Investment Risk

Baseline risk

All crypto-assets are risky, regardless of the type of token you hold. Here are some ‘baseline’ risks to be aware of before deciding to invest.

•

Investment risk: The performance of most crypto-assets can be highly volatile, with their value dropping as quickly as it can rise. You should be prepared to lose all the money you invest in crypto-assets.

•

Lack of protections: Crypto-assets are largely unregulated and neither the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) nor the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) will protect you in the event something goes wrong with your crypto-asset investments.

•

Crypto-assets are complex: It may be difficult to understand the risks associated with a crypto-asset investment. Do your own research and if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

•

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket: Putting all your money into a single type of investment is risky. Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on any one to do well. A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments such as crypto-assets.

Defi tokens

Decentralised Finance (or ‘DeFi’) tokens (e.g. , ) are crypto-assets linked to financial applications and protocols built on decentralised blockchain technology.

•

Smart contract risk: DeFi relies heavily on smart contracts. Even a minor coding error or oversight can lead to a contract being exploited, potentially resulting in significant losses for DeFi tokens.

•

Regulatory risk: DeFi operates in a decentralized manner, often without intermediaries or financial crime controls. Regulatory bodies across jurisdictions might introduce new regulations impacting the use, value, or legality of certain DeFi protocols or assets.

◦

For example, the Perpetual Protocol (PERP) and Quickstop (QUICK) protocols may be accessible in jurisdictions where some or all the available activity may need to be regulated now or in the future. If a regulator deemed the activity to be in breach of regulation, this could seriously impact token value.

•

Rug-pulls / Exit scams: Some DeFi projects might be launched by anonymous or pseudonymous teams, increasing the risk of "rug pulls" where developers abandon the project and withdraw funds, leaving investors with worthless tokens.

•

Data/oracle risk: DeFi protocols often rely on external data sources or ‘oracles’. Manipulation or inaccuracies in these data sources can lead to unintended financial outcomes within the protocols.

•

Protocol complexity: The complexity of some DeFi protocols can make it difficult for average users to fully understand the mechanisms and associated risks.

About Orca

ORCA is a Solana token that governs the Orca decentralized exchange. Orca aims to enable low-fee, near-instant token swaps using an automated market maker (AMM) model. On the exchange, users supply tokens to “liquidity pools” and algorithms set market prices based on supply and demand. ORCA can be used to vote on the future of the protocol.

Orca is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Solana blockchain. It operates as an Automated Market Maker (AMM), allowing users to swap assets, provide liquidity, and earn yield through a straightforward interface. Orca aims to make decentralized finance (DeFi) accessible to everyone by providing financial tools. It also functions as a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), meaning that holders of the ORCA token can participate in governance, formulating and refining proposals that guide the direction of the platform.

Orca operates around a Concentrated Liquidity Automated Market Maker (CLAMM) model. This model allows users to trade tokens quickly, with low slippage, thanks to the capital efficiency of Orca's CLAMM pools. As a liquidity provider, users can contribute to permission-less pools, a feature that enables anyone to create a pool for a wide range of SPL tokens with adjustable fee tiers. Orca's smart contracts are double audited and open-source.

Orca offers a variety of use cases for different types of users. Traders can use Orca to exchange crypto assets, with an innovative user interface. Liquidity providers can take advantage of Orca's concentrated liquidity pools, which offer advanced ways of operating that surpass traditional order books. Holders of the ORCA token can engage in governance, helping to shape the future of the platform. Lastly, developers can tap into Orca's source of liquidity on Solana, using Orca's open-source smart contracts and SDK to build and integrate their projects.

Orca started from humble beginnings, with two builders working at a desk in Tokyo, without venture funding or experience running a startup. Despite these challenges, Orca has grown within the Solana ecosystem. Today, Orca operates as a DAO, with powers delegated to a DAO council established through a vote. Over time, Orca has evolved to offer a range of features, including a new, innovative user interface for traders, permission-less pools for liquidity providers, and governance participation for ORCA token holders.
