Legal Disclaimer
1. General Information
DeCA is a decentralized protocol for perpetual futures trading and cooperative investment through on-chain smart contracts. The information presented in this document and on the DeCA platform is provided for general informational purposes only and should not be construed as financial, investment, legal, tax, or any other form of professional advice. Users must conduct their own independent research and seek appropriate professional consultation before engaging in any trading or investment activities.
2. No Financial or Investment Advice
DeCA does not operate as a broker, exchange, custodian, financial advisor, or investment manager. All activities performed through the protocol are executed automatically via smart contracts and are initiated at the discretion of the user. The content provided by DeCA, including simulations, analytics, and performance metrics, is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice or a solicitation to buy, sell, or hold any asset or derivative product.
3. User Responsibility and Risk Disclosure
Trading in digital assets, particularly perpetual futures and leveraged positions, involves a high degree of risk and may result in partial or total loss of funds. By accessing and using DeCA, users acknowledge and accept the following:
All transactions are executed directly on-chain and are irreversible once confirmed.
Users retain full responsibility for managing their private keys, wallet security, and transaction approvals.
Market volatility, smart contract vulnerabilities, and external factors such as oracle failures or blockchain network congestion may cause unexpected outcomes, including liquidation, slippage, or technical malfunction.
Past performance of any trader, pool, or strategy within DeCA does not guarantee future results.
Users must carefully evaluate their risk tolerance and never trade or invest funds that they cannot afford to lose.
4. No Custody and No Intermediaries
DeCA is a non-custodial protocol. It does not at any time have possession or control of user funds. All user assets remain within their connected wallets unless explicitly transferred by the user to a smart contract under the protocol’s terms. DeCA, its developers, and affiliated contributors cannot recover, reverse, or refund any on-chain transactions executed through the protocol.
5. Smart Contract and Technical Disclaimer
While the DeCA smart contracts are designed with security and transparency in mind, no blockchain system is entirely free from vulnerabilities. The protocol may be subject to unforeseen bugs, exploits, or network-level risks. Users acknowledge that:
DeCA makes no warranty, express or implied, regarding the continuous availability, reliability, or functionality of its contracts or interface.
The DeCA team shall not be liable for any losses, damages, or claims arising from contract bugs, exploits, gas price fluctuations, or any other technical incidents.
Users interact with DeCA entirely at their own risk.
6. No Guarantees of Performance
DeCA does not guarantee any specific outcome, profit, or return from participation in trading activities, CoTrade Pools, or any other features of the protocol. Simulations, performance analytics, and historical data are hypothetical in nature and provided solely for educational purposes. They do not represent actual performance or future projections.
7. Decentralized Governance and Third-Party Involvement
DeCA may integrate or interact with third-party protocols, oracles, or liquidity providers. DeCA does not control and cannot guarantee the performance, security, or accuracy of external systems. Any governance decisions or protocol updates are conducted in accordance with decentralized community mechanisms, which may evolve over time. Users are responsible for staying informed about any protocol changes that could affect their participation.
8. Jurisdiction and Regulatory Compliance
DeCA operates as an open-source, decentralized software protocol that can be accessed globally. However, it is the sole responsibility of each user to ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and restrictions in their jurisdiction before using the protocol. DeCA does not make any representations that its services or content are appropriate or available for use in all jurisdictions. Participation may be prohibited or restricted in certain territories. By using DeCA, users represent and warrant that they are not accessing the protocol in violation of any applicable laws or sanctions.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, DeCA, its developers, contributors, affiliates, and partners shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from or related to the use or inability to use the protocol, including but not limited to:
Loss of funds, profits, or data
Unauthorized access or use of user accounts
Technical failures, smart contract errors, or system interruptions
Market fluctuations or liquidation events
Users acknowledge that they participate in DeCA voluntarily and at their own risk.
10. No Partnership or Agency
The use of the DeCA protocol does not create any partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between the user and the DeCA development team or its contributors. All interactions are conducted in a peer-to-protocol capacity under decentralized conditions.
11. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, all intellectual property rights relating to the DeCA brand, design, documentation, and software code belong to their respective owners and are protected under applicable laws. Users are granted a limited, non-exclusive, and revocable license to use the DeCA platform and its content solely for personal and non-commercial purposes.
12. Amendments
DeCA reserves the right to modify, amend, or update this Legal Disclaimer at any time. Any changes will take effect immediately upon publication. Continued use of the protocol after such modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
