# Security and Risks

Obol Strategy is intended to operate as a strategy token for $KNTQ on Elysium, the Kinetiq L2. As with any crypto asset or smart-contract system, participation involves material risk.

## Key risks

* **Smart contract risk:** contracts may contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or unexpected behavior.
* **Market risk:** $OSTR and related assets may lose substantial or all of their value.
* **Liquidity risk:** there may be insufficient liquidity to buy or sell at an expected price.
* **Launch-tax risk:** the temporary launch tax starts at 90%, which can materially affect trading outcomes.
* **Execution risk:** slippage, network fees, transaction failures, and other market conditions may affect trades.
* **Reserve and operations risk:** the intended 70/30 fee split depends on the actual contract implementation and how funds are managed.
* **Game-feature risk:** Obol Arena and its upgrade/prize-pool mechanics may change or be unavailable.
* **Development risk:** planned mechanics may be delayed, changed, or never delivered.
* **Regulatory and tax risk:** rules vary by jurisdiction and may change.

## What the concept video establishes

The supplied concept video describes:

* A 10% permanent buy/sell tax after a launch window that declines from 90% at the first second to 10% after 65 minutes.
* A 70% / 30% split of buy/sell tax to the $KNTQ reserve and operations.
* A separate 80% / 20% split of $OSTR game-upgrade spending to the treasury and prize pool.

The video describes intended mechanics; it does not prove that contracts are deployed or independently audited. Contract addresses and on-chain verification remain TBA.
