Risks & Disclosures
This page summarizes principal risks associated with RFY vaults and important disclosures for users and partners. It is educational material, not financial, legal, or tax advice. Perform your own due diligence.
High-level risk categories
Strategy, execution, and counterparty risk
A vetted strategist directly executes the defined offchain strategy. Strategy errors, venue failures, inaccurate reporting, liquidity constraints, or counterparty credit events can reduce settlement proceeds and receipt NAV.
Mitigations
Vetted strategist and counterparties.
Position and PnL monitoring.
Onchain settlement and NAV accounting.
Strategy-specific sizing and risk parameters.
Smart contract and protocol risk
Bugs, exploits, or failures in RFY contracts, external protocols, or relayers could cause loss, incorrect accounting, or interrupted deposits and redemptions.
Mitigations
Independent third-party audit.
Limited contract surface area.
Emergency pause capability.
Curated external protocol selection.
Liquidity and exit risk
Receipt-token liquidity may be limited, and rolling epochs can queue deposits or withdrawals. Users may be unable to exit immediately or at an acceptable price.
Mitigations
Deposit caps.
Defined redemption windows.
Vault-page disclosure of epoch timing and withdrawal rules.
Market and collateral risk
Volatility, sharp price moves, and changing correlations can reduce collateral value and strategy performance. Even strategies designed to limit directional exposure retain residual risk.
Mitigations
Controlled position sizing.
Dynamic risk parameters.
Strategy and collateral limits.
Blackbox-specific risk
Blackbox is a higher-conviction strategy that combines options premium capture with selective momentum exposure. It may carry directional positions and can experience material drawdowns. Any onchain yield layer, including use of protocols such as Pendle or Aave, adds separate protocol and liquidity risk.
Disclosures
Strategist execution
A vetted strategist directly operates each defined offchain strategy. Final settlement and updated vault accounting are recorded onchain, but offchain execution and counterparties still introduce risk.
No guarantee of returns
RFY does not guarantee positive returns or principal protection. Performance varies, and past performance or backtests do not predict future results.
Fees and terms
Fees, caps, supported assets, and epoch rules can differ by vault and may change. Confirm the terms shown in the RFY app before depositing.
Composability and external use
Receipt tokens are ERC-4626 shares. Transferring them, using them in other protocols, or providing liquidity can add smart contract, market, liquidity, and counterparty risks.
Legal, tax, and financial disclaimer
This documentation does not constitute financial, legal, or tax advice. Consult a qualified professional for guidance relevant to your circumstances.
User responsibilities
Verify contract addresses through official RFY pages.

Check available liquidity and slippage before transferring or trading receipt shares.
Legal notice
RFY, its contributors, and its partners are not offering investment advice. Use of RFY products involves substantial risk and may result in loss of some or all deposited funds. By interacting with RFY contracts, you acknowledge these risks.
