Risk Warning

Participating in cryptocurrency projects, decentralized exchanges, and utility token ecosystems carries a high degree of financial and technical risk. The value of $BTNM and all digital assets can fall to zero. You should never invest funds you cannot afford to lose entirely.

Bitnium is a decentralized, non-custodial platform. This means there is no central authority, company, or individual capable of reversing transactions, recovering lost funds, or compensating users for losses of any kind. All interactions with the Bitnium smart contracts are final and irreversible once confirmed on the Ethereum blockchain.

The price of $BTNM and all cryptocurrencies is subject to extreme volatility. Market prices can rise or fall dramatically within very short periods — sometimes within minutes — due to factors entirely outside the control of Bitnium. These factors include but are not limited to:

• Broader cryptocurrency market sentiment and macroeconomic conditions.
• News, social media activity, and public perception of the Bitnium project or the wider crypto market.
• Large buy or sell orders from individual wallets affecting token price on exchanges.
• Changes in liquidity pool depth on the Bitnium DEX or third-party exchanges listing $BTNM.
• Ethereum network congestion, gas price spikes, or protocol-level changes.

Past price performance of $BTNM is not indicative of future results. Any projections, estimates, or price targets referenced in Bitnium materials are speculative and should not be relied upon as financial forecasts.

The Bitnium platform is built on smart contract technology deployed on the Ethereum blockchain. While all smart contracts are developed with rigorous security practices, no smart contract or blockchain application can be guaranteed to be entirely free from bugs, vulnerabilities, or unexpected behaviour.

Technology-related risks users should be aware of include:

• Smart Contract Bugs: Undiscovered code vulnerabilities may be exploited, resulting in partial or total loss of tokens or funds interacting with the contract.
• Ethereum Network Failures: Downtime, congestion, or protocol upgrades on the Ethereum network may temporarily or permanently disrupt the ability to use the DEX or transfer $BTNM.
• Irreversible Transactions: All on-chain transactions are permanent. Sending tokens to the wrong address, interacting with a malicious contract, or approving fraudulent transactions cannot be reversed by Bitnium or any other party.
• Front-End Risks: The Bitnium website interface may experience outages, rendering or display errors, or be temporarily unavailable. Underlying smart contracts remain independent of the front end.
• Wallet Compatibility: Not all Ethereum wallets may support $BTNM or interact correctly with Bitnium smart contracts. Always verify compatibility before proceeding.

There is no guarantee that there will be a liquid market for $BTNM at any given time. Liquidity on the Bitnium DEX and any third-party exchanges listing $BTNM depends entirely on market participants and liquidity providers, and can change rapidly without notice.

• You may be unable to sell or exchange your $BTNM tokens at your desired price, or at all, during periods of low liquidity.
• Large trades relative to available liquidity may result in significant price slippage, meaning the actual execution price may differ substantially from the quoted price.
• Liquidity providers may withdraw their liquidity from pools at any time, further reducing available market depth.
• Bitnium does not guarantee, manage, or control liquidity on any exchange — decentralized or centralized — where $BTNM may be traded.

The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies, utility tokens, and decentralized finance (DeFi) is rapidly evolving and differs significantly across jurisdictions. Changes in law or regulation in your country or globally may adversely affect your ability to use the Bitnium platform or hold $BTNM tokens.

• Governments may introduce legislation that restricts, bans, or heavily taxes cryptocurrency transactions or DeFi activity.
• Regulators may classify $BTNM as a security or other regulated instrument in certain jurisdictions, impacting its legal status and your ability to hold or trade it.
• Anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) requirements may be extended to decentralized platforms in some regions.
• Sanctions or trade restrictions imposed by international bodies may affect access to the platform from certain regions.

It is your sole responsibility to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction. Bitnium accepts no liability for any regulatory consequences arising from your use of the platform.

Despite implementing industry-standard security practices, the Bitnium platform and its users remain exposed to cybersecurity threats inherent to blockchain and internet-based technology. You should be aware of the following risks:

• Phishing Attacks: Malicious actors may create fake websites, social media accounts, or communications impersonating Bitnium in order to steal your wallet credentials or private keys.
• Malware & Keyloggers: Malicious software on your device may compromise your wallet security, seed phrase, or private keys without your knowledge.
• Smart Contract Exploits: Attackers may identify and exploit vulnerabilities in Bitnium smart contracts or third-party contracts integrated with the platform.
• DNS & Front-End Attacks: The Bitnium website domain or hosting infrastructure could be temporarily compromised, directing users to malicious interfaces.
• Social Engineering: You may be targeted by fraudsters posing as Bitnium team members or support staff requesting sensitive information.

Nothing published or communicated by Bitnium — including but not limited to the website, Whitepaper, blog posts, social media, community channels, or any team member communications — constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice of any kind.

All information provided by Bitnium is for general informational and educational purposes only. Any decision to acquire, hold, trade, or dispose of $BTNM tokens is made entirely at your own discretion and risk. Bitnium expressly disclaims any responsibility for financial decisions made in reliance on its content.

As a non-custodial platform, Bitnium does not hold, manage, or have any access to your wallet or tokens. This means that if you lose access to your wallet, the consequences are permanent and irreversible. Specific risks include:

• Lost Private Keys or Seed Phrase: If you lose your wallet's private key or seed phrase, access to your $BTNM tokens and all associated assets will be permanently lost. There is no recovery mechanism.
• Forgotten Passwords: Wallet passwords or hardware wallet PINs that are forgotten may render your wallet permanently inaccessible.
• Device Loss or Damage: Loss, theft, or destruction of the device holding your wallet without a backed-up seed phrase will result in permanent loss of access.
• Wallet Software Failures: Bugs or failures in third-party wallet software may affect your ability to access or manage your tokens.

You are solely responsible for the safekeeping of your private keys, seed phrases, and wallet credentials. Bitnium strongly recommends storing seed phrases offline in multiple secure locations.

The Bitnium ecosystem interacts with various third-party services, protocols, and infrastructure providers. Bitnium has no control over these third parties and accepts no responsibility for losses arising from their actions, failures, or vulnerabilities. Third-party risks include:

• DEX Aggregators & Liquidity Protocols: Third-party DeFi protocols integrated with the Bitnium DEX may be exploited or fail, affecting your ability to trade.
• Blockchain Infrastructure Providers: Services such as RPC node providers (e.g. Infura, Alchemy) may experience outages that temporarily prevent access to the platform.
• Centralised Exchanges (CEX): If $BTNM is listed on centralised exchanges, those platforms carry their own counterparty and custodial risks entirely independent of Bitnium.
• Ethereum Protocol Changes: Upgrades, forks, or changes to the Ethereum network itself may affect the functionality or value of $BTNM.

The acquisition, holding, trading, and disposal of $BTNM tokens may have tax implications in your jurisdiction. Tax treatment of cryptocurrencies varies significantly by country and is subject to change as governments introduce new guidance and legislation.

You are solely responsible for determining and fulfilling your own tax obligations in relation to any transactions involving $BTNM. This may include — but is not limited to — capital gains tax, income tax, VAT, or other levies depending on your jurisdiction and the nature of your activity.

By accessing the Bitnium platform, visiting bitnium.org, or interacting with any Bitnium smart contract or $BTNM token, you confirm that you have read, understood, and fully accepted all risks described in this Risk Warning and in the Bitnium Terms & Conditions.

You further confirm that:

• You are of legal age in your jurisdiction to engage with cryptocurrency platforms and digital assets.
• You have sufficient knowledge and experience with blockchain technology, smart contracts, and decentralized finance to evaluate the risks involved.
• You are not accessing the platform from a jurisdiction where doing so is prohibited by law.
• Any funds used to acquire $BTNM are not proceeds of crime and are obtained from legitimate sources.
• You accept full personal responsibility for any losses incurred as a result of using the Bitnium platform or holding $BTNM tokens.
