Risk Disclosures

Smart Contract Risk: Exposure to Yearn contracts and all underlying strategy protocols. Multi-protocol exposure increases attack surface. Strategy Risk: Individual strategies can underperform or experience losses. Yearn mitigates through diversification. DAI Risk: DAI's peg depends on Sky/MakerDAO ecosystem. Collateral issues or governance failures could affect DAI. Transition Risk: DAI is transitioning to USDS in the Sky ecosystem. Long-term DAI status is uncertain. Withdrawal Risk: High utilization in strategies could delay withdrawals. Governance Risk: Yearn and Sky governance control vault and stablecoin parameters. Track Record: This V2 vault has operated since 2020 with reasonable performance history.
