Risk Disclosure

Important information about the risks of participating in 7N7D.

Important

Please read this entire document before investing. Cryptocurrency and DeFi investments carry significant risks including the potential for total loss.

Investment Risks​

1. Market Risk​

What it is: The value of your investment can go down.

  • Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile
  • AI trading can have losing periods
  • Past performance does not guarantee future results
  • You may receive less than you deposited

Mitigation:

  • Only invest what you can afford to lose
  • Consider your risk tolerance
  • Diversify your portfolio

2. Trading Risk​

What it is: The AI trading strategy may underperform.

  • AI makes predictions, not guarantees
  • Market conditions can change rapidly
  • Black swan events can cause large losses
  • Strategy may not adapt quickly enough

Mitigation:

  • Position limits cap maximum exposure
  • Stop-losses limit individual trade losses
  • Daily loss limits pause trading
  • Continuous learning improves over time

3. Smart Contract Risk​

What it is: Bugs in code could result in loss of funds.

  • Smart contracts are complex software
  • Despite testing, bugs may exist
  • Exploits could drain funds
  • Immutable contracts can't be patched

Mitigation:

  • Professional audits (pending)
  • Extensive test coverage
  • Use of battle-tested standards
  • Bug bounty program (planned)

4. Liquidity Risk​

What it is: You may not be able to withdraw when desired.

  • Large withdrawals may take time
  • Extreme market conditions can affect liquidity
  • Protocol may pause in emergencies
  • Gas costs fluctuate

Mitigation:

  • Vault maintains liquidity buffer
  • No lock-up periods
  • Emergency withdrawal function
  • Multiple withdrawal options

5. Regulatory Risk​

What it is: Laws could affect the protocol or your participation.

  • Cryptocurrency regulations evolving
  • Different jurisdictions, different rules
  • Protocol may become restricted in some areas
  • Tax treatment varies by location

Mitigation:

  • Monitor regulatory developments
  • Consult legal/tax professionals
  • Protocol designed for compliance
  • Geographic restrictions may apply

6. Technology Risk​

What it is: Technical failures could affect operations.

  • Blockchain network issues
  • Exchange downtime
  • API failures
  • Infrastructure problems

Mitigation:

  • Multiple backup systems
  • Monitoring and alerts
  • Manual intervention capability
  • Established infrastructure providers

7. Equity Perpetual Risk (Stocks, testnet)​

What it is: Stock exposure is taken as a perpetual contract on a Hyperliquid builder DEX, not as shares.

  • The perpetual can trade while the underlying stock market is closed, and its price can diverge from the stock
  • Funding, fees, spread and liquidity differ from crypto markets and from the stock itself
  • A builder DEX can halt or delist a market; open exposure is then supervised but cannot always be closed immediately
  • Equity trading is currently testnet only and disabled by default

Mitigation:

  • New stock entries are restricted to the underlying's regular session
  • Leverage for equity perpetuals is capped at 2x, below the venue's own maximum
  • Position and daily-loss limits are shared with crypto — there is no separate stock budget to over-allocate

DeFi-Specific Risks​

Oracle Risk​

  • Protocol relies on accurate price data
  • Oracle manipulation could affect valuations
  • Mitigation: Multiple data sources, sanity checks

Composability Risk​

  • Integration with other protocols (Hyperliquid, Uniswap)
  • Failures in dependent protocols affect 7N7D
  • Mitigation: Limited external dependencies

Governance Risk​

  • Token holders make decisions
  • Malicious proposals could harm protocol
  • Mitigation: Timelock, quorum requirements

Bridge Risk​

  • USDC must be on Arbitrum
  • Bridge exploits could affect users
  • Mitigation: Use established bridges, verify transactions

Financial Risks​

No Guaranteed Returns​

7N7D does not guarantee:

  • Any specific return percentage
  • Principal protection
  • Consistent profits
  • Minimum yield

Historical returns, projections, and estimates are not guarantees of future performance.

Fee Impact​

Fees reduce your returns:

  • 0.5% annual management fee
  • 10% performance fee (on profits)
  • Gas costs for transactions
  • Potential trading costs

Impermanent Loss (Token Holders)​

If you buy $7N7D tokens:

  • Token price can decrease
  • May be worth less than USDC invested
  • Liquidity provider positions have IL risk

Operational Risks​

Team Risk​

  • Protocol depends on continued development
  • Team could reduce involvement
  • Key person dependencies

Counterparty Risk​

  • Hyperliquid exchange dependency
  • RPC provider dependency
  • Cloud infrastructure dependency

Custody Risk​

  • You control your own keys
  • Lost keys = lost funds
  • No account recovery
