Participating in AMM-based decentralized swaps and liquidity provision involves inherent risks. You must fully acknowledge and bear these risks.
-
Impermanent Loss – The Primary AMM-Specific Risk
This is the main risk for LPs. It occurs when changes in the market price ratio of the two pooled tokens cause the total value of the assets you withdraw to be lower than if you had simply held them.
-
Greater volatility can increase potential loss.
-
Fee earnings are compensation, not a guarantee, and may not fully cover losses during extreme market volatility.
-
Smart Contract Security Risk
Your assets are managed by open-source code (smart contracts) on the blockchain.
-
Code may contain vulnerabilities. Despite audits, unknown vulnerabilities may exist, risking hacker attacks and fund theft.
-
You bear the full risk. Losses from security incidents may be irreversible.
-
Inherent Market Risk of Tokens
Cryptocurrency prices are highly volatile.
-
Principal may depreciate. The market price of any token you deposit (including major ones) can fall significantly, causing direct loss.
-
Stablecoins can de-peg. Even stablecoins carry the risk of deviating from their peg under extreme conditions.
-
Illiquidity & Transaction Risk
-
High Slippage: In pools with low trading volume, your swap or add/remove liquidity actions can cause unfavorable price movements.
-
Changing Asset Ratio Upon Withdrawal: When removing liquidity, you receive both tokens at the pool's current ratio, which may differ from your deposit ratio and expectations.
