Gradient & $GRAY disclaimers

No Investment or Financial Advice

• Nothing contained in this documentation, on the Gradient platform, or in associated communications constitutes investment advice, financial advice, legal advice, or trading advice of any kind.

• Users are solely responsible for evaluating the risks and suitability of using the Gradient protocol and participating in any associated activities, including trading, staking, or market making.

• Always consult a qualified professional before making any financial, legal, or investment decisions.

Risks & Limitations

  • Smart contract vulnerabilities or failures

  • Impermanent loss or market volatility

  • Regulatory enforcement actions

  • Loss of funds due to user error, third-party exploits, or integration bugs

• The Gradient protocol is provided “as-is” with no warranties or guarantees of any kind.

Forward-Looking Statements

This documentation may contain forward-looking statements, including projections, future functionality, or anticipated outcomes related to the Gradient protocol or the $GRAY token. These statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties, and changes in technology, regulation, or market conditions. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied. No assurance is given that the protocol will achieve any specific objectives or milestones mentioned herein.

Development & Delivery Disclaimer

All features, mechanisms, and protocol components described in this documentation are subject to ongoing development and refinement. While the Gradient team intends to build according to the outlined design, unforeseen technical, regulatory, or operational challenges may alter the final implementation. Nothing in this document should be interpreted as a guarantee of delivery, performance, or availability of any specific feature.

Final Notes

• This document is intended for informational purposes only and does not constitute a prospectus, offering document, or legal agreement.

• The Gradient protocol and its related systems are experimental, and participation should be approached with caution.

• Gradient contributors disclaim any and all liability for damages, losses, or claims arising from the use of the platform or reliance on this documentation.

• No Right to Fee Proceeds: All fees collected by the protocol are owned by the protocol and not by token holders or users. Any use of fee proceeds (whether for buy-backs, burns, marketing, or distributions) is undertaken voluntarily by the protocol and creates no rights or claims for any party. Users and $GRAY holders are not entitled to any fees or revenues generated by the platform.

• No Guaranteed Distributions or Returns: While the Gradient protocol may, at its discretion, allocate tokens or other rewards to participants (e.g. stakers, liquidity providers) from time to time, such distributions are not guaranteed. They are subject to change, suspension, or cancellation without notice. There is no guarantee of any return, revenue share, or increase in token value from holding or staking $GRAY.

• Token is Utility, Not Investment: $GRAY is offered as a utility token for accessing and participating in the Gradient platform’s features. It is not an investment. Purchasing or holding $GRAY should be done with the understanding that it does not provide you with ownership, equity, or a share in any profits of any entity. Any potential appreciation in $GRAY’s value or any rewards you might receive are purely contingent on the usage of the platform and protocol settings, and no expectation of profit should be derived from them.

• Forward-Looking Tokenomics: Any description of how the protocol currently handles fees and token economics (for example, using fees to buy back $GRAY or distributing tokens to users) is intended to explain the present design. These mechanisms may be adjusted or eliminated in the future as the protocol evolves. Nothing herein should be taken as a permanent policy or promise. Actual future tokenomics could differ, and no commitment is made that any specific allocation or burn will occur indefinitely.

• Non-Refundable Fees: Transaction fees (including the $GRAY trading fee and any spread-based fees) are non-refundable and are collected for the operation and benefit of the protocol. Paying these fees does not entitle you to any service beyond the execution of the transaction, nor to any distribution of the protocol’s assets.
