Risks
What can go wrong, stated plainly.
The guarantees on this site are narrow on purpose. Here is what they do not cover.
Nothing here is a claim about price
A locked position, a fixed supply and an immutable fee are facts about mechanics. A token can be volatile, can be illiquid, and can lose all of its value with every one of those facts intact. Verdant does not review the projects that launch here, does not endorse them and does not give financial advice.
The contracts have not been audited
They have unit, fuzz, invariant and fork coverage, and are verified against a fork of the live chain before deployment. They have not received an independent audit or a public security contest. That is a real gap and it is stated rather than buried.
A creator can still disappoint you
The protocol constrains what a creator can do to a market's supply, fee and liquidity. It does not constrain what they say, whether they keep building, or what they do with an allocation once it vests. A market with a mutable metadata document can change its own description and image, and discloses that it can.
Timing is approximate at the edges
Fee stages advance on block timestamps, so a transition can occur slightly before or after a countdown, and a swap submitted close to one may execute under either fee.
An equity pair adds the issuer's risks to yours
A Stock-Paired market depends on a token issued by someone else, under terms they control. It can gap across a weekend while the pool trades continuously, and it can become illiquid independently of the market that is priced in it.
