# About Solera

Integrated suite for RWA and Crypto yields

### **What is Solera?**

Solera is a suite of DeFi protocols, applications and infrastructure connecting yields from on chain strategies and RWAs via structured products and lending facilities. Solera labs is contributing to the flagship borrowing and lending hub of Plume network and the global frontend for real asset yields.&#x20;

Optimized for the intersection of crypto-native strategies and tokenized assets. Solera is built from the ground up to deliver a variety of competitive risk adjusted yields from:

* Deployment and maintenance of the Solera Protocol, an overcollateralized lending market
* Curation lending vaults on Morpho allocating to RWA and Crypto baked strategies
* Developing omnichain structured product vaults and yield strategies&#x20;
* Offering distribution and leverage for issuers and institutions&#x20;

### Labs, Protocol, Interface

Distinctions between the different areas of "Solera."

**Solera Labs**: The company developing the Solera Protocol and supporting applications.

**Solera Protocol**: A set of permissioness smart contracts enable collateralized lending, borrowing and leveraged strategies on crypto and real world assets to generate yield. Solera's main lending market has been forked from Aave and isolated markets have been deployed  [In collaboration with Morpho](https://x.com/MorphoLabs/status/1902408260612710703). Core concepts from Morpho apply to Solera's lending vaults.&#x20;

**The Solera Interface**: A typescript web interface that allows for easy interaction with the Solera protocol, currently hosted at <https://app.solera.market>. The interface is only one of many ways that users may interact with the Solera protocol.

**Solera Governance**: While the Solera Protocol has not formally launched governance, stakeholder participation is paramount and efforts are underway to enable a gradual transition towards increasingly community-led governance.

# Getting Started


# Core Concepts

Core Mechanics of Solera's Lending and Borrowing Protocol

1. **Pairs and Lending Mechanics**

In each isolated market, users can borrow one type of token (Asset Token) by depositing another (Collateral Token). Depositing Asset Tokens in a pair gives lenders a Receipt Token claim that is redeemable for an increasing quantity of Asset Tokens as interest accrues. Borrowers deposit Collateral Tokens to gain the right to borrow Asset Tokens.&#x20;

***

2. **Interest Rate Mechanics**

Interest is accrued continuously according to the formula: Pe^rt-e. Interest rates are determined by a specific Rate Calculator contract for each pair. The Time-Weighted Variable Rate adjusts based on asset utilization—rates decrease if utilization is low and increase if high.&#x20;

***

3. &#x20;**Loan-To-Value (LTV)**

LTV represents the ratio of borrowed assets to deposited collateral. It changes with market rates and interest accrual. Borrowers must maintain their LTV below a pre-set Maximum LTV to avoid their position being elligibile for liquidation. To correct an unhealthy LTV, borrowers can add collateral or repay part of the loan. The Maximum LTV is set for each individual asset pair.&#x20;

***

4. **Vault Account Mechanics**

The Vault Account is a key element in the pair's accounting system, comprising two main components: the Account Value (total tokens within the vault) and a unique representation of ownership for each lender.

* Account Value: Reflects the total holdings in the vault, including both the initial deposits and any accrued interest.
* Lenders: Receive an increased value, symbolizing their contribution to the Vault Account, which can be redeemed later in proportion to their share of the total Account Value.

As interest accrues within the pair, the Account Value increases, enhancing the redeemable value of each lender's token.

# Market Types

Overview of Solera's market types

Solera supports two different kinds of lending markets:

* **Main Collateral Market**: Central pool for multi-asset lending/borrowing with highly liquid assets (e.g., Stables, Liquid RWAs, ETH). Each asset can be used as collateral until its Max LTV to borrow any other asset available in the pool. Supports higher LTV ratios for correlated assets in eMode. Learn more in [Lending & Borrowing](/overview/editor)<br>
* **Isolated Collateral Markets**: 1:1 asset pools where specified collateral can be used to borrow a pair asset. Multiple isolated markets can be combined into a lending vault. Learn more in [Morpho Markets](/overview/morpho-markets)


# Lending & Borrowing

Solera's core lending market is built on top of Aave V3 ([docs.aave.com](https://docs.aave.com))

Solera's Isolated lending markets are deployed using the Morpho Stack ([docs.morpho.org](https://docs.morpho.org)),&#x20;

# Interest Rates

How interest rates are programatically determined in Solera's lending markets

### Interest Rate Models

#### **Main Market: Linear Interest Rate Curve with Kink Beyond Optimal Utilization**

The interest rate model operates in two phases on a linear curve determined by the **utilization rate (U ) and Optimal Utilization Point (U\_Optimal)**:

1. **Below U\_Optimal** – Borrow rates rise moderately as utilization increases, promoting lending while maintaining affordable borrowing costs.
2. **Above U\_Optimal** – Borrow rates climb steeply to prevent liquidity crises and discourage excessive borrowing.

This design maintains sufficient liquidity for withdrawals while optimizing capital efficiency. The variable model increases an asset's interest rate dramatically near full utilization to encourage new deposits and/or discourage additional borrowing to preserve liquidity reserves.

The system relies on several core parameters:

* **Optimal Utilization Rate (U\_optimal)** – Target utilization before steep rate increases begin
* **Base Variable Borrow Rate** – Minimum borrowing cost at near-zero utilization
* **Variable Rate Slope 1** – Linear increase rate before U\_optimal
* **Variable Rate Slope 2** – Linear increase rate after U\_optimal

<figure><img src="https://2550339912-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FxnKyOKJHYcrZeGHpRuHg%2Fuploads%2FatSntZW2OAYM93GlD1lU%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=c0444f58-1327-402f-a44e-9bf38b5b1217" alt=""><figcaption><p>Linear Interest Rate Display in the Solera Interface</p></figcaption></figure>

#### **Isolated Markets: Adaptive Interest Rate Curve Developed by Morpho**

Solera's Morpho Vaults and Markets utilize the adaptive Interest rate curve developed by Morpho Labs. For detailed information including calculations see <https://docs.morpho.org/overview/concepts/irm/>&#x20;

### Borrow and Supply APY

The **Annualized Percentage Yield (APY)** standardizes interest rates over a one-year period by accounting for compounding. In the context of lending protocols, two key APYs are:

* **Borrow APY:** This reflects the effective annual interest cost that borrowers incur. It is derived from the instantaneous interest rate provided by the chosen Interest Rate Model (IRM). The Borrow APY tells borrowers how much they will pay on an annual basis for borrowing funds.
* **Supply APY:** This indicates the effective annual yield that lenders receive on their supplied assets. It is derived from the variable Borrow APY, the market's utilization rate and any applicable fees.&#x20;

Additional liquidity incentives and rewards applied to specific markets and assets can further increase supply rates or decrease borrow rates beyond the base APY.&#x20;


# Collateral & Liquidations

**Liquidations**

A critical process triggered when a borrower's health factor falls below 100%. This may happen when the collateral value decreases, or the borrowed debt increases relative to each other.

Simple terms&#x20;

```
Health Factor = Sum(Debt AssetQty * Price)/ Sum (Collateral Asset Qty * Price * Liquidation Loan to Value)) 
```

In the main market, this requires a sumproduct operation across the range of all oustandging borrowed assets&#x20;

In isolated markets the range is less&#x20;

Liquidations are triggered by Oracle price feeds and managed by liquidator bots (both internal and third-party). A liquidation penalty is applied to the value of the collateral during liquidation, incentivizing liquidators.

***

#### Collateral Types and Selection

Solera supports three types of collateral, each with different protocol capabilities. Each asset is classified according to the asset risk assessment framework.

1. Main Market Collateral: ERC-20 and OFT tokens with high liquidity.
2. Isolated Market Collateral: Assets that may not meet the criteria for the main market but are supported via isolated markets with stricter borrowing limits.
3. RWA Collateral: Real-world assets (e.g., US Treasuries) that require special considerations due to liquidity constraints and non-immediate redemption.

Each new token introduced as collateral increases protocol complexity and solvency risk. Only assets with strong risk profiles should be supported as collateral.

#### Main Market Liquidations

Solera's main lending market is designed after Aave, where a users **health factor** indicates when a position is eligible to be closed, **close factor** indicates how much collateral can be seized by liquidators to earn the **liquidation incentive**.&#x20;

For more information on liquidation logic and tips on managing your health factor, refer to <https://aave.com/docs/concepts/liquidations>.

#### Isolated Market Liquidations

Solera's Isolated markets run on the Morpho stack. As such, all liquidation concepts from Morpho apply. Read <https://docs.morpho.org/overview/concepts/liquidation/> for more information on liquidation mechanisms.

#### RWA Liquidation Flow

For select assets liquidation and redemption agents perform liquidations and redeem the underlying collateral at a future depending on the specific asset's liquidity profile. Liquidators receive a liquidation bonus for assuming the credit risk incurred between collateral seizure and off chain redemption.


# Oracles

How different price feeds are provided for use within Solera

Liquidations rely on price feed information provided by Oracles. To ensure proper liquidations and avoid any bad debt, Solera relies on three major oracle sources:

Currently the following oracles are being used:&#x20;

1. [Stork](https://www.stork.network/)
2. [eOracle](https://eo.app/)
3. [Chronicle](https://chroniclelabs.org/)

Oracle providers for each asset and vault are listed within the application. Solera plans to onboard more providers and custom feeds as needed.&#x20;

Certain markets are configured with **custom oracles feeds** depending on the underlying asset and anticipated leverage in borrowing strategies. Oracle configuration is determined by the market/vault curator. A few common oracle configurations are listed below:

<table><thead><tr><th width="258.8125">Feed Type</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Hardcoded</td><td>Value of collateral asset is set to a fixed price</td></tr><tr><td>Market Price</td><td>Value of collateral asset is calculated using an average of available trading venues on DEX and CEXs,</td></tr><tr><td>Redemption Rate / NAV</td><td>Value of collateral asset is determined by the underling Net Asset Value (NAV) of it's redeemable value, not market price</td></tr><tr><td>Time Weighted Average Price (TWAP)</td><td>Value of collateral asset is calculated using its average value over a specific period (eg. trailing 7-day average)</td></tr></tbody></table>


# Morpho Markets

Isolated lending infrastructure

Solera curates and co curates vaults and markets on the Morpho Stack. Borrowers provide collateral and borrow from lenders in isolated asset pairs, reducing contagion risk. Users&#x20;

**Morpho Markets**: are immutable 1:1 where borrowers pay interest to borrow against collateral assets.

**Morpho Vaults**: are permissionless vaults allocating to individual markets allowing for additional layers of logic and risk management.

Solera works with industry leading risk managers and liquid funds such as [Gauntlet](https://www.gauntlet.xyz/), [Re7](https://www.re7labs.xyz/), [Edge Capital](https://edgecapital.xyz/), and more to curate, manage, and allocate assets in these lending markets.&#x20;

Solera's Markets and Vaults can be found at [morpho.solera.market](https://morpho.solera.market) and on the official Morpho frontend on supported networks.&#x20;


# Earning

How to Deposit Assets and Earn Interest on Solera

### 01 - Deposit in a Solera Vault

Earn yield by depositing an asset into a vault curated by third-party risk curators. Each vault has a unique risk profile and strategy determined by the curator.&#x20;

Creating a vault is permissionless, so users should assess a vault’s curator and risk exposure before depositing.

### 02 - Assets are supplied to Solera Markets

A Solera Vault can only allocate deposits to Markets whitelisted by the curator. Depositors in the vault are exposed to risks related to each market, including the collateral asset, liquidation LTV, and configured oracles.

### 03 - Earn yield from borrowers

Vaults generate a yield from over-collateralized lending. Borrowers deposit collateral and borrow assets supplied to Solera Markets, paying interest to the vault.


# Borrowing

How to Borrow Assets on Solera

### 01 - Provide Collateral

Deposit the asset you want to borrow against. Keep in mind that you can only borrow from the market where you've supplied collateral. If you intend to borrow from multiple markets, you'll need to supply collateral to each market.

### 02 - Borrow Liquidity

Borrow liquidity up to an amount based on the value of provided collateral and available liquidity. Borrowers are charged a variable interest rate on the borrowed amount, determined by the market's interest rate model.

## 03 - Monitor Position

Monitor the LTV of your positions to avoid being eligible for liquidation. If the loan-to-value-ratio of a position exceeds the liquidation loan-to-value-ratio of a given market, external liquidators can seize your collateral to repay your outstanding debt.

### 04 - Repay Debt

Repay your outstanding loans by returning the initial borrowed amount plus the accrued interest.

# Vaults

### Overview

Vaults enable users to deposit into **custom yield-bearing strategies**. The underlying smart contracts abstract away complex multi-chain operations related to swapping, minting, redeeming, transferring, and collateralizing different assets, facilitating seamless access to advanced strategies.&#x20;

Vaults can be configured to support a in a variety of different strategies, including but not limited to:&#x20;

1. Leveraged Lending of Crypto + RWAs
2. Collateralized Debt Products
3. Longer Duration Savings Strategies
4. Auto-Compounding or Yield Optimizing Vaults

Solera Vaults power a variety of different strategies through the protocol's lending markets and integrated protocol and asset partners. Additional strategies will be developed and onboarded over time. Vaults and asset information will be available on the 'Strategies' page of the Solera Interface.

### Example Vault Flow

Imagine a vault that allows a user to get exposure to five yield bearing assets on Ethereum and Plume in a single deposit. Each asset has a different issuer and equal weight of 20%. Users supply assets to a deposit contract and receive a yield bearing receipt token ([sTokens](/developers/stokens)) redeemable for their share of the underlying assets and interest generated by the strategy. All bridging, minting, cross chain transfer, deposit, and redemption logic is handled by the vault and manager contracts, simplifying the user experience.

### Vault Standard

Solera's vaults are built using the BoringVault standard inspired from [Veda](https://veda.tech/)'s open source [BoringVault repo](https://github.com/Se7en-Seas/boring-vault). This standard was initially creaded by [Se7enSeas](https://github.com/Se7en-Seas) and has been adapted for Plume in partnership with [Nucleus](https://docs.nucleusearn.io/nucleus-architecture/vault-framework) to deliver custom yield bearing strategies.&#x20;


# Swap

Solera integrates with [**Rooster Protocol**](https://rooster-protocol.gitbook.io/docs), a specialized Concentrated Liquidity AMM designed to optimize trading liquidity for correlated market pairs such as RWAs and Stablecoins for swaps on Plume network.

<figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdHAHVrebY5Gf1FK-1KQaIVPX9Iq4wIRRiB2AXMhwC4_8gNnc-pderJKp-wjF6GdO-DVROfnCR5QiWnfHcsCOpctvUwNjTl6Wvhl-b5JhxqOStu6njPozXgJ8YnP_F8SH4r3bo22A?key=NhExmJGNReMQCz4UbY9YsIDS" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

# Risks

When interacting with the Soelra Protocol, users may be exposed to certain risks outlined in this section.&#x20;

# Smart Contract Risk

While the Solera Protocol has been audited, vulnerabilities may be missed by its developers, auditors, and core contributors in its smart contracts that facilitate user to platform interaction. PL's smart contracts are undergoing an audit with Trail of Bits. Please note, there is a possibility of a missed attack vector or bug which may be critical to the health of the protocol.

In realizing this, bug bounties are available to the community, however it is possible that such risks exist in the protocol arising from smart contract errors such as:

* Theft of protocol funds
* Theft of user funds
* Theft of unrealized yield
* Attacks on protocol parameters through governance

Bounties will be determined by the degree of the reported vulnerability with reported critical vulnerabilities being rewarded with the highest bounties.


# Bad Debt Risk

The primary risk for both the protocol and lenders is that the value of the borrowers’ collateral decreases to below the debt value or the debt increases too rapidly. In either scenario, the borrower lacks a financial incentive to repay their loan, as it would result in a loss, leading to bad debt.

While Solera's liquidation framework aims to effectively repay vault loans in an effective manner, issues may arise during the liquidation process (high market volatility, slippage, gas costs, illiquidity, etc.) which may prevent the deposited collateral from being sold in a timely manner to make up for the borrowed amount, resulting in the protocol accruing bad debt.

Bad debt may be realized in "black swan" events. And possibly, an inability to repay user loans may arise due to insufficient liquidity in adverse market conditions. If bad debt is accrued in Solera markets, it will be socialized amongst pool lenders unless alternate remediations are determined by the risk and governance committee, external parties, or insurers.&#x20;


# Oracle Risk

Solera's products rely heavily on price feeds from partnered [Oracles](/overview/editor/oracles), inaccuracies in price feeds may result in unexpected liquidations for borrowers or losses for lenders. In the event of an oracle failure or exploit determined by pre-established conditions, Solera will switch to a backup oracle system or an off chain price.

Note that given the variety of oracles used and assets listed, it's up to users depositing in each market to note which oracle is being used and properly assess their own risk tolerance. For example, some oracles depend on pool prices which are subject to quick change in volatile market conditions, while others are custom based on asset exchange rates, and others rely on third parties like Pyth and Chainlink.


# Risk Management

Solera is built with a strong commitment to **protocol stability** and leverages industry-leading practices to mitigate risks associated with lending and borrowing. This section outlines key risk management features integrated into the protocol.

**Risk Parameters**

Each asset in the Solera platform is assigned specific **risk parameters** that influence its use in lending and borrowing. These parameters are designed to address security, market volatility, and governance risks. **V1** introduces advanced risk controls to facilitate the inclusion of higher-risk assets with clear limits.

Solera uses **over-collateralization** to safeguard the protocol against market volatility. If the collateral value of a loan drops below the set **liquidation threshold**, a portion of the collateral is liquidated to maintain solvency. Each asset in Solera’s markets is added through **governance proposals** or by admins appointed by governance, ensuring thorough vetting.

**Key Risk Parameters:**

* **Supply Caps**: Set a limit on the total supply of an asset, balancing liquidity with protocol risk.
* **Borrow Caps**: Prevent excessive borrowing of an asset, minimizing insolvency risks.

**Liquidation Parameters:**

* **Liquidation Threshold**: Defines as the maximum loan-to-value (LTV) a loan becomes at risk of liquidation based on the collateral ratio. When the loan's value exceeds this threshold, a portion of the collateral is sold to maintain balance.
* **Liquidation Penalty**: A fee applied during liquidation awarded to the liquidator.

**Health Factor**

The **Health Factor** measures the risk level of an account by comparing its collateral value to the borrowed amount. A **Health Factor** below 1 signals that an account is under-collateralized, triggering potential liquidation to safeguard the protocol.

**Reserve Factor**

A portion of the interest earned by the protocol is allocated to its **ecosystem treasury** through the **Reserve Factor**, which varies based on asset risk. This reserve supports protocol sustainability and future development.

**Collateral Usage**

Some assets, due to risks like centralization or low liquidity, are restricted to specific markets or have lower LTV limits. For example, highly centralized assets are limited to **Isolation Mode**, while stable assets like USDC or ETH enjoy higher LTV ratios. The allowed criteria for each pool can be viewed in the Solera app.

Solera’s risk parameters are dynamic, adjusting to real-time market conditions to maintain a secure and capital-efficient lending environment.


# Risk Parameters


# Asset-level

Each asset on Solera is assigned specific risk parameters that govern its use for lending and borrowing. These parameters are designed to address security, governance, and market dynamics, ensuring that risks are managed at an individual asset level. **V1** introduces advanced risk measures to onboard a broader range of assets, including those with higher risk profiles.

Understanding the inherent risks of each asset, including **smart contract security**, **centralization risks**, and **market volatility**, is crucial to maintaining a stable protocol. Each asset in Solera is onboarded through **governance proposals** or by admins appointed by governance, ensuring a thorough risk assessment.

**Key Risk Parameters:**

* **Supply Caps**: Limit the total supply of an asset within the protocol, based on its on-chain liquidity and collateral volume.
* **Borrow Caps**: Set a maximum borrowing limit for each asset, reducing the risk of price manipulation and insolvency.
* **Efficiency Mode (eMode)**: Provides higher **Loan-to-Value (LTV)** ratios for correlated assets like stablecoins and **Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSDs)**, optimizing capital efficiency while managing risk.

To further mitigate market risks, loans on Solera require **over-collateralization**, and assets are subject to specific **collateralization and liquidation rules**. If the value of collateral falls below a defined **liquidation threshold**, a portion is liquidated to repay debt and maintain solvency.

Solera’s risk management framework ensures that each asset is appropriately managed, balancing capital efficiency with the security of the protocol.


# Account-level

Solera’s risk management system ensures account-level safety by establishing key parameters to monitor and control the risk of individual loans and collateral positions.

1. **Liquidation Threshold**\
   Solera assesses the risk of each loan using the **Liquidation Threshold**, calculated as the weighted average of all collateral types in an account. If the loan’s value exceeds this threshold relative to the collateral, the position is flagged for liquidation to safeguard the protocol’s solvency.
2. **Liquidation Penalty and Factor**\
   During liquidation, a **Liquidation Penalty** is applied to the collateral’s value as a fee for the process. The **Liquidation Factor** determines what portion of this fee is directed to the protocol’s treasury, striking a balance between user protection and protocol sustainability.
3. **Health Factor**\
   The **Health Factor** represents the overall risk level of an account, determined by the ratio of collateral to borrowed assets. It dynamically adjusts for market conditions and collateral performance. If the Health Factor drops below 1, the account is under-collateralized and may face liquidation to maintain the protocol’s stability.
4. **Reserve Factor**\
   The **Reserve Factor** allocates a portion of interest generated from lending to Solera’s ecosystem treasury. This factor is calibrated based on the risk associated with each asset, providing a buffer to support protocol longevity.
5. **Collateral Usage**\
   Certain assets, such as **USDT** and **sUSD**, are confined to **Isolation Mode** due to heightened centralization risks. Others, despite being decentralized, may not be accepted as collateral if they have limited liquidity or are still in testing phases. Solera provides up-to-date collateral criteria within its platform for users.

***

**Market risks** directly influence these parameters, with **liquidity** and **volatility** playing critical roles in determining thresholds. More volatile assets are subject to stricter limits with lower **LTVs** and higher **liquidation thresholds**, while stable assets like **USDC** and **Liquid Staked PLUME** are given more flexible terms.

These parameters are constantly adjusted based on real-time market data, ensuring that Solera remains secure and responsive to changing market dynamics.


# Liquidations

For a detailed breakdown of liquidation concepts and formulae see the [Morpho Docs](<https://docs.morpho.org/overview/concepts/liquidation/ >)&#x20;

Liquidations in **Solera** occur when a borrower’s **Position Value** drops to a level which their collateral no longer sufficiently covers their outstanding loan. This can happen if the value of the collateral decreases or if the value of the borrowed debt rises relative to the collateral.

The **Health Factor** reflects this relationship by comparing the collateral’s **Max LTV** (Loan-to-Value ratio) to the loan, determining whether the borrower’s collateral remains adequate to cover their debt, or if the value has crossed the asset's **Liquidation LTV Threshold** .

Liquidations are triggered by real-time price data provided by **Oracle price feeds**. Once a liquidation is necessary, it is executed by **liquidator bots**, which can be run by anyone. A **Liquidation Penalty** is applied to the collateral during this process, incentivizing liquidators to act swiftly and helping maintain the protocol’s financial stability.

All liquidations on **Solera** are **open source** and **permissionless**, allowing anyone to participate as a liquidator. To learn more about running a liquidation bot, visit [Operating a Liquidator Bot](/developers/operating-a-liquidator-bot)


# Operational Security

How Solera protocol contributors work to reduce operational risks

**Multi-Party control**

Every code upgrade and treasury transaction must be approved by a 3/3 multisig. This is enforced through a multisignature contract which only allows code upgrades when all signers have signed the upgrade with a cold storage wallet.

**2FA**

All accounts of the protocol, administrators, and moderators are secured by two factor authentication using an authenticator app, reducing the likelihood of access being granted to a malicious actor via methods such as sim-swapping.

**Audits**

Our auditors have checked for centralization risks when auditing . This means that potential backdoors, deliberate exploit opportunities and other risks are reported by the auditor with or without the contributor's approval.

Visit [Audits](/protocol/audits) to learn more&#x20;


# sTokens

Solera's lending market and vaults give yield-accuring sTokens as deposit receipts. The balance of sTokens increases based on the assets base APY

Users can redeem sTokens for a share of the underling collateral asset at a future date

(b) blockchain networks use public and private key cryptography. You alone are responsible for securing your private key(s). We do not have access to your private key(s). Losing control of your private key(s) will permanently and irreversibly deny you access to Digital Assets on the Plume blockchain or other blockchain-based network. Neither we nor any other person or entity will be able to retrieve or protect your Digital Assets. If your private key(s) are lost, then you will not be able to transfer your Digital Assets to any other blockchain address or wallet. If this occurs, then you will not be able to realize any value or utility from the Digital Assets that you may hold;

(c) the Services and your Digital Assets could be impacted by one or more regulatory inquiries or regulatory actions, which could impede or limit our ability to continue to make available our proprietary software and could impede or limit your ability to access or use the Services;

(d) cryptography is a progressing field. Advances in code cracking or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers may present risks to cryptographic systems and the Services, which could result in the theft or loss of your assets.

(p) we will have no responsibility or liability for the risks set forth in this Section 13. You hereby irrevocably waive, release and discharge all claims, whether known or unknown to you, against the Company Parties related to any of the risks set forth in this Section 13.

(ii) This limitation of liability section applies whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damage. The foregoing limitation of liability shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

**15. Limitations as Allowed by Law**

Some states, provinces and other jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion and limitations of certain implied warranties, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
