# Known Risks & Safeguards

Even with audits and testing, building on blockchain carries risks. Here are the main ones and how we plan to mitigate them:

* **On‑chain contracts & logic:** Undiscovered bugs may exist.\
  **Mitigation:** Audited contracts, gradual rollouts, parameter guards/limits, event monitoring, and fast patches.
* **Infrastructure (RPC, indexers, bots):** Outages or latency may affect mint, market, or leaderboards.\
  **Mitigation:** Multiple RPC providers with fallback, retries/queues, alerts, and status dashboards.
* **Storage (IPFS):** Slow/intermittent gateways may affect image/metadata loads.\
  **Mitigation:** Redundant pinning and **multiple gateways** configured.
* **Game integrity (Arcade):** Bots or cheating may distort rankings.\
  **Mitigation:** Server‑side validations, signatures/nonces, anomaly detection, manual reviews, and disqualification when needed.
* **Marketplace liquidity & adoption:** Early on, supply/demand may be thin.\
  **Mitigation:** Listing campaigns, UX improvements, ecosystem visibility, and partner collaboration.
* **Partner dependency:** Changes on partner projects may impact campaigns or cross‑rewards.\
  **Mitigation:** Phased agreements, clear objectives, shared metrics; replacements or adjustments if necessary.
* **User experience (onboarding):** Wallet or mobile friction may limit participation.\
  **Mitigation:** Step‑by‑step guides, broad wallet compatibility, and continuous flow improvements.
* **Prize sustainability:** Unbalanced prize seasons may be hard to maintain.\
  **Mitigation:** Gradual seasonal adjustments, transparent communication, and pilot tests before scaling.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://whitepaper.moouniverse.fun/risks-and-mitigations/known-risks-and-safeguards.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
