Critical Warning
The Rubicon protocol is experimental software operating in the high-risk domain of decentralized finance (DeFi). Interacting with the protocol or $RUBI exposes you to risks that could result in the complete loss of your funds. Before interacting with Rubicon, you must understand and accept these risks.
Key Risks
- Smart Contract Risk: Despite thorough auditing and testing, smart contracts may contain bugs or vulnerabilities that could be exploited.
- Market Risk: Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile. Sudden price movements can affect your positions and potentially lead to losses or trade execution at a loss.
- Liquidity Risk: Providing liquidity (LP/Aquila/AMM) has risks related to loss, underperformance relative to holding, impermenant loss, and toxic arbitrage flow.
DeFi Security Context
The DeFi ecosystem has experienced numerous security incidents, with total losses exceeding billions of dollars (opens in a new tab). Major protocol exploits have ranged from a few million to hundreds of millions of dollars. Users must approach DeFi interactions with extreme caution and thorough due diligence.
Important Guidelines
- Never invest more than you can afford to lose
- Do your own research - Read and understand the smart contracts before interacting
- Start small - Test interactions with small amounts first
- Monitor your positions - DeFi requires active management
