4. Risk Warning – Digital Asset Trading
Trading or interacting with cryptoassets involves significant risk and may not be suitable for all users. Prices of digital assets can be extremely volatile and may fluctuate rapidly. You may lose the entire value of your holdings or face unexpected losses.
Before using the Darklake Protocol or engaging in any crypto-related activity, you should:
Carefully evaluate your investment goals and risk appetite
Understand that past performance is not indicative of future results
Acknowledge that smart contracts can fail, be exploited, or behave unexpectedly
Seek independent professional advice if needed
You assume full responsibility for your actions and any consequences that may result from using this protocol.
Trading cryptoassets involves significant risks, including but not limited to:
Loss of capital: the value of tokens may fall to zero.
High volatility: rapid price swings can cause unexpected losses.
Liquidity risk: markets may be illiquid, making it hard to exit positions.
Technology risk: smart contracts, wallets, and protocols may be hacked, exploited, or fail.
Regulatory risk: rules may change, limiting access or legality in your jurisdiction.
You should only trade if you fully understand these risks and are prepared to lose your entire investment. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
