Risk Disclosures

Last updated: July 2026

Read these disclosures carefully before using openflow.network. They describe material risks that may cause you to lose some or all funds you commit.

1. General digital-asset risks

1. Total loss. Digital assets are highly volatile and can lose all value quickly and permanently. Past performance never indicates future results.
2. Irreversibility. Blockchain transactions cannot be reversed, recalled, or refunded. A mistaken address, amount, or token means permanent loss.
3. Self-custody. You control your own wallet and keys. Loss or theft of your seed phrase means loss of your assets; nobody — including OpenFlow — can restore access.
4. Smart-contract and protocol risk. Smart contracts may contain bugs or be exploited. Audits reduce but do not eliminate this risk. Blockchains themselves may halt, congest, fork, or reorganize.
5. No deposit protection. Digital assets are not bank deposits and are not covered by deposit-guarantee or investor-compensation schemes.
6. Regulatory risk. The legal treatment of digital assets, DeFi, and event contracts is unsettled and changing. Features may become unavailable to you at any time because of legal or regulatory developments.
7. Stablecoin risk. Values quoted or settled in USDC assume USDC trades at par with the US dollar. USD↔USDC parity is a policy assumption, not a market guarantee — USDC can trade below or above one dollar.

2. Swap risks

1. Quotes are indicative. Quotes are computed from public on-chain pool data, are valid for approximately 30 seconds, and are not a guaranteed execution price.
2. Slippage and price impact. Your executed price can be worse than quoted, especially in thin pools or volatile markets. Large orders move the price against you.
3. MEV. Third parties may observe pending transactions and trade around them (sandwiching, front-running), worsening your execution.
4. Uncurated token lists. Tokens are indexed automatically from on-chain pools with no curation, diligence, or endorsement. A listed token may be worthless, fraudulent, impersonating another token, a security in your jurisdiction, or associated with sanctioned actors. Verify contract addresses independently.
5. Limit and DCA orders are best-efforts. They may execute late, at a different price than your trigger, partially, or not at all — including because of downtime or service discontinuation. A stored order is not an on-chain commitment until executed.
6. Open-order visibility. Open orders are queryable by wallet address; others may see and potentially trade against your resting interest.
7. Fees. A protocol fee of 2.5 basis points of swap output is charged inside the swap transaction, in addition to blockchain network fees and any spread or price impact.

3. Prediction-market risks

1. Legal availability. Prediction markets and event contracts are restricted or prohibited in many jurisdictions. Display of a market is not a representation that trading it is lawful for you.
2. Binary outcomes. Event contracts commonly expire worth either their full value or zero. You can lose your entire stake on a single outcome.
3. Resolution risk. Markets resolve according to the rules and resolution source of the venue that lists them. Resolution can be ambiguous, disputed, or delayed. Always read the market's resolution rules before trading.
4. Liquidity risk. Prediction markets can be thin; you may be unable to exit a position before resolution except at a substantially worse price.
5. Data risk. Odds, order books, and trade feeds are redistributed from third-party venues and may be delayed, incomplete, or wrong.
6. Counterparty and venue risk. Positions are subject to the relevant venue's solvency, security, and terms — OpenFlow does not control any venue.
7. Shadow mode. As of the effective date, prediction order placement is in shadow mode: orders are recorded but not executed and no position is created. Do not rely on a shadow order as a hedge.

4. Service and operational risks

1. Availability. The site, its APIs, the keeper, and settlement infrastructure may be interrupted, degraded, or withdrawn at any time without notice.
2. Dependencies. The site depends on third-party infrastructure whose failure is our failure.
3. Beta character. Parts of the protocol are new and may not yet have completed independent audit. Newer software carries elevated defect risk.

5. No advice; your decision

All trading decisions are yours alone. OpenFlow does not assess suitability or appropriateness for you. If you are unsure whether these products are appropriate for you, consult an independent financial, legal, or tax adviser licensed in your jurisdiction.
