This page summarizes the principal risks. Read the full disclosure before contributing. ## Funding process versus project outcome Vault's escrow protects the funding process. It does not guarantee that a funded project delivers, that a token performs, or that any creator, beneficiary, or vendor behaves as expected. ## Irreversible transactions Blockchain transactions cannot be undone. A contribution cannot be reversed once signed, and SOL sent to a wrong address cannot be recovered by Vault. ## The charity exception A charity campaign that expires at 20% or more of its stated goal **does not refund contributors**, even though it never reached 100%. This is the opposite of standard crowdfunding behavior. Check the funding policy before contributing. ## Fulfillment risk Even when a campaign succeeds and settlement occurs, downstream fulfillment may be delayed, incomplete, or fail due to factors outside the escrow protocol. There is no on-chain mechanism to reverse a successful settlement once executed. ## Smart contract and network risk Vault's programs and the Solana network carry inherent technical risk. Vault has completed an internal security review; **no third-party audit has been completed.** ## SOL volatility Contributions are denominated in SOL. The fiat value of a contribution — and of any refund — can change with the market. ## Wallet security You are solely responsible for your wallet and private keys. Vault cannot recover lost keys, reverse unintended transactions, or protect you from phishing or key theft. Always verify the domain before connecting a wallet or signing: `vault.ky` is the official public information site, and `app.vault.ky` is the official Vault application and wallet-interaction surface. Never share your seed phrase. ## Unsupported assets Vault campaigns are funded in SOL. Other assets sent to a campaign funding address are not supported and cannot be recovered. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.vault.ky/resources/risk-disclosure.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
