Risk Disclosure

1. INTRODUCTION

In line with regulatory expectations and industry best practices, Oximas issues this Risk Disclosure to outline the principal risks associated with using decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) staking services and related digital-asset features on our platform. This document is not exhaustive. You should conduct your own research, consider your financial circumstances and risk tolerance, and obtain independent professional advice before participating.

2. PURPOSE OF THIS POLICY

The objectives of this Policy are to:

(a) Inform users and prospective users about material risks inherent in Oximas’s staking and DAO-based services.

(b) Improve understanding of decentralized networks, validator mechanics, and smart-contract based operations.

(c) Promote responsible, informed participation aligned with each user’s financial profile and risk appetite.

(d) Support transparency in our risk communications and platform governance.

(e) Demonstrate Oximas’s commitment to clear, ethical, client-focused disclosures.

This Policy supports Oximas’s goal of enabling users to make informed choices about DAO staking and related features.

3. SCOPE OF APPLICATION

This Policy applies to:

(a) All users and prospective users accessing Oximas services involving staking, delegation, validator operations, and DAO participation.

(b) All agreements, accounts, and transactions executed through Oximas interfaces and smart contracts.

(c) All digital interfaces and channels managed or owned by Oximas.

(d) All Oximas staff involved in operations, support, or communications related to staking and DAO services.

This Policy remains effective until updated or replaced. Users should review it periodically.

4. GENERAL DIGITAL-ASSET RISK WARNING

Participation in digital-asset ecosystems involves substantial risk. Prices are volatile and may decline rapidly. You could lose some or all of the value of your digital assets. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Only commit assets you can afford to lose and consider independent advice where appropriate.

5. MARKET & LIQUIDITY RISKS

Digital-asset markets are highly volatile and can be illiquid. Sudden market moves may materially affect the value of your staked assets and rewards. Secondary-market conditions may impair your ability to rebalance, exit positions, or convert rewards at desired prices or times.

6. STAKING, VALIDATOR & SLASHING RISKS

Staking involves delegating assets to validators. Poor validator performance, downtime, misconfiguration, or malicious behavior may lead to slashing (protocol-level penalties) or loss of a portion of staked assets and/or rewards. Network changes can alter slashing parameters without notice.

Rewards are not guaranteed and may fluctuate due to network inflation, participation rate, validator performance, MEV dynamics, and protocol rules. Actual returns may differ from projections.

7. SMART CONTRACT & PROTOCOL RISKS

Oximas services may rely on smart contracts and third-party protocols. Smart contracts can contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or economic design flaws that may be exploited, leading to loss of funds. Protocol governance, upgrades, or parameter changes can affect functionality, yields, or asset recoverability.

8. NETWORK, OPERATIONAL & TECHNOLOGY RISKS

(a) Blockchain networks can experience congestion, forks, re-orgs, or outages that delay transactions, rewards, or withdrawals.

(b) Internet connectivity, API providers, node operators, oracles, and other infrastructure may fail or degrade.

(c) Latency, software bugs, or maintenance windows can impact service availability or displayed information.

(d) Where applicable, transaction fees (gas) are variable and can spike, affecting cost and timing.

9. CUSTODY, KEY MANAGEMENT & SECURITY RISKS

If you self-custody, you are solely responsible for safeguarding your private keys, seed phrases, hardware wallets, and devices. Loss or compromise can result in permanent loss of access to assets. If you use custodial features (where offered), you are subject to the custodian’s controls and residual risks.

Phishing, malware, social engineering, and other attacks are prevalent in crypto ecosystems. Maintain up-to-date security practices and verify all communications and addresses before transacting.

10. LOCK-UPS, UNSTAKING & WITHDRAWAL RISKS

Many networks enforce bonding, lock-up, or unbonding periods. During these times you may be unable to transfer, trade, or use staked assets. Unstaking or withdrawal queues can be delayed by network conditions, validator churn, or protocol rules and are outside Oximas’s direct control.

11. REWARD VARIABILITY & CALCULATION

Advertised or historical APY/APR figures are estimates only and may change without notice. Actual rewards depend on multiple factors including network inflation, validator performance, downtime, fees, MEV distribution, participation rates, and compounding policy. Rewards may be paused, reduced, or missed.

12. FORKS, GOVERNANCE & PROTOCOL CHANGES

Governance decisions, protocol upgrades, and contentious forks may affect staking mechanics, token economics, and asset availability. Not all forks or airdrops are supported. Oximas may exercise discretion in supporting network events to protect users and platform integrity.

13. TAXATION

Staking rewards and token disposals may be taxable in your jurisdiction. Tax treatment varies and may change. Oximas does not provide tax advice. You are responsible for determining and fulfilling your tax obligations, including record-keeping and filings.

14. REGULATORY & LEGAL RISKS

Digital-asset regulations continue to evolve. Changes in law, guidance, or enforcement could impact your ability to use Oximas services, the legal status of certain assets, or the economics of staking. Access to services may be restricted based on your location or eligibility.

15. THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS

Oximas may rely on third-party validators, node operators, indexers, data providers, custodians, oracles, and other vendors. Failures or misconduct by third parties can cause losses or service disruption. Oximas endeavors to vet providers but cannot eliminate third-party risk.

16. USER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

By using Oximas’s platform, you acknowledge and accept that:

• Digital assets can lose value rapidly; you may lose some or all of your assets.
• Past results and displayed projections (e.g., APY/APR) are not guarantees of future returns.
• Network events (congestion, slashing, forks) and smart-contract risks can impair access to, or result in loss of, assets and rewards.
• Lock-ups and unbonding may delay withdrawals; fees and timing depend on network conditions.
• Security of your devices, keys, and accounts is your responsibility where you self-custody.
• Regulatory, tax, and legal outcomes vary by jurisdiction; you are responsible for compliance.

By agreeing to this Policy, you confirm your understanding of the risks involved in staking, delegation, and DAO participation through the Oximas platform and related smart-contract systems. This document is for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial, legal, or tax advice.
