Risk Disclosure

Last updated: 2026-05-25

Crypto assets and DeFi protocols are highly volatile, technically complex, and largely unregulated. Information on this site is descriptive, not predictive. Please read carefully before acting on anything you see here.

1. Not financial advice

Yield Lab is an analytics platform. Nothing on this site is investment advice, trading advice, tax advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell any digital asset. Always do your own research and consider consulting a qualified professional.

2. Volatility

Crypto-asset prices can move materially within hours. Past price movements do not predict future ones. APR and APY figures are snapshot-based and can swing dramatically as on-chain conditions change.

3. Smart-contract risk

DeFi protocols rely on smart contracts that may contain bugs, be exploited, or be upgraded in ways that materially change their behavior. The Service does not audit, verify, or warrant the security of any protocol it lists.

4. Impermanent loss and liquidity-provider risk

Providing liquidity to AMMs exposes you to impermanent loss, slippage, and the possibility that one side of a pair loses substantial value. Displayed APR/APY does not account for impermanent loss.

5. On-chain indicator risk

On-chain indicators (MVRV, Mayer Multiple, CVDD, SOPR, AVIV, etc.) describe historical patterns. Readings labeled "EXTREME", "STRONG", "WATCH", etc. are descriptive of zone thresholds derived from past data — they do NOT forecast future prices and have no predictive value.

6. Counterparty and bridge risk

Custodial services, exchanges, bridges, and centralized stablecoin issuers can fail, be sanctioned, freeze withdrawals, or de-peg without notice.

7. Regulatory risk

Cryptocurrency regulation varies by jurisdiction and changes frequently. Some products listed on the Service may be illegal or unavailable in your jurisdiction.

8. Total loss

You can lose all of your invested capital. Never deposit funds you cannot afford to lose entirely.
