Risk disclosure
Last updated · September 2026
1. You can lose everything
Tokens launched on Hyped are memecoins. Most go to zero. They have no issuer, no backing, no revenue and no promise of future value. Only trade with money you can afford to lose entirely.
2. Extreme volatility
Prices on a bonding curve and in early liquidity pools move violently. A token can multiply or collapse within minutes. Slippage, front-running and rapid sentiment shifts are normal conditions here, not exceptions.
3. Anyone can launch anything
The protocol is permissionless: nobody screens tokens before they appear. A token's name or image may impersonate people, brands or other projects. The presence of a token on the board is not a review, listing or endorsement of any kind.
4. Concentration and creator behavior
Creators may buy a portion of their own supply at launch and can sell at any time. Large holders can move the price sharply against you. On-chain data about holder distribution is public — check it before you trade.
5. Smart contract risk
The contracts are immutable and have been tested, but no audit or test suite eliminates the possibility of bugs. A defect in the curve, the migration path, or the underlying DEX could result in a partial or total loss of funds, with no recourse.
6. Network risk
The protocol depends on HyperEVM and third-party infrastructure. Chain halts, congestion, reorganizations, or failures of RPC providers and the migration DEX can delay or block trades, including exits, at the worst possible moment.
7. No recourse, no insurance
Transactions are irreversible. There is no customer support that can refund a trade, no deposit insurance, and no compensation scheme. If you send funds to the wrong address or buy a token that collapses, the loss is final.
8. Regulatory uncertainty
The legal treatment of crypto-assets varies by jurisdiction and continues to change. Rules applying to you may restrict your ability to trade or create tax obligations you must handle yourself. You are solely responsible for compliance with your local laws.
