General Risk

This documentation provides an overview of the hBTC protocol and its associated risks for informational purposes only. It does not constitute investment, legal, or tax advice, nor does it assess the suitability of hBTC for any particular investor.

Participation in hBTC involves exposure to crypto-asset markets, smart contract systems, and decentralized financial infrastructure, all of which carry inherent risks. The specific risk categories described in this documentation are not exhaustive, and additional risks may arise due to market conditions, technological developments, regulatory changes, or unforeseen events.

Prospective participants should conduct their own independent analysis, including legal, tax, accounting, and risk assessments, before deploying capital.

A comprehensive Risk Disclosure Statement, including general crypto-asset risks and legal disclaimers, is provided separately and should be reviewed in conjunction with this documentation.
