Risks and limitations

YieldSeeker is an experimental on-chain financial system. You can lose some or all of the value you deposit. Do not use funds you cannot afford to lose.

Platform risks

Section titled “Platform risks”
  • Smart contracts, adapters, APIs, and infrastructure can contain bugs.
  • A compromised operator or service can attempt permitted actions; execution controls reduce but do not eliminate this risk.
  • A pause or service outage can prevent automated actions or delay support.
  • Blockchain congestion, reorganization, or transaction failure can affect timing and cost.

Protocol and market risks

Section titled “Protocol and market risks”
  • Supported DeFi protocols can be hacked, insolvent, paused, or unavailable.
  • Asset prices, reward values, interest rates, and exchange rates can change quickly.
  • Liquidity may be insufficient to exit a position when you want to.
  • Oracles, external data, or stale snapshots can affect decisions and displayed metrics.

Vault Agent risks

Section titled “Vault Agent risks”

The current Vault Agent pursues risk-adjusted yield across approved vaults, but its strategy can underperform, lose value, or fail to rebalance as expected. APY is an estimate of past or expected performance, not a guaranteed return.

Reward conversion can introduce slippage, fees, price risk, and execution risk. A position can also be only partially withdrawable depending on the underlying protocol.

Future agent types

Section titled “Future agent types”

A future borrowing, basis-trade, or other agent type will add its own strategy risks. Its documentation must explain leverage, collateral, liquidation, funding/rate, counterparty, and exit risks before launch where applicable.

Do not infer the risks of a future agent from the Vault Agent documentation.

Wallet and security limits

Section titled “Wallet and security limits”

Security explains ownership, constrained execution, registry controls, emergency pause, and recovery. These controls are designed to reduce risk; they do not guarantee safety, profit, liquidity, or uninterrupted access.

Section titled “No financial, tax, or legal advice”

YieldSeeker does not provide financial, tax, or legal advice. Review Taxes and reporting and consult qualified professionals about your circumstances.
