Network conditions, third-party services, markets, or protocol updates can change outcomes. **There are no guaranteed returns.** Proceed only if you understand and accept these risks. *** #### 1. No Warranties; As-Is PrimeStaking and all related smart contracts, interfaces, tokens (including psXDC), NFTs, rewards, and documentation are provided **"as is" and "as available"** without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties. #### 2. Smart Contract & Security Risks Interacting with smart contracts involves risks including bugs, design flaws, upgrade errors, dependency failures, and economic attacks. Even audited contracts do **not guarantee** absence of vulnerabilities. You may lose funds due to exploits or unexpected behavior. #### 3. Network & Validator Risks Rewards and redemptions depend on third-party networks (e.g., XDC Network). Network halts, forks, validator downtime, or congestion can reduce yields, delay queue-based withdrawal processing (subject to the network's `candidateWithdrawDelay` — approximately 35 days under typical block times, longer under congestion), or impair liquidity. #### 4. Derivative & Peg Risks psXDC v3 is an ERC-4626 vault share whose value tracks a vault exchange rate (`totalAssets / totalShares`), not a fixed 1:1 ratio with XDC. The share's market price on a DEX may trade below, at, or above its current NAV and may not be redeemable immediately when the protocol's liquid buffer is insufficient. #### 5. Smart Contract Custody Validator key management and staked assets are managed by on-chain smart contracts. While these contracts are audited, they may contain undiscovered vulnerabilities. We do not guarantee the absence of bugs or exploits in custody contracts. #### 6. Variable Rewards Any APY, multiplier, or reward figure is **illustrative only, subject to change, and not guaranteed**. Rewards can fluctuate to zero. Historical performance does not indicate future results. #### 7. User Responsibilities You are solely responsible for private keys, wallet security, address accuracy, transaction review, and understanding contract addresses. #### 8. Regulatory & Tax You are responsible for complying with applicable laws, including sanctions, AML/CTF, and tax reporting. Access may be restricted in certain jurisdictions. #### 9. No Investment Advice Nothing herein constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. #### 10. Limitation of Liability To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or assets. #### 11. Indemnity You agree to indemnify and hold harmless PrimeStaking and its contributors from claims arising from your use or violation of these terms. *** > **Binding by Use:** By connecting a wallet, interacting with our interfaces, staking XDC (including receiving psXDC or staking via NFTs), or otherwise using PrimeStaking, you acknowledge and accept this Risk Disclosure & Disclaimer. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
