What are the risks of using the RealFi protocol?
-
Participation in the RealFi protocol involves several categories of risk that prospective users should understand before participating.
-
Smart contract risk is the possibility that the protocol's code contains undiscovered vulnerabilities that could result in loss of funds.
-
Peg risk is the possibility that USDr could deviate from its target value due to market stress or arbitrage failure.
-
Reserve risk is the possibility that the underlying portfolio underperforms or experiences defaults that reduce the value of sUSDr.
-
Regulatory risk is the possibility that future regulatory developments affect the protocol's ability to operate in a jurisdiction or change the legal classification of the tokens.
-
Liquidity risk is the possibility that redemption queues, market liquidity, or circuit breaker activations prevent timely exit.
-
Counterparty risk is the possibility that protocol service providers, custodians, or borrowers in the underlying portfolio fail to perform their obligations.
-
Technology risk is the possibility that protocol infrastructure, including the Cardano blockchain and supporting systems, experiences outages or failures.
-
sUSDr holders additionally absorb portfolio losses before USDr holders are affected. USDr and sUSDr are not bank deposits and are not insured. Capital is at risk.
