

Value tied to grant activity, treasury health, and governance; funding downturns or governance changes can impair token economics. Smart-contract and treasury risks, plus regulatory uncertainty around grants/DAOs, may affect price. Liquidity and market conditions can be volatile.

EOS (EOS)

EOS is a highly volatile digital asset. Its delegated proof-of-stake governance concentrates power with block producers, creating centralization, fork, and censorship risks. Smart-contract bugs, network congestion/resource costs, key or custodian loss, limited liquidity, and regulatory changes can restrict access or reduce value. This is a general risk disclosure, not investment, legal, or tax advice.

Aster (ASTER)

ASTER is a virtual asset associated with the Aster ecosystem, which offers on-chain spot and derivatives (perpetual) trading. ASTER is a high-risk and highly speculative virtual asset. Its price can be highly volatile, and it carries smart-contract and technology risks (including bugs, exploits or outages) as well as tokenomics risks (e.g., future unlocks or incentive changes). As it is linked to derivatives activity and an evolving blockchain ecosystem, regulatory uncertainty may restrict access or liquidity in some jurisdictions.

CANTON (CC)

The long-term valuation of CC is highly contingent upon the sustained adoption of the Canton Network by leading traditional financial institutions (e.g., banks, clearinghouses, and asset managers). Should enterprise adoption stagnate, or if institutions opt for alternative private or public ledger solutions, the demand for CC may experience a material decline. A further risk factor pertains to the fact that Canton’s utility is derived from the tokenization of real-world assets, an increasingly regulated field, which may impede future adoption or necessitate that Canton cease operations in specific jurisdictions, thereby curtailing growth and utility. The network's integrity is guaranteed by super validators; any disruption to these validators will consequently impact the network as a whole. Canton also employs a sophisticated Burn-Mint Equilibrium (BME) model, wherein transaction fees are denominated in fiat currency but settled and burned in CC. Unforeseen macroeconomic shifts, alterations in network fee structures, or imbalances in the minting/burning ratio could precipitate significant and unexpected price volatility.
