General risk warning

Crypto-assets are highly volatile. Their value can fall to zero. They are not covered by deposit guarantee or investor compensation schemes.

Markets can move quickly and liquidity can dry up, meaning you may not be able to sell at the price you expect.

Networks can suffer bugs, attacks or forks. Transactions sent to the wrong address or network usually can't be reversed.

Staked assets may be locked for an unbonding period and rewards can change or be reduced by network penalties.

We publish sustainability indicators for each asset, including energy consumption of its consensus mechanism, as required by MiCA.
