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
