READ THIS BEFORE USING CTRL. DeFi automation can result in partial or total loss of funds. Set limits you can afford to lose.
Not financial advice
CTRL is a non-custodial software tool. We do not provide investment, financial, legal, tax, or accounting advice. Workflows, templates, AI suggestions, and documentation are educational and informational only. You are responsible for your own research and decisions.
Smart contract risk
The CTRL vault contracts and the third-party DEX routers your workflows interact with are software. Software contains bugs. Exploits can occur. Audits reduce but do not eliminate this risk. Funds in any smart contract can be lost permanently.
Execution risk
- Slippage — actual swap prices can deviate materially from quotes, especially in thin pools or volatile markets
- MEV — searchers may front-run, back-run, or sandwich your transactions, costing you value
- Failed transactions — RPC outages, network congestion, or insufficient gas can cause executions to fail. You may still pay gas
- Trigger latency — automated triggers poll on a cadence; price thresholds may fire late if prices move faster than the polling interval
- Oracle risk — price feeds can be wrong, stale, or manipulated
Token risk
- Fresh launches (snipes) — extreme volatility, low liquidity, potential honeypots and rugs. Sniping is gambling, not investing
- Honeypots — some tokens permit buys but block sells. CTRL has defenses but cannot guarantee detection
- Fee-on-transfer (FoT) tokens — extract value on every transfer
- Tax-on-transfer — some tokens charge sell taxes that effectively cap your upside
- Migration / proxy — token contracts can change behavior via upgradeability
Operational risk
- Workflow misconfiguration — wrong addresses, wrong slippage, wrong amounts, infinite loops
- Wallet compromise — protect your wallet keys; CTRL cannot recover them
- Keeper downtime — our infrastructure can fail. Time-sensitive workflows may miss their triggers
- Webhook / notification failure — Telegram and webhook delivery is best-effort, not guaranteed
Regulatory risk
DeFi regulations are evolving worldwide. Tokens, protocols, or activities that are legal today may not be tomorrow. You are responsible for complying with the laws of your jurisdiction, including securities laws, anti-money-laundering rules, sanctions programs, and tax obligations.
No insurance, no FDIC, no recourse
Smart contract funds are not insured by any government deposit insurance program. There is no consumer recourse if a contract is exploited, a token is rugged, or a transaction fails.
Use small amounts first
Test every new workflow with small amounts before committing real capital. Use vault rule limits (maxPerSwap, maxPerDay) to cap losses if something goes wrong.
