# Risk Disclosure

*PropBlock AI operates at the intersection of blockchain technology, AI, and real-world assets. While we implement robust safeguards, users must acknowledge these inherent risks:*

### ***Protocol Risks***

1. ***Smart Contract Exposure***
   * *PropBlock’s smart contracts are audited but remain experimental. Vulnerabilities could lead to fund loss.*
   * *95% of protocol fees fund a **$50M Insurance Vault** (Chainlink-proofed reserves).*
2. ***AI Model Limitations***
   * *Predictive valuations may fail to account for black swan events (e.g., pandemics, regulatory shocks).*
   * *Models retrain weekly using federated learning across 10,000+ properties.*
3. ***Liquidity Risks***
   * *Secondary markets depend on participant activity. Illiquid assets may trade below intrinsic value.*
   * ***Base Chain’s DEX Liquidity**: Minimum $250k per property pool backed by Uniswap v3.*

### ***Operational Risks***

| Risk                  | Mitigation                                             |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| Service interruptions | Geographically distributed node operators              |
| Regulatory changes    | Legal wrappers for 15+ jurisdictions (MiCA, SEC Reg D) |
| Data breaches         | Zero-knowledge KYC (zkPass integration)                |

### ***Market Risks***

* ***Real Estate Volatility**:*\
  *AI rebalancing triggers auto-sell if property values drop >15% in 7 days.*
* ***Crypto Correlation**:*\
  *30-day trailing beta of PROP vs. ETH: 0.62 (as of Q2 2024).*

### ***No Regulatory Safeguards***

*PropBlock AI is not a registered securities platform, broker, or financial advisor. Key implications:*

* ***No Investor Protection**: Funds aren’t FDIC/SIPC insured.*
* ***Unsupervised AI**: Models aren’t audited by financial authorities.*
* ***Jurisdictional Bans**: Restricted in China, Russia, and sanctioned territories.*

### ***User Responsibilities***

*By using PropBlock AI, you agree to:*

1. ***Self-Custody Risks**:*
   * *You alone control wallet keys. PropBlock cannot recover lost credentials.*
2. ***Tax Compliance**:*
   * *Token trades/rentals may trigger capital gains liabilities.*
3. ***Due Diligence**:*
   * *Verify property SPV details via on-chain metadata (IPFS audits).*

### ***Risk Mitigation Tools***

1. ***Portfolio Stress Tester**:*\
   *Simulate 2008-level crashes or 20% rate hikes via AI dashboard.*
2. ***Circuit Breakers**:*

   *Trading halts if AI detects >25% abnormal volume spikes.*
3. ***Transparency Portal**:*\
   *Live audit of property cash flows, insurance reserves, and DAO votes.*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://propblock-ai.gitbook.io/propblock-ai/risk-disclosure.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
