Disclaimer Last Updated: 3 November 2022

You are hereby made aware that the risk of loss in DeFi can be extremely high, particularly in the cross-chain environment in which Astrolab Finance operates. The delegated services with which Astrolab interacts include but are not limited to: The holding of crypto assets Trading on decentralized exchanges Staking platform and protocol tokens with or without time-lock Mining liquidity Lending Purchasing insurances Bridging funds from one network to another

Please note that this list will change subject to the rapidly evolving state of DeFi and other emerging protocols.

You should carefully consider whether delegating funds to the Astrolab Finance Protocol or whether buying Astrolab's governance token matches your risk profile and loss capacity. As with any asset, Astrolab's governance token, Astrolab's Crates and underlying DeFi protocols can appreciate or depreciate, and can lead to a substantial loss limited to the amount of funds you deposit. Therefore, you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should seek advice from a financial advisor if you are unclear about any matters. Astrolab does not provide any investment, legal or tax advice and does not assume any liability to third parties concerning the provision of advice or your transactions in and in connection with Astrolab.
