Risk disclosure
Updated July 16, 2026Non-custodial does not mean risk-free
Oqto Inc. does not hold your private keys or maintain an offchain account balance for you. This removes Oqto’s ability to move or recover wallet assets, but it does not protect against a compromised wallet, incorrect approval, malicious token, contract defect, market loss, network failure, or transaction sent to the wrong address. Onchain transactions are generally irreversible.
Loss and volatility
Low-cap tokens can move sharply, have thin or one-sided liquidity, and become difficult or impossible to sell. Market-cap displays can change quickly and do not represent cash available to exit. Slippage protection limits the execution you authorize; it does not guarantee a price or prevent loss.
Permissionless tokens
Anyone can launch a token or create a pool. Names, symbols, images, websites, social links, and descriptions can be false or misleading. A token may have no utility, identifiable team, enforceable rights, continuing development, or active market. Verify the contract address and perform your own assessment.
Bonding and graduation
Curve pricing changes with inventory. Graduation moves liquidity into the configured pool after the onchain threshold is reached, but transaction ordering, block conditions, rounding, oracle state, and gas can affect execution. Permanent seed liquidity cannot be withdrawn; it does not guarantee demand, price stability, or that later liquidity remains.
Swaps and external routes
A displayed route can become stale before execution. Oqto pools, primary-quote multi-hop paths, and external venues can return different prices or fail independently. External contracts are outside Oqto’s control. Minimum-output and deadline checks reduce execution uncertainty but do not eliminate failed transactions, network fees, adverse ordering, or third-party contract risk.
Liquidity provision
Liquidity providers face impermanent loss, adverse selection, inventory conversion, fee-tier competition, smart-contract risk, and out-of-range capital. One-sided and custom deposits can become fully converted into the other asset. Spot, Curve, and Bid-Ask describe bin distributions, not returns. APR is historical and can change immediately.
Managed vaults
Vault shares represent a proportional claim under the vault contract; they are not a deposit account with Oqto Inc. A keeper can invoke only the compound and rebalance operations permitted by the code, but automation can execute at an unfavorable time, realize losses, consume gas, fail its price checks, or become unavailable. A vault may remain out of range and may earn no fees.
Approvals and keys
Token approvals authorize a contract to transfer assets within the allowance. Oqto uses exact allowances for external routes and reusable allowances for identified Oqto contracts, but malicious software, a compromised device, or an incorrect spender can still cause loss. Never share a seed phrase or private key.
Technical dependencies
Supported blockchain networks, wallets, quote assets, pools, price feeds, RPCs, indexers, charts, metadata, and routing services can fail or be compromised. Displayed balances and analytics may lag behind chain state. When live data is unavailable, the interface may disable actions or show an unavailable state.
Fees and rewards
Pool fees, protocol fees, company fees, creator rewards, network fees, and external venue fees reduce the amount retained from an activity. Fee rates, reward emissions, volumes, and eligible recipients can change under the applicable contract rules. Historical fees, APR, volume, or creator earnings do not predict future results.
Legal and tax effects
Token creation, trading, rewards, referrals, and liquidity activity can have legal, reporting, or tax consequences depending on the user and location. You are responsible for understanding the rules that apply to you.
