Risks
While FunStake aims to provide a secure and rewarding experience, it’s important to be aware of potential risks involved. Transparency is key to maintaining trust, so here are some considerations to keep in mind:
Platform Dependency:
FunStake generates yields by staking participants’ assets into yield-generating platforms such as Burrow.finance and Here wallet liquid staking. This means that the performance and security of these third-party platforms can impact the overall rewards and safety of your investments. Although we carefully select reputable platforms, they are outside our direct control.
Smart Contract Risks: Like all decentralized applications, FunStake relies on smart contracts to automate and enforce rules. While our contracts are thoroughly tested and open-source for community examine, there is always a risk of bugs or vulnerabilities that could be exploited.
Blockchain Risks: FunStake operates on the NEAR Protocol, which means it inherits the risks associated with the underlying blockchain. Issues such as network congestion, forks, or attacks on the blockchain could potentially affect FunStake’s operations.
Regulatory Risks: The regulatory environment for decentralized finance is still evolving. Changes in laws or regulations could impact FunStake’s operations or the legality of using the platform in certain jurisdictions.
Market Volatility:
The yields generated by staking are subject to market conditions. Fluctuations in the value of assets staked in third-party platforms can affect the overall rewards.
Mitigation Measures
Careful Platform Selection: We carefully choose yield-generating platforms based on their reputation, security, and performance.
Code Audits: While our smart contracts are not yet audited by third-party companies, they are open-source for community review and feedback. We are committed to having our smart contracts audited in the future to ensure the highest level of security and reliability.
Decentralization: By operating entirely on-chain, FunStake minimizes reliance on off-chain components, enhancing transparency and security
User Education: We provide clear documentation and support to help users understand the platform and associated risks.
By being aware of these risks and our mitigation strategies, you can make informed decisions when participating in FunStake. Our goal is to provide a safe and enjoyable experience while maintaining the highest standards of transparency and security.
