*️Risk
Providing liquidity on Capybara DEX has potential rewards and potential risks. Investors should conduct their own research and understand the risks fully before depositing. Again, DYOR (Do your own research); the risks described below are non-exhaustive, and you will need to make your own assessment of them.
Capybara DEX does not accept responsibility or liability for losses arising from depositing assets into the liquidity pools or from your general use of Capybara DEX.
Launchpad
Assets sold or distributed on Capybara DEX Launchpad may be "token assets." Price of token assets might fluctuates and there are risks in using token assets. For example, the token asset could fall victim to an exploit, which could adversely affect its value and cause it to lose its underlying value. In extreme cases, the token asset could become worthless.
Token assets
Assets that compose the liquidity pools on Capybara DEX may be "token assets." Price of token assets might fluctuates and there are risks in using token assets. For example, the token asset could fall victim to an exploit, which could adversely affect its value and cause it to lose its underlying value. In extreme cases, the token asset could become worthless. The change in the value of an asset may also affect the coverage ratio described below.
Pegged assets
Assets that compose the liquidity pools onCapybara DEX may be "pegged assets." Pegged assets are assets meant to track the underlying asset's value (such as how WBTC tracks the price of BTC). While pegged assets usually track the underlying asset's value very closely, there are risks in using pegged assets. For example, the pegged asset could fall victim to an exploit, which could adversely affect its value and cause it to de-peg from the underlying asset's value. In extreme cases, the pegged asset could become worthless. The change in the value of a pegged asset may also affect the coverage ratio described below.
Hacken, Peckshield, and Zokyo audited Wombat Exchange’s (which in turn is Capybara DEX's) smart contracts. However, security audits don't eliminate risks. Do not invest your life savings or any assets you cannot afford to lose, especially as a liquidity provider.
You are also encouraged to review the smart contracts and not rely wholly on the auditors.
Admin keys
Capybara DEX will transition to being completely decentralized in the future. Currently, the Capybara Emergency DAO has seven members who can act in times of danger of losing funds. The emergency DAO can call the function of Capybara EX Pool contracts,, which disables and reenables all functionality. Capybara DEX’s emergency DAO can add or remove emergency members.
Staking risks
Users interact with multiple smart contract products when staking, and each carries its risks. You should also understand the design of Capybara DEX's liquidity pools.
Coverage ratio
Capybara DEX's liquidity pools utilize a concept known as the "coverage ratio," which is a mechanism meant to help a pool return to equilibrium. If a pool has a severe imbalance, withdrawing assets with a low coverage ratio could result in a significant withdrawal fee.
You are strongly encouraged to read the information on the coverage ratio, as you need to understand the risks of adding liquidity to Capybara DEX's liquidity pools.
Infrastructure Risk
Capybara DEX is necessarily dependent on external infrastructure, such as those related to the blockchain network you are using. This means that disruption events, such as halting of the network and network and smart contract vulnerabilities, may impact your ability to conduct swaps on Capybara DEX and, more generally, your experience on Capybara DEX. In some cases, disruption events may also cause loss. Cross-chain swaps may introduce an additional layer of infrastructure risk because of the involvement of other infrastructure, such as the addition of the destination chain. While disruption events impact all blockchain-based applications equally, users should carefully consider how they could affect their Capybara DEX use.
MEV and Slippage
Although the algorithm underlying Capybara DEX is designed to minimize the effects of slippage on users, users should still be mindful that MEV and slippage may impact the final amount of tokens received in the destination chain.
Credit
Credit will allow users to swap into one token when its coverage ratio is 100% and vice versa. Depending on the liquidity of the token being swapped on the destination chain, cross-chain swaps may create imbalances in the liquidity pools, which ultimately affect the coverage ratio. Your cross-chain swap may fail if the destination chain lacks liquidity for the swapped token.
