Understanding Risks
Impermanent Loss:
- Liquidity provision carries IL risk
- More severe in volatile pairs
- Mitigated by emissions and fees over time
- Use stable pairs for lower IL
Smart Contract Risk:
- All DeFi carries contract risk
- Dexlyn contracts should be audited
- Never invest more than you can lose
- Diversify across protocols
Lock Duration Risk:
- Tokens locked for years are illiquid
- Choose durations you’re comfortable with
- Can’t unlock early even in emergencies
- Start with shorter locks to test
Voting Risk:
- Voting for low-liquidity pools might yield little
- Vote resets when merging/splitting/transferring
- Cost 1 DXLYN to update votes
- Choose votes carefully each epoch
