RISK DISCLAIMER

Gauntlet is a competitive game played with volatile assets and leverage. Losing your entire stake is not a malfunction: it is one of the game's designed outcomes.

THE RISKS, PLAINLY

• Total loss by design. Positions are leveraged and the arena is adversarial. You can be liquidated by the market, eaten by another trader, or caught by a cascade. In all cases your stake is gone to someone else, on purpose, per the rules.
• Market risk. Crypto majors move violently. Leverage multiplies that. The game price tracks reality: reality is not gentle.
• Smart contract risk. The vault is deliberately small and heavily tested, with caps, delays and an emergency pause. None of that reduces smart contract risk to zero. Nothing does.
• Software risk. Gauntlet is alpha software. Servers crash (open positions refund at the last journaled mark), bugs exist, mechanics get tuned. During the alpha everything runs on the Robinhood Chain testnet with test tokens that are worth nothing.
• Price feed and infrastructure risk. The game depends on a live market price feed and on the chain it settles on. Each can degrade or fail; the game fails closed where it can (cold feed = no new entries).
• No token, no yield promises. There is no live token. Points carry no promise of monetary value. Anyone selling you "$GNTL" today is scamming you.

WHAT THIS IS NOT

Nothing on this wiki, in the game, or on the official channels is financial, investment, legal or tax advice. Gauntlet is entertainment with real stakes. Nobody on the team will ever tell you what to trade or how much to stake.

WHO SHOULD NOT PLAY

Do not play with funds you cannot afford to lose entirely. Do not play if you are under the age of majority where you live, or if games of this nature are restricted in your jurisdiction: knowing your local rules is on you.
