Risk Disclosure (Read Before You Invest)

General risk statement: Crypto trading and AI-assisted decision-making both carry severe and uncontrollable risks, including the possibility of losing your entire principal. Only use funds you can afford to lose in full.

1. Risks specific to AI tools

AI hallucinations: every LLM (ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini and others) will confidently fabricate facts, invent on-chain data, and misquote official documentation.
Stale training data: unless the tool has live internet access, its knowledge base may lag by 6 to 18 months and miss the most recent regulatory and market changes.
No black-swan foresight: regulatory shifts, exchange collapses, on-chain exploits — AI is always a hindsight commentator, never a predictor.
Overconfidence: AI does not know what it does not know. It will state wrong answers in a certain tone.
Prompt injection: maliciously crafted inputs can manipulate AI into producing incorrect or harmful answers.

2. Market volatility risk

Crypto routinely moves 30%+ in 24 hours, and 70%+ swings are not unheard of. Even major coins have drawn down 70-80% inside a single year.

3. Leverage and derivatives risk

Leveraged trading amplifies losses. At 10x leverage a 10% adverse move triggers liquidation. Funding rate costs can erode principal over time. Liquidation prices can fill far worse than expected under extreme volatility because of slippage.

4. Smart contract and DeFi risk

Smart contract bugs / rug pulls / admin key backdoors
Oracle manipulation / flash loan attacks
Impermanent loss
Protocol team abandonment / governance attacks

5. Wallet and private key risk

Seed phrase / private key leakage means stolen funds — irrecoverable
Phishing sites / fake support staff / fake airdrops
Wallet approvals exploited by malicious contracts
Supply chain attacks against hardware wallets

No AI tool and no page on this site will ever ask for your private key, seed phrase, or API key. Anyone who does is a scammer.

6. Exchange risk

Exchanges can be hacked, defrauded from the inside, or go bankrupt (see FTX and Mt.Gox). Withdrawal whitelists and separation of large holdings into cold storage are essential precautions.

7. Regulatory and legal risk

Crypto regulation changes frequently across jurisdictions. Some activities may be illegal where you live. Consult a licensed local attorney or tax advisor.

8. Liquidity risk

Small-cap tokens may become impossible to exit at a reasonable price during extreme conditions. Withdrawals may be paused without notice.
