Smart contracts are experimental technology. Despite security audits and testing:

• Bugs, vulnerabilities, or exploits may exist that could result in loss of funds
• Smart contracts are immutable once deployed and cannot be easily fixed if issues are discovered
• Interactions between multiple smart contracts may create unforeseen risks
• Oracle failures or manipulation could affect smart contract operations
• Upgradeable contracts may introduce new risks with each upgrade

• Cryptocurrency prices are highly volatile and can change dramatically in short periods
• The value of your Digital Assets may decrease significantly or become worthless
• Market conditions, regulatory changes, and other factors can affect asset prices
• Past performance is not indicative of future results
• There is no guarantee of liquidity for any asset

• Impermanent loss occurs when the price ratio of pooled assets changes
• The greater the price divergence, the greater the impermanent loss
• In extreme cases, impermanent loss can exceed any fees earned
• Liquidity positions may become worthless if one asset price drops to zero
• Withdrawal of liquidity may be affected by pool conditions

• Staked tokens may be subject to lock-up periods during which they cannot be withdrawn
• Reward rates are not guaranteed and may change over time
• Slashing or penalties may apply in certain conditions
• The underlying smart contracts may have vulnerabilities

• DeFi regulations are evolving and uncertain
• Your jurisdiction may impose restrictions on DeFi activities
• Regulatory changes could affect your ability to use the Service
• Tax implications vary by jurisdiction and are your responsibility
• Certain features may become unavailable due to regulatory requirements

• Blockchain network congestion may delay or fail transactions
• Gas fees can fluctuate significantly
• Network upgrades or forks may affect the Service
• Third-party infrastructure (RPCs, oracles) may experience downtime
• Browser or wallet compatibility issues may prevent proper functionality

The Service does not guarantee any returns on your Digital Assets. Any APY, APR, or yield projections displayed are estimates based on current conditions and may change at any time. Actual returns may be higher or lower than projected, and you may experience losses.

All blockchain transactions require payment of network transaction fees ("gas fees"). These fees are:

• Paid directly to network validators, not to Altera
• Variable based on network congestion and transaction complexity
• Non-refundable, even if transactions fail
• Your sole responsibility to pay

Certain Service features may involve protocol fees:

• Swap fees: A small percentage of each swap may be retained by liquidity providers
• Liquidity provision fees: Fees earned from trades go to liquidity providers
• Staking fees: No additional fees beyond gas for staking operations

Specific fee structures are displayed in the user interface before you confirm any transaction.

The Service integrates with third-party protocols (such as Uniswap). These protocols may charge their own fees, which are separate from any Altera fees and are governed by the respective protocols' terms.

The Service, including but not limited to its design, graphics, text, code, interfaces, and all other content (excluding user-contributed content and open-source components), is owned by Altera and protected by intellectual property laws.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for its intended purposes.

• Copy, modify, or distribute any part of the Service without permission
• Use the Altera name, logo, or branding without written consent
• Create derivative works based on the Service
• Remove any copyright or proprietary notices
• Use the Service to develop competing products

Certain components of the Service may be open-source software. Your use of such components is subject to the applicable open-source licenses, which may differ from these Terms.

• WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
• FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
