Risk Disclosure

This Risk Disclosure describes material risks associated with interacting with non-custodial, on-chain credit vaults and third-party protocols. It is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, legal advice, or any recommendation.

Non-Custodial Operation

AlphaPing does not take custody of user assets. Users interact directly with third-party smart contracts on public blockchains using their own wallets. Users remain solely responsible for safeguarding private keys, approving transactions, and verifying transaction details prior to execution.

Third-Party Protocol Risk

Vault operation depends on third-party protocols and their smart contracts. AlphaPing does not control such protocols and does not guarantee their security, correctness, availability, or economic outcomes. Changes to protocol parameters, governance decisions, upgrades, or emergency actions may materially affect vault behavior and outcomes.

Smart Contract and Technology Risk

Smart contracts may contain vulnerabilities, design flaws, or integration errors that can result in partial or total loss of funds. Audits, if any, reduce but do not eliminate risk. Any security assessment is limited in scope and does not constitute a guarantee of safety.

Market Risk and Volatility

Digital assets and on-chain markets are subject to rapid price movements, liquidity constraints, and adverse market conditions. These factors can impact collateral values, borrowing costs, liquidation frequency, and realized outcomes.

Liquidation Risk

Over-collateralized credit mechanisms may liquidate collateral when thresholds are breached. Liquidations can occur rapidly during volatile markets, may realize losses relative to pre-liquidation valuations, and can be affected by liquidity conditions, slippage, and on-chain execution dynamics.

Liquidity and Withdrawal Risk

Withdrawals may be limited by available on-chain liquidity and protocol mechanics. While vaults may be designed for continuous operation, users may experience delays, partial fills, or unfavorable execution conditions due to liquidity constraints, network congestion, or protocol-level rules.

Oracle, Pricing, and Data Risk

Protocols may rely on external or on-chain pricing mechanisms and oracles. Oracle delays, incorrect pricing, manipulation, outages, or configuration errors may cause incorrect collateral valuations, inappropriate liquidations, or other adverse outcomes.

Blockchain and Network Risk

Public blockchains may experience congestion, reorgs, outages, validator failures, censorship, or consensus issues. Transaction confirmation is not guaranteed within a specific timeframe, and network conditions may materially affect execution, costs, and outcomes.

Transaction Execution and MEV Risk

On-chain transactions are subject to miner/validator ordering, front-running, sandwiching, and other maximal extractable value dynamics. Users may experience slippage, adverse price movement, or degraded execution in stressed markets.

Counterparty and Asset Risks

Collateral and assets may have unique risks, including depegs, exploit risk, governance risk, and operational risk. Token contracts may be paused, upgraded, restricted, or otherwise impacted by their own issuers or governance processes.

Operational Scope and No Fiduciary Duty

AlphaPing provides an operational interface and mandate framing for interacting with third-party protocols. AlphaPing does not act as a custodian, broker, investment advisor, or fiduciary, and does not provide suitability determinations. Users are solely responsible for independent diligence and decision-making.

No Insurance, No Guarantees, No Compensation

AlphaPing does not provide insurance, loss reimbursement, yield guarantees, or any assurance of performance. Unless explicitly stated in writing, AlphaPing does not operate any bug bounty, reward, or compensation program. The absence of an explicitly declared program means no entitlement to bounties, rewards, or compensation exists.

Regulatory and Tax Considerations

AlphaPing GmbH is a Switzerland-based entity. AlphaPing is not a licensed asset manager, investment advisor, or financial institution unless explicitly stated otherwise. Users are responsible for understanding and complying with applicable laws, regulations, sanctions, and tax obligations in their jurisdictions.
