1) Extreme Risk; Possible Total Loss
PARTICIPATION IN OR INTERACTION WITH THE PROTOCOL, TREASURY, GAMES, TOKENS, OR ANY RELATED MECHANISMS IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVES A HIGH RISK OF LOSS. YOU CAN LOSE ALL AMOUNTS CONTRIBUTED, AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE OF PROFIT, RETURN, LIQUIDITY, OR RECOVERY. DIGITAL ASSET VALUES CAN DROP TO ZERO, MARKETS MAY DISAPPEAR, SMART CONTRACTS CAN FAIL, AND UPGRADES OR FORKS CAN BREAK INTEGRATIONS. IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO LOSE 100% OF YOUR FUNDS, DO NOT PARTICIPATE.

5) Regulatory Position; No Admissions
The LMS-style game and related mechanics are intended to operate as transparent, deterministic, rules-based mechanisms. However, no representation or warranty is made that regulators will agree with any particular legal characterization. Agencies (including the SEC, CFTC, state securities regulators, state money-transmitter authorities, gambling/sweepstakes regulators, and tax authorities) may assert jurisdiction or contrary positions. Laws evolve rapidly and may change without notice. You bear all regulatory risk associated with your participation.
Securities/Investment Laws: No statement herein is an admission that interests are, or are not, “securities” under U.S. or foreign law. Any analysis under Howey, Reves, or analogous tests is fact-specific and may change over time.
Commodities/Derivatives: No assurance is made as to exemptions from or compliance with CFTC/NFA or foreign analogs.
Money Transmission/EMI: Treasury logic is designed for closed-loop program execution; nonetheless, authorities may view activities as money transmission or similar.
Gambling/Lottery/Sweepstakes: Outcomes are intended to be rule-based and non-random; regulators may still characterize elements as gambling or promotional activity subject to licensing or registration.
