Risks And Best Practices
Risks:
- Impermanent Loss:
- When providing liquidity, the value of your assets can fluctuate due to market volatility, potentially leading to impermanent loss. Be mindful of the risks before committing your assets.
- Smart Contract Vulnerabilities:
- Although Atmos undergoes rigorous audits, there is always a risk of bugs or vulnerabilities in smart contracts. Only invest what you can afford to lose.
- Market Volatility:
- Cryptocurrencies are known for their high volatility. Prices can swing drastically, impacting the value of tokens and liquidity pools. Stay informed and make decisions based on your risk tolerance.
- Front-Running:
- In decentralized exchanges, bots or other users may try to front-run your transactions by placing orders before yours, potentially leading to less favorable prices.
- Phishing and Scams:
- Always ensure you are interacting with the official Atmos website and contracts. Be wary of phishing attempts or scams that can lead to loss of funds.
Best Practices:
- Conduct Thorough Research:
- Always research the tokens and pools you are interested in before participating. Understand the project, its risks, and its potential before committing your funds.
- Start Small:
- If you are new to DeFi or Atmos, start with a small amount to get comfortable with the platform and its features before investing larger sums.
- Diversify Your Portfolio:
- Avoid putting all your assets into one token or pool. Diversifying can help mitigate risk and reduce the impact of potential losses.
- Use Hardware Wallets:
- For added security, consider using a hardware wallet to store your assets. This can protect your funds from phishing attacks and other online threats.
- Stay Updated:
- Follow Atmos's official channels for the latest updates, security alerts, and best practices. Staying informed will help you make better decisions.
