What this page covers
This is the formal investment disclaimer for the EDMA protocol, the $EDM token, and any participation in the active presale or subsequent secondary market trading. The page is organized into three sections: (1) six categories of material risk that all participants should consider, (2) six acknowledgments that participants make as a condition of participation, and (3) general legal notices and limitations of liability.
This disclaimer is not exhaustive. It covers the most material risks and acknowledgments identifiable at the time of writing. Cryptocurrency markets, regulatory environments, and technical infrastructure all evolve; risks not described here may emerge over time. Forward-looking statements on this site involve uncertainty and may differ materially from actual outcomes. The EDMA team encourages every participant to consult their own qualified legal, financial, and tax advisors before any participation decision and to revisit those decisions as conditions change.
CATEGORIES OF RISK
Participation in the EDMA presale and any subsequent secondary market trading involves multiple categories of risk. The list below is not exhaustive; it covers the most material categories that all participants should consider before any purchase. Each category warrants independent consideration with your own legal, financial, and tax advisors.
R1
Market and liquidity riskVolatility, drawdowns
The value of $EDM and any other tokens in the EDMA suite may fluctuate substantially, including drops to or near zero. Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile, can experience sudden liquidity events, and historically have produced both significant gains and total losses for participants. Past performance of other crypto assets does not predict future results for $EDM. You should only commit funds you can afford to lose entirely.
R2
Regulatory riskJurisdiction-dependent
Cryptocurrency regulation varies significantly by jurisdiction and continues to evolve. The legal status of $EDM may change in your jurisdiction during the life of your holding. Regulatory actions, enforcement decisions, or legislative changes may affect the protocol's ability to operate, the token's transferability, or your personal tax and reporting obligations. You are responsible for understanding and complying with the applicable laws in your jurisdiction; this site does not provide legal advice.
R3
Technical riskSmart contracts, infrastructure
Smart contracts may contain bugs or vulnerabilities that allow loss of funds despite audit clearance. Audits reduce but do not eliminate this risk. The protocol depends on the security of the underlying Ethereum network, the security of wallet software, and the integrity of attestor and oracle data sources. Loss of seed phrases, private keys, or hardware wallet access results in permanent loss of associated tokens; the protocol cannot recover lost wallets.
R4
Execution and project riskRoadmap delivery
The EDMA roadmap describes planned milestones including mainnet launch, marketplace activation, and the broader protocol rollout. Execution depends on technical development, regulatory progress, capital availability, partnership formation, and market conditions. Milestones may be delayed, modified, or in extreme cases not delivered. Forward-looking statements on this site reflect current intent and assumptions; actual outcomes may differ materially.
R5
Liquidity and vesting riskLock periods, exit timing
Presale $EDM is subject to a 12-month lock followed by 20 percent quarterly unlocks over 15 months (27 months total from TGE to fully unlocked). During the lock period, tokens cannot be transferred or sold; you cannot exit your position regardless of market conditions or personal circumstances. After unlock, secondary market liquidity for $EDM may be limited at any given time, particularly outside major DEX pools. Exiting a position may take time or move the price against you.
R6
Counterparty and operational riskExchanges, custodians, validators
Where the protocol or its users interact with third parties — exchanges, custodians, validator operators, registry partners, oracle providers — those third parties carry their own operational risks. Exchange failures, custodian insolvency, validator misbehavior, or registry disputes may impact the value or accessibility of $EDM or related tokens. The protocol design aims to limit these dependencies but cannot eliminate them entirely.
The risk categories above represent the most material risks identifiable at the time of writing. They are not exhaustive and the relative importance of each may change over time. You should consult your own legal, financial, and tax advisors before making any participation decision.
Six categories of risk. R1 market and liquidity risk (volatility, potential total loss). R2 regulatory risk (varies by jurisdiction, continues to evolve). R3 technical risk (smart contracts, infrastructure, self-custody). R4 execution and project risk (forward-looking statements may differ). R5 liquidity and vesting risk (12-month lock, no early exit). R6 counterparty and operational risk (exchanges, custodians, validators).
Understanding each risk category
Market and liquidity risk (R1) is the most universal: $EDM may decline in value, including to or near zero. Past performance of other crypto assets does not predict future results for $EDM. Only commit funds you can afford to lose entirely.
Regulatory risk (R2) means the legal status of $EDM in your jurisdiction may change during your holding period. Regulatory actions, enforcement decisions, or new legislation may affect the protocol's operation, the token's transferability, or your personal obligations. You are responsible for understanding the laws applicable to you.
Technical risk (R3) covers smart contract vulnerabilities (audits reduce but do not eliminate this risk), Ethereum network security, wallet software security, and attestor/oracle data integrity. Loss of seed phrases or hardware wallet access results in permanent loss; the protocol cannot recover lost wallets.
Execution and project risk (R4) covers forward-looking aspects of the roadmap — mainnet launch, marketplace activation, partnership formation, regulatory progress. These may be delayed, modified, or in extreme cases not delivered. Actual outcomes may differ materially from current intent.
Liquidity and vesting risk (R5) matters specifically because the presale lock prevents exit during the 12-month lock period regardless of market conditions or personal circumstances. After unlock, secondary market depth may be limited.
Counterparty and operational risk (R6) covers third-party dependencies — exchanges, custodians, validators, registry partners, oracle providers. Failures at these counterparties may impact $EDM value or accessibility.
PARTICIPATION ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
By participating in the EDMA presale or interacting with the protocol, you acknowledge each of the following points. These acknowledgments are foundational expectations between EDMA and any participant; they should be read and understood before any purchase.
A1

The content is informational only and reflects the protocol design and team's understanding. You should consult your own qualified advisors before making any participation decision.
A2
No solicitation in restricted jurisdictions
Cryptocurrency offerings are restricted or prohibited in certain jurisdictions. The information on this site does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy $EDM or any other token in any jurisdiction where such offer or solicitation would be unlawful. You are responsible for confirming that your participation is lawful in your jurisdiction; the EDMA team does not provide jurisdictional legal advice.
A3
Forward-looking statements
Statements on this site about future events, mainnet launch, exchange listings, marketplace activation, partnership formation, technical milestones, and similar future-oriented content are forward-looking and reflect current intent and assumptions.

No guarantee of value or utility
$EDM and other tokens in the EDMA suite are not guaranteed to retain any specific value, achieve any specific exchange listing price, or provide any specific utility.

A5
Self-custody and personal responsibility
Participants are responsible for the security of their wallets, seed phrases, private keys, and any other access credentials. The EDMA team cannot recover lost wallets, restore forgotten seed phrases, or reassign allocations from one wallet to another. Loss of access credentials results in permanent loss of associated tokens. Use established wallet software, store seed phrases in multiple secure locations, and consider hardware wallets for significant holdings.
A6
Tax responsibility
Crypto transactions may have tax implications in your jurisdiction, including but not limited to capital gains, income recognition on rewards, and reporting obligations.
