# Risks and Mitigation

#### <mark style="color:purple;">**Market Volatility**</mark> <a href="#market-volatility" id="market-volatility"></a>

* **Assessment**: Using 30x leverage amplifies both gains and losses. A sudden 30% drop in price can result in a total position wipeout.
* **Mitigation**: Every trade includes a built-in 5% stop-loss to limit exposure. Additionally, leverage is capped at 30x to prevent excessive risk.

#### <mark style="color:purple;">**Data Reliability**</mark> <a href="#data-reliability" id="data-reliability"></a>

* **Risk**: AI relies on external signals from social platforms and news sources, which may carry up to a 10% error rate.
* **Mitigation**: Our system uses cross-verification, combining multiple sources to reduce the error margin to just 2%.

#### <mark style="color:purple;">**Regulatory Challenges**</mark> <a href="#regulatory-challenges" id="regulatory-challenges"></a>

* **Risk**: There's a 20% estimated likelihood of new crypto regulations emerging by 2026 that could affect DeFi platforms.
* **Mitigation**: Zeumatrix AI is KYC/AML ready and supported by an experienced legal team to adapt to regulatory developments swiftly and compliantly.

#### <mark style="color:purple;">**Security Threats**</mark> <a href="#security-threats" id="security-threats"></a>

* **Risk**: While unlikely, there remains a 1% probability of a system breach or exploit.
* **Mitigation**: The platform undergoes regular smart contract audits and employs multi-signature wallets to secure user funds and system functions.

#### <mark style="color:purple;">**Adoption Barriers**</mark> <a href="#adoption-barriers" id="adoption-barriers"></a>

* **Risk**: Up to 50% of early users may disengage due to unfamiliarity with DeFi or leverage trading.
* **Mitigation**: The Galactic VIP Program, onboarding incentives, and targeted marketing campaigns are in place to retain users and encourage engagement.

### <mark style="color:$danger;">**What Happens if a Trade Fails?**</mark> <a href="#what-happens-if-a-trade-fails" id="what-happens-if-a-trade-fails"></a>

* **Loss Cap**: With the stop-loss set at 5%, even at 30x leverage, the maximum loss on a 1 ETH stake would be limited to just 0.01 ETH.
* **Pool Impact**: Thanks to the 30-day lock-up rule, any loss is absorbed gradually across the pooled assets. For example, a 1 ETH trade loss would be spread across a 100 ETH pool, minimizing individual impact.
* **Controls**: The platform enforces a strict leverage cap at 30x and uses a diversified range of trading signals to prevent over-reliance on any one source.
* **Recovery**: Trading continues through AI even after individual trade failures, and the Jackpot Pool remains active to support user morale through airdrops, 2–3% staking boosts, and ETH rewards.
* **Assurance**: Users still receive up to 85% of platform profits, and VIP members enjoy an additional 6% bonus, helping long-term users stay on track for growth despite occasional trade losses.
