Risk Disclosure

Effective date: June 2026

Market risk: Digital assets are highly volatile and may lose value rapidly, including a total loss of value. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Technology risk: Blockchain software can contain unknown bugs, vulnerabilities, or consensus failures. Network attacks, chain splits, and service outages may occur.

Custody risk: Loss or exposure of private keys or seed phrases can result in permanent and irreversible loss of funds. S256 wallets are fully noncustodial — the project cannot recover lost keys or funds under any circumstances.

Liquidity risk: Trading venues may have limited liquidity, delist assets, halt withdrawals, or suspend trading at any time. Third-party exchange availability is outside the control of this project.

Regulatory and tax risk: Legal and tax treatment of digital assets varies by jurisdiction and may change without notice. Users are solely responsible for legal and tax compliance in their respective jurisdictions.

No recovery guarantees: Transactions on the S256 network are irreversible by design. There is no support channel capable of recovering lost, misdirected, or stolen funds.

Regulatory notice: S256 (SHA256Coin) is a decentralized, open-source Proof-of-Work cryptocurrency. This project does not constitute a crypto-asset service as defined under EU Regulation 2023/1114 (MiCA). No exchange, custody, advisory, or financial services are offered. This disclosure is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial or legal advice.
