The materials, software interfaces, smart contracts, and services made available through Hotstuff L1 are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis and are intended solely to facilitate interaction with decentralized blockchain protocols.
Hotstuff L1 does not provide investment advice, financial advice, legal advice, tax advice, or any other professional advice.

Hotstuff L1 operates a non-custodial, decentralized protocol. Hotstuff does not custody user assets, does not control private keys or wallets, does not execute or settle transactions on behalf of users, and does not have the ability to reverse, modify, or cancel blockchain transactions. All interactions with the protocol are initiated solely by users through self-custodied wallets and occur on public, permissionless blockchain networks.
The Services may rely on or integrate with third-party software, blockchain networks, wallets, data providers, oracles, bridges, or other services that are not owned or controlled by Hotstuff.

Use of blockchain technology, digital assets, decentralized finance protocols, and derivative or leveraged products involves substantial risk, including the risk of partial or total loss of funds. Market volatility, liquidity constraints, smart contract vulnerabilities, oracle failures, network congestion, and regulatory changes may result in losses that are rapid, significant, and irreversible. Users assume full responsibility for evaluating and bearing these risks.
If the protocol enables leveraged or derivative trading, you acknowledge that such products carry a high risk of liquidation and rapid loss of funds. Liquidations are executed automatically by smart contracts based on protocol rules and market conditions, and Hotstuff has no ability to prevent, delay, reverse, or modify such events.
