Risk Disclosure
This Risk Disclosure is an integral part of your agreement with Stratagen Group when you use Stratagen CryptoEdge. Read it carefully. By clicking through during sign-up you confirm that you understand the risks described below.
You can lose some or all of the value you deposit. CryptoEdge does not guarantee any return, does not protect against loss, and is not insured by any government deposit-insurance scheme. Do not commit funds you cannot afford to lose.
1. Market risk
Digital-asset markets are volatile. Prices can move sharply in short periods due to macroeconomic events, exchange outages, liquidity shocks, regulatory announcements, or news about a specific protocol. Strategy returns depend on market conditions and can be negative in any period, including periods that historically would have been positive.
Risk-profile labels (Conservative, Moderate, Aggressive) describe the relative variance and drawdown characteristics that the underlying strategy is designed for. They are not a forecast and do not represent any specific return outcome. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
2. Strategy and execution risk
Strategies are operated by Stratagen and execute through third-party venues including centralised exchanges and on-chain decentralised exchanges. Risks include but are not limited to:
- Execution slippage when liquidity is thin.
- Venue outages, deposit / withdrawal pauses, and counterparty failure.
- Strategy parameters performing poorly in unforeseen market regimes.
- Software defects in the strategy code or our internal infrastructure.
3. Smart-contract and protocol risk
On-chain venues are governed by smart-contract code. Bugs, exploits, governance changes, or upgrade mistakes in those contracts can cause partial or total loss of the assets that flow through them. We rely on publicly-available audits and our own diligence to select venues, but we cannot eliminate this risk.
4. Custody and key-management risk
Your wallet is held through our identity provider's multi-party computation (MPC) scheme. You retain custody. We do not hold your private keys, and we cannot recover assets sent to an address outside the scope of the Service.
Stratagen executes strategies through a scoped delegated signing permission that you grant from your wallet. Risks include unauthorised access to your account or to the delegated signer if your credentials are compromised, and infrastructure failures that delay or prevent revocation of the delegated permission.
5. Network and on-chain risk
Deposits and withdrawals depend on the underlying blockchain. Network congestion, reorganisations, hard forks, or address-format errors can result in delayed crediting, additional fees, or in some cases assets that cannot be recovered (for example, sending to an address on the wrong network).
6. Conversion risk
Native-asset deposits (for example, SOL or ETH) are converted to USDC at receipt. Conversion is executed through on-chain liquidity venues at prevailing rates, after fees and slippage. The USDC amount credited will not exactly equal the market price at the moment of deposit.
7. Stablecoin risk
USDC is a fiat-referenced stablecoin issued by a third party (Circle). It is not legal tender and is not insured by any government. Like other stablecoins, it carries the risk that its issuer cannot maintain its peg or honour redemption, in which case the value of USDC balances held in your CryptoEdge account would be impaired.
8. Regulatory risk
Digital-asset regulation is evolving. Future regulatory action could restrict or prohibit specific assets, strategies, or features; require additional reporting; impose taxes; or otherwise change the terms on which CryptoEdge is offered. Such changes may require us to suspend, modify, or terminate the Service.
9. Tax risk
You are responsible for any tax obligations arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to capital-gains, income, and information-reporting obligations. We do not provide tax advice. Consult a qualified tax professional in your jurisdiction.
10. Operational risk
The Service depends on third-party providers (hosting, identity, KYC, analytics, blockchain RPC). Outages or failures at those providers can delay deposits, withdrawals, or strategy execution. Stratagen is not liable for losses caused by third-party provider failures except as required by applicable law.
11. No advice; your decision
Nothing in CryptoEdge is personalised investment, tax, or legal advice. You are responsible for evaluating whether the Service is suitable for your circumstances. If you are unsure, consult an independent qualified adviser before depositing funds or activating a strategy.
