Perpetual trading is inherently high risk. Emofi provides transparent mechanisms and risk controls, but no protocol can remove exposure to market volatility, leverage amplification, or execution uncertainty.
Directional risk remains primary. Price can move sharply and continuously against open exposure, especially in high-volatility conditions.
Leverage magnifies both gains and losses. A modest adverse move can produce significant equity drawdown when leverage is high.
Liquidation Risk
When account equity drops below maintenance requirements, positions may be forcibly reduced or closed by protocol rules. Thin collateral buffers increase liquidation probability.
Smart Contract Risk
Even with audits and review processes, smart contract systems carry non-zero implementation and integration risk.
Oracle/Data Risk
Pricing references depend on data quality and resilience. Abnormal or delayed data conditions can affect mark logic and liquidation pathways.
Network/Execution Risk
Onchain operations are sensitive to network conditions, including congestion and confirmation delay. These factors can impact timing-sensitive risk actions.
