⚠️ Known Risks

Known Risks

While MALGIST is designed to improve transparency and decision-making in DeFi, all users should understand that risks cannot be fully eliminated.

Below are the key risks that users should be aware of when interacting with MALGIST.


1. Smart Contract Risk

MALGIST relies on smart contracts deployed on the Mantle Network.

Potential risks include:

  • Undiscovered bugs or vulnerabilities

  • Unexpected edge cases during execution

  • Dependency on external contract behavior

Although best practices and audits are prioritized, smart contracts are never risk-free.


2. Protocol Risk

Strategies executed through MALGIST interact with external DeFi protocols.

Risks may arise from:

  • Protocol upgrades or governance changes

  • Liquidity issues

  • Exploits or failures in third-party protocols

MALGIST does not control these external protocols.


3. Market Risk

DeFi strategies are exposed to market conditions.

This includes:

  • Asset price volatility

  • Impermanent loss

  • Changes in yield or incentives

  • Sudden market movements

Even low-risk strategies can experience losses under extreme conditions.


4. Strategy Design Risk

Each strategy is defined by its logic and parameters.

Possible risks:

  • Suboptimal allocation choices

  • Assumptions that no longer hold over time

  • Complexity increasing failure probability

Users are encouraged to review strategy details carefully before depositing.


5. AI & Analytics Limitations

If AI-driven insights or analytics are provided:

  • They are informational only

  • They may be incomplete or outdated

  • They do not predict future outcomes

AI does not guarantee profitability and should not be treated as financial advice.


User Responsibility Notice

By using MALGIST, users acknowledge that:

  • They understand the associated risks

  • They retain full control over their assets

  • They are responsible for their own decisions

MALGIST aims to surface risks, not hide them.
