11 Risk Disclosure
Summary: This chapter outlines the key risks associated with participating in the ANOME ecosystem, including market volatility, smart contract vulnerabilities, and regional regulatory considerations.
Overview
Participation in ANOME’s ecosystem — whether through gameplay, token staking, or DeFi activities — involves exposure to market, technical, and regulatory risks. This disclosure aims to help users understand these risks before engaging with the platform.
Important: By using ANOME, users acknowledge that blockchain-based assets are subject to significant volatility and potential loss. ANOME does not guarantee profits or protection against all risks.
1. Market Volatility Risk
The value of cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and related digital assets can fluctuate significantly due to market forces, liquidity constraints, and external macroeconomic factors.
Users may experience losses in asset value resulting from sharp market movements.
The price of ANOME tokens, cards, and in-game assets is determined by supply and demand dynamics, and may not reflect intrinsic or long-term value.
Market volatility is an inherent characteristic of decentralized asset markets; participants should never invest funds they cannot afford to lose.
2. Smart Contract and Technical Risks
Despite audits and extensive testing, smart contracts may still contain undiscovered vulnerabilities.
Exploits or bugs in the underlying blockchain (e.g., Base or SEI Network) could result in the loss of funds or assets.
System downtime, gas spikes, or congestion may affect transaction execution speed and cost.
Users are responsible for verifying the authenticity of URLs, contract addresses, and wallet integrations to avoid phishing or counterfeit versions.
ANOME continually improves its security and conducts third-party audits (e.g., by CertiK), but technical risk can never be fully eliminated.
3. Regulatory and Legal Risks
Blockchain and digital asset regulations vary significantly by jurisdiction.
Certain features of ANOME (such as token staking, lending, or NFT trading) may be restricted or prohibited in some regions.
Users must comply with their local laws and are responsible for understanding the legal implications of participating in ANOME.
Regulatory changes may affect ANOME’s operations or user accessibility in specific markets.
ANOME operates transparently and in alignment with evolving global compliance standards, but users should exercise caution when engaging across borders.
4. Liquidity and Redemption Risks
While ANOME provides refund and redemption mechanisms, liquidity conditions may vary depending on market activity and pool depth.
Redemption of USDA to USDC, or sale of NFTs through refund systems, could experience delays or slippage during periods of high demand.
Users should consider holding durations and liquidity constraints before committing funds.
5. User Responsibility
Users retain full control and ownership of their wallets and private keys.
ANOME does not have access to user funds and cannot recover lost private keys or compromised wallets.
Users are encouraged to adopt secure wallet practices, enable 2FA, and avoid interacting with unverified contracts.
6. Future Development Risks
Features mentioned in the ANOME Whitepaper (such as AI modules or Meme Realms) may evolve or differ from their initial design.
Development timelines may change due to technical dependencies, audits, or third-party integration delays.
The ANOME team will always communicate major updates through official channels, but roadmap projections are not financial or performance guarantees.
7. External Dependencies
ANOME relies on third-party infrastructure (e.g., Base, SEI, LayerZero, CertiK, and wallet providers).
Outages, upgrades, or policy changes in these dependencies could temporarily impact ANOME’s availability or performance.
Summary
The ANOME ecosystem is designed with safety, transparency, and user empowerment in mind — but participation still carries inherent risks. Users should evaluate their financial situation, technical understanding, and risk tolerance before engaging.
Disclaimer: ANOME provides tools and access, not investment advice. All participation is voluntary and at the user’s own discretion.
