Risk Disclaimer

Last updated: April 2026

1. General Risk Warning

Automated market making in cryptocurrency markets is a high-risk activity. The value of your position can fall as well as rise, and you may lose some or all of the capital you have deposited. Past performance, back-tests, simulations or any displayed performance figures are not indicative of future results. You are solely responsible for assessing whether the Service is suitable for you and, where appropriate, for seeking independent professional advice.

2. Market Risk

Crypto-asset prices are highly volatile. The assets that make up the pool (USDT, XRP and any other supported asset) can experience sharp, sudden and sustained moves driven by market sentiment, macroeconomic conditions, regulatory announcements, exchange incidents, protocol failures, or concentrated trading activity. Because the pool holds an inventory of the underlying asset (not pure cash), unfavourable price moves directly reduce the NAV and your share value, regardless of how the market-making algorithm performs.

3. Inventory & Strategy Risk

The market-making algorithm earns spread revenue by quoting bids and asks around a target inventory. Under trending or one-sided markets the algorithm can accumulate directional inventory faster than it can be rebalanced, producing unrealised losses that may or may not recover. The platform applies graduated risk controls (cautious / reduce-only / emergency) intended to slow or stop quoting once imbalance exceeds preset thresholds, but these controls cannot eliminate strategy risk and may themselves cause missed revenue opportunities.

4. Liquidity Risk

Withdrawals are processed against the pool's current inventory. During periods of extreme volatility or one-sided flow, a requested withdrawal may temporarily be queued until the pool can rebalance without forcing a disadvantageous trade. While we aim to process withdrawals promptly, we do not guarantee fixed withdrawal timing in stressed market conditions.

5. Technology & Operational Risk

The Service relies on complex software, third-party APIs and external infrastructure. Failures at any layer can cause missed trades, incorrect pricing, delayed deposits or withdrawals, or temporary unavailability. Examples include but are not limited to:

• MEXC API downtime, rate limits, or order-book malfunctions;
• blockchain network congestion, reorganisations, or consensus failures;
• loss of connectivity between the platform and the exchange;
• software bugs, misconfigurations, or deployment errors;
• cybersecurity incidents affecting platform or third-party systems.

While we take reasonable steps to minimise these risks, we cannot guarantee uninterrupted, error-free operation.

6. Custody & Counterparty Risk

User assets are held in custody by the Operator and, in the case of pool positions, in platform-operated sub-accounts on MEXC Global. This means you are exposed to the credit-worthiness and operational integrity of both the Operator and MEXC. If MEXC were to suffer insolvency, regulatory enforcement action, a security breach, or a prolonged outage, access to pool assets could be delayed, restricted, or — in extreme scenarios — lost. The Operator's custody and HD-wallet infrastructure carries analogous risks.

7. Regulatory Risk

The regulatory landscape for crypto-assets and automated trading is evolving rapidly, including under the EU's MiCAR framework. Changes in applicable law, the interpretation of existing law, or enforcement priorities may force the Operator to suspend, restrict, redesign or terminate the Service in some or all jurisdictions on short notice. Such changes may also impose additional KYC, reporting or tax obligations on users.

8. Smart-Contract & Asset-Specific Risk

Some supported assets (for example USDT issued on Ethereum) rely on smart contracts, centralised issuers, or reserve backing. A failure, exploit, depeg, freeze, or migration affecting the underlying asset can directly and permanently impair the value of pool holdings denominated in that asset. These risks are independent of the market-making strategy and cannot be mitigated at the platform level.

9. No Investment Advice

Nothing on the AccrueLabs platform — including dashboard metrics, pool descriptions, communications, or this document — constitutes investment, legal, tax, or other professional advice. You should conduct your own due diligence and, where appropriate, consult a qualified advisor before making any decision to deposit funds.

10. Only Invest What You Can Afford to Lose

You should only deposit capital that you can afford to lose in full without materially affecting your standard of living or financial obligations. Do not deposit funds needed for rent, essential expenses, debt service, emergency reserves, or retirement.

11. Acknowledgement

By using the Service you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted the risks described above, together with the risks set out in our Terms & Conditions and Regulatory Notice.
