# Disclaimer

### Core Principle.

The 3 protocol is a set of **experimental, autonomous smart contracts**. All interactions are high-risk activities conducted at your own risk. the protocol's tokens are **non-financial utility units** within this system. 

### Technical.

The technical documentation describes the intended functions of autonomous code. Descriptions of mechanics, stability, or value accrual refer **only to potential outcomes** of pre-programmed logic, dependent on external markets and faultless operation. **No outcomes are promised or guaranteed.**

**The protocol's native units (GUILD, 3Fi, 3Receipts, 3Pacts, etc.) are not currencies, securities, investment products, or deposit accounts.** They confer no legal rights, claims, or guarantees. 

### Vision.

Documents such as the **Prelude, Synopsis and Philosophy** articulate the **long-term philosophical goals and design thesis** of the protocol. 

Concepts like "sovereign currency" or "economic foundation" are **target properties the system's code is engineered to pursue**. They are **not descriptions of current functionality or promises of future results**.

### General.

You interact with the 3 protocol's smart contracts directly and at your own risk. This includes, but is not limited to, minting, swapping, locking or providing liquidity. 

* **No Control or Management:** The protocol operates autonomously. No team or entity manages its outcomes or will rescue failed transactions. 
* **No Guarantees:** There is no guarantee of liquidity, value retention, or utility for any token.
* **Extreme Risk:** You could loose 100% of any asset used. You are solely responsible for securing your wallet and private keys.
* **No Advice:** This documentation is for informational purposes only and is not financial, legal, or tax advice. 

**By interacting with the 3 protocol, you acknowledge you have read, understood, and accept all risk described in this disclaimer.**
