Investment risk
Baseline risk: All crypto-assets are risky, regardless of the type of token you hold. Here are some 'baseline' risks to be aware of before deciding to invest.
Investment risk: The performance of most crypto-assets can be highly volatile, with their value dropping as quickly as it can rise. You should be prepared to lose all the money you invest in crypto-assets.
Lack of protections: Crypto-assets are largely unregulated and neither the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) nor the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) will protect you in the event something goes wrong with your crypto-asset investments.
Crypto-assets are complex: It may be difficult to understand the risks associated with a crypto-asset investment. Do your own research and if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket: Putting all your money into a single type of investment is risky. Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on any one to do well. A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments such as crypto-assets.
Defi tokens: Decentralised Finance (or 'DeFi') tokens (e.g. UNI, AAVE) are crypto-assets linked to financial applications and protocols built on decentralised blockchain technology.
Smart contract risk: DeFi relies heavily on smart contracts. Even a minor coding error or oversight can lead to a contract being exploited, potentially resulting in significant losses for DeFi tokens.
Regulatory risk: DeFi operates in a decentralized manner, often without intermediaries or financial crime controls. Regulatory bodies across jurisdictions might introduce new regulations impacting the use, value, or legality of certain DeFi protocols or assets. For example, the Perpetual Protocol (PERP) and Quickstop (QUICK) protocols may be accessible in jurisdictions where some or all the available activity may need to be regulated now or in the future. If a regulator deemed the activity to be in breach of regulation, this could seriously impact token value.
Rug-pulls / Exit scams: Some DeFi projects might be launched by anonymous or pseudonymous teams, increasing the risk of "rug pulls" where developers abandon the project and withdraw funds, leaving investors with worthless tokens.
Data/oracle risk: DeFi protocols often rely on external data sources or 'oracles'. Manipulation or inaccuracies in these data sources can lead to unintended financial outcomes within the protocols.
Protocol complexity: The complexity of some DeFi protocols can make it difficult for average users to fully understand the mechanisms and associated risks.

FAQ
Chainlink (LINK) is a decentralized oracle network that seeks to connect smart contracts on the blockchain with real-world applications. Launched in 2017, Chainlink's goal is to provide smart contracts with data feeds, allowing them to interact with external systems. The network is supported by a diverse community of data providers, node operators, and smart contract developers. Chainlink's approach aims to integrate off-chain data into smart contracts, positioning it within the data processing field. The network also provides opportunities for users to become node operators, contributing to the network's infrastructure and receiving compensation in return.
Chainlink operates by using a network of decentralized oracle nodes. These nodes gather data from external sources, validate it, and relay it to smart contracts on the blockchain. This process enables smart contracts to interact with data that is outside their native blockchain. Chainlink's decentralized nature aims to make the data more reliable and secure, as it is not controlled by a single entity. The network also employs a staking mechanism, where node operators can lock up their LINK tokens as collateral. This collateral may be reduced if a node provides incorrect data, incentivizing honesty and accuracy among node operators.
Chainlink's capability to provide off-chain data to smart contracts opens up a broad range of potential use cases. It can be utilized in decentralized finance (DeFi) applications to provide price feeds, in insurance contracts to verify real-world events, and in gaming platforms to generate verifiable randomness. Chainlink also allows data providers to monetize their data by selling access to it directly through the network. Furthermore, the introduction of LINK staking is intended to incentivize participation, potentially contributing to a more robust oracle network.
Chainlink was co-founded by Sergey Nazarov and Steve Ellis in 2017. Before Chainlink, Nazarov co-founded several tech companies, including SmartContract, a platform that sought to connect smart contracts to external data and bank payments. Ellis, a computer science graduate from New York University, worked as a software engineer before co-founding Secure Asset Exchange, a company that aimed to facilitate easy web access to a decentralized asset exchange. The idea for Chainlink was born out of their shared vision to enable universally connected smart contracts. Since its inception, Chainlink has grown and established partnerships with various data providers.
