Risk Disclosure

1. Summary of risks

Vorepo is an entertainment-trading platform. Prices of Repo Tickets fluctuate based on public GitHub data and trader flow. You can lose the entire amount of every fee you deposit. Past performance of a repository or platform is not indicative of future results. No outcome is promised.

2. Full loss of deposited fees is possible

Repo Ticket prices can go to the $0.01 floor. If you hold positions when that happens, you may recover only a small fraction of what you paid. Additionally, trading fees (1.0%–1.5% per side) accumulate with each trade — frequent trading quickly erodes capital.

3. Price volatility

• Repo Tickets can move ±30% in 24 hours under normal conditions
• "Viral" repositories can experience 100%+ moves within a week, followed by rapid decay
• Thinly-traded tickers are susceptible to larger moves on smaller order sizes
• Release-decay penalties kick in after 7 days of repository inactivity, creating downward pressure

4. Liquidity risk

Trades settle against a bonding-curve reserve pool. While the reserve guarantees your ability to exit at the current market price, large positions will experience price impact — your sale itself moves the price down. Position limits of 5% of supply or $10,000 notional are in place but may not prevent meaningful impact.

5. Manipulation risk

vorepo implements 5 layers of anti-manipulation defense (weighted stargazer trust, circuit breakers, economic bonds, identity tiers, legal policy). Despite these:

• Coordinated star campaigns on Twitter/Discord may move prices before our detection systems catch them
• Insider trading by repository maintainers is possible — we require disclosure but cannot prevent undisclosed insiders
• Whale concentration risk: single large traders can influence prices of smaller-market tickers
• Scanning for manipulation is never 100% effective; you may be buying into a manipulation you didn't know about

6. Technology risk

• Platform downtime (target 99% uptime but not guaranteed)
• Smart-contract bugs in USDC / Solana — outside our control
• Solana network congestion can delay withdrawals
• Front-end code or browser extensions may be compromised
• API key leakage (your responsibility)

7. Custodial risk

vorepo holds USDC in reserve pools during your active positions. Hot wallet security measures apply but are not perfect. Insurance fund (0.1% of fees) covers some scenarios but not all. Withdrawals are automated; manual withdrawal is not available during maintenance windows.

8. Regulatory risk

vorepo operates as a closed-loop entertainment platform and is not regulated as a securities exchange, broker-dealer, or money service business. Regulatory frameworks for crypto-settled synthetic instruments are evolving rapidly. Possibilities:

• MiCA (EU) becomes operative July 1, 2026 — we may need to pivot model or exit EU
• National regulators may classify Repo Tickets as securities retrospectively
• Geoblock may be expanded; users may lose access without notice
• Tax treatment of gains/losses is unclear in many jurisdictions

9. Tax risk

You are solely responsible for determining and paying your tax obligations. vorepo reports to your national tax authority under DAC8 (effective Jan 1, 2026) but does not provide tax advice. Consult a qualified tax professional.
