This Risk Disclosure Statement ("Disclosure") describes certain material risks associated with participation in transactions conducted through the Tulpea Protocol.
By interacting with the Protocol, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted the risks described below.
This Disclosure does not purport to identify all possible risks. Participation may involve additional risks not expressly described herein.
1.
General Risk Warning
Participation in blockchain-based financial transactions, including lending, borrowing, or structured financing referencing real-world assets, is highly speculative and involves substantial risk of loss.
You may lose all funds committed.
There is no guarantee of principal preservation or return.
2.
Smart Contract Risk
The Protocol operates through smart contracts deployed on public blockchains.
Smart contracts may contain:
- Coding errors
- Vulnerabilities
- Exploitable logic flaws
- Undiscovered security issues
Even audited smart contracts may fail.
Exploits, hacks, or technical failures may result in partial or total loss of digital assets.
Tulpea Protocol does not guarantee the security of smart contracts.
3.
Blockchain and Network Risk
Transactions depend on third-party blockchain networks.
Risks include:
- Network congestion
- Validator failure
- Chain reorganization
- Forks
- Censorship
- Permanent chain disruption
The underlying blockchain may fail, cease operation, or become economically compromised.
4.
Digital Asset Volatility Risk
Digital assets are highly volatile.
Market prices may fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably.
Stablecoins may lose their peg.
Liquidity may disappear suddenly.
Adverse market movements may result in:
- Mark-to-market losses
- Liquidation
- Impaired exit
5.
Counterparty Risk
Certain transactions facilitated through the Protocol may involve offchain legal entities, including but not limited to:
- Special purpose vehicles
- Real estate holding companies

- Property damage
- Construction delay
- Zoning or licensing issues
- Title defects
- Lease termination

- Infrastructure collapse
Such events may materially affect asset value and revenue generation.
13.
