Risk Disclosure

By using live execution features in SHIRO, you acknowledge that you understand each of the risks below.

1. Market & volatility risk

On-chain assets — particularly memecoins and newly launched tokens — can move 50%+ in minutes. Liquidity can vanish without warning. Historical data, AI summaries, and signal scores are not predictions and do not guarantee future returns.

2. Irreversibility

Solana transactions are final. Once a swap is signed and confirmed, it cannot be reversed, refunded, or canceled — not by you, not by us, not by anyone. There is no chargeback.

3. Smart-contract risk

Tokens are smart contracts. They may have hidden mint functions, freeze authorities, blacklists, transfer taxes, or rug-pull mechanics. SHIRO surfaces signals that may indicate risk (mint/freeze authority, top-10 holder concentration, LP-locked %, sniper count, contract age) but cannot guarantee any token is safe. A token can appear clean and rug seconds later.

4. Slippage & MEV

Your trade may execute at a worse price than the quote shown, especially in volatile or low-liquidity conditions. SHIRO offers MEV-protected routing via Jito bundles where available, but does not eliminate sandwich attacks, front-running, or price impact in all cases. Your slippage tolerance setting caps the worst-case downside you authorize.

5. RPC & infrastructure failure

SHIRO routes transactions through Jito, Helius, and public RPC endpoints. These services can degrade or fail. Your transaction may be delayed, dropped, or land at an unintended price. Failed transactions still consume gas (Solana "fee for failed tx").

6. Phishing & wallet security

Always verify the URL is shiroterminal.com before signing. Confirm transaction details in your wallet popup before approving. SHIRO will never ask for your seed phrase. If a flow asks you to approve unlimited token spend without context, reject it.

7. Tax & regulatory

Crypto trading is taxable in most jurisdictions. You are responsible for tracking your gains/losses and reporting them. Regulatory treatment of digital assets is evolving. Consult a qualified tax and legal advisor.

8. No fiduciary

Shiro Labs is not your broker, advisor, or fiduciary. We do not owe you a duty of care beyond operating the Service competently. Signals, scores, and AI summaries are tools — not advice.

9. Beta status

SHIRO is in private beta. Bugs, mispriced quotes, missed alerts, and data lags are possible. We log everything we can to make incidents recoverable, but the Service is provided "AS IS" with no warranty.

10. Limits we enforce

To reduce blast radius, SHIRO enforces per-trade and 24-hour notional caps that scale with subscription tier. We may also enforce per-token cooldowns after failures and reject trades where rug-signal scores cross thresholds. These are safety nets, not insurance.

11. Trendline (prediction markets)

Trendline is a separate surface within SHIRO with its own risk profile. The risks below are in addition to the trading risks above and apply even though Trendline is paper-mode at launch.

• Paper-mode is not money. Trendline currently simulates positions, balances, and PnL against a synthetic paper account. No real funds are at risk and no payout is owed by Shiro Labs in paper mode. Past simulated performance is not predictive of future on-chain performance.
• Resolution risk. Markets are resolved by a two-of-N admin multisig after a 24-hour dispute window, with an evidence URI and hash recorded on-record. Resolution is a human judgment call against a written criterion. We may resolve differently than you expected, and may resolve a market as INVALID where the outcome is genuinely ambiguous, the data source has disappeared, or the criterion turned out to be poorly specified — in which case cost basis is refunded but opportunity cost is not.
• Oracle and data-source risk. Where an oracle is available (for example, the YouTube Data API for video-metric markets), it is used as an input to the admin's resolution decision — not as the final word. Public APIs change their terms, throttle, return inconsistent counts, or go offline. The underlying real-world counts (views, followers, scores, release dates) can also be revised retroactively by the data owner.
• AMM mechanics. Trendline prices are produced by an automated market maker. Quotes can move materially between preview and execution, especially on thin markets or near a market's deadline. Your slippage tolerance caps the worst price you authorize.
• On-chain mode (future). A future on-chain version of Trendline is planned and is currently disabled. If and when it launches, it will introduce all of the live-trading risks above (irreversibility, MEV, RPC failure, smart-contract risk in the Trendline program itself) and a separate risk acknowledgment will be required.
