When opening a Growth Jar, you should understand that it is not risk free. We work hard to protect your $SWEAT, but we can't guarantee complete safety. These are the main risks to understand before locking funds:
1. Lock-up (illiquidity). Staked $SWEAT is locked until the Jar ends and cannot be withdrawn early — even if you need the funds or the market moves. You can claim earned interest at any time, but the principal stays locked for the full duration.
2. Variable yield (Step Jars). Step Jar APY is not guaranteed: it is recalculated from your previous day's verified steps, so your actual yield depends on your activity and can be far below the maximum advertised rate.
3. Smart-contract risk. Jars run on blockchain smart contracts. As with any on-chain product, bugs or exploits in the contract code are a risk that cannot be fully ruled out.
4. Token price volatility. Your rewards and principal are denominated in $SWEAT. The market price of $SWEAT can go down as well as up — yield in $SWEAT terms does not guarantee value in your local currency.
By creating a Jar you accept these risks. For the full terms, see our Terms & Conditions.
