- Understand the nature of the products they are buying or selling
- Have sufficient knowledge and experience to evaluate the risks

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. You should seek independent financial advice if you are uncertain.
2. Crypto & Digital Asset Risks
Cryptocurrency transactions carry unique risks, including but not limited to:
- <strong>Price volatility</strong> — crypto prices can change dramatically within minutes, leading to significant losses
- <strong>Market liquidity</strong> — thin markets can result in large spreads, slippage, or inability to execute
- <strong>Regulatory uncertainty</strong> — laws governing crypto are evolving and may change without notice
- <strong>Network risk</strong> — blockchain congestion, forks, or protocol failures may delay or prevent transactions
- <strong>Irreversibility</strong> — confirmed blockchain transactions generally cannot be reversed; sending to the wrong address typically results in permanent loss
- <strong>Custodial risk</strong> — if Swaply holds your assets, you are exposed to counterparty risk
- <strong>Cybersecurity risk</strong> — wallets and exchanges are high-value targets for hackers
Crypto is not insured
