Risks and Terms

Risks and Terms & Conditions

⚠️ General Disclaimer:

  • Interface (Stackfi App) ≠ Protocol (on-chain smart contracts)

  • Protocol is governed by DAO, not a single entity

  • Interfaces may go offline, but on-chain positions remain accessible

🔒 Protocol Technical Risks:

  1. Oracle Risk:

  • Oracles (Chainlink, Redstone) are critical; incorrect prices can trigger bad liquidations

  1. MEV & Sandwich Attacks:

  • Common DeFi issue; users should use protective RPCs and limit slippage

  1. Stablecoin & Peg Risks:

  • Frozen assets or de-pegs may affect lending pools

  • Collateral base must be diversified by DAO

  1. Liquidation Risks:

  • Liquidations done by third parties, not the protocol

  • Failures can cause under-collateralization; Reserve Fund helps mitigate

  1. AllowedList Risks:

  • Exploitable or misconfigured contracts can threaten pool solvency

  1. LP Withdrawal Limitations:

  • High pool utilization may prevent instant withdrawals

  • Similar to Aave/Compound, mitigated via interest curve changes

  1. Wallet Issues:

  • Wallet connection errors can hinder protocol use

  1. Hacks & Smart Contract Failures:

  • Any exploit or malfunction may result in partial/full loss of funds

  1. Governance Risks:

  • Until fully decentralized, DAO actions depend on multisig performance

  • Timelocks are in place for protection

🧪 Interface & App Risks:

  • Beta Software: Experimental, no guarantees on performance or safety

  • Software Weaknesses: May contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or be targeted by malware

  • Blockchain Dependencies: Breakdowns or consensus attacks can affect Stackfi

  • Complex Protocol Logic: Not for beginners; users must understand the risks

  • Data Accuracy: UI data is automated, may be incorrect or delayed

  • Flawed Smart Contract Logic: Bugs in logic can misfire or misallocate funds

  • UI Confusion: User errors may arise from poor interface design

  • Legal Risks: Jurisdictional regulations may affect availability and operations

  • Theft Risk: Hacks, flash loans, and attacks may result in total asset loss

Conclusion: Use Stackfi only if you fully understand the protocol and risks. Always confirm actions on-chain, secure your wallet, and remain cautious in DeFi.
