❗Risks

Stackit is currently in the initial development stages and there are a variety of unforeseeable risks. You acknowledge and agree that there are numerous risks associated with using Stackit application. In the worst scenario, this could lead to the loss of all or part of your funds.

IF YOU DECIDE TO USE STACKIT APPLICATION, YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE, ACCEPT AND ASSUME THE FOLLOWING RISKS:

1. Uncertain Regulations and Enforcement Actions

The regulatory status of Stackit is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions. The regulation of digital assets has become a primary target of regulation in all major countries in the world. It is impossible to predict how, when or whether regulatory agencies may apply existing regulations or create new regulations with respect to such technology and its applications, including Stackit. Regulatory actions could negatively impact Stackit in various ways. The Company, the Distributor (or their respective affiliates) may cease operations in a jurisdiction in the event that regulatory actions, or changes to law or regulation, make it illegal to operate in such jurisdiction, or commercially undesirable to obtain the necessary regulatory approval(s) to operate in such jurisdiction.

2. Inadequate disclosure of information

As at the date hereof, Stackit is still under development and its design concepts, consensus mechanisms, algorithms, codes, and other technical details and parameters may be constantly and frequently updated and changed. Although this Documentation contains the most current information relating to Stackit, it is not absolutely complete and may still be adjusted and updated by the Stackit team from time to time. The Stackit team has neither the ability nor obligation to keep users informed of every detail (including development progress and expected milestones) regarding the project to develop Stackit, hence insufficient information disclosure is inevitable and reasonable.

3. Competitors

Various types of decentralised applications and networks are emerging at a rapid rate, and the industry is increasingly competitive. It is possible that alternative networks could be established that utilise the same or similar code and protocol underlying Stackit and attempt to re-create similar facilities. Stackit may be required to compete with these alternative networks, which could negatively impact Stackit.

5. Failure to develop

There is the risk that the development of Stackit will not be executed or implemented as planned, for a variety of reasons, including without limitation the event of a decline in the prices of any digital asset, virtual currency, unforeseen technical difficulties, and shortage of development funds for activities.

6. Security weaknesses

Hackers or other malicious groups or organisations may attempt to interfere with Stackit in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing and spoofing. Furthermore, there is a risk that a third party or a member of the Company, the Distributor or their respective affiliates may intentionally or unintentionally introduce weaknesses into the core infrastructure of Stackit, which could negatively affect Stackit.

Further, the future of cryptography and security innovations are highly unpredictable and advances in cryptography, or technical advances (including without limitation development of quantum computing), could present unknown risks to Stackit by rendering ineffective the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins that blockchain protocol.

7. Other risks

In addition, the potential risks briefly mentioned above are not exhaustive and there are other risks associated with your participation in Stackit. Such risks may further materialise as unanticipated variations or combinations of the aforementioned risks. You should conduct full due diligence on the Company, the Distributor, their respective affiliates, and the Stackit team, as well as understand the overall framework, mission and vision for Stackit prior to participating.
