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 USDrf 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 sUSDrf.
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.
sUSDrf holders additionally absorb portfolio losses before USDrf holders are affected. USDrf and sUSDrf are not bank deposits and are not insured. Capital is at risk.
