The applicable regulatory regimes and Applicable Laws governing blockchain technologies, blockchain assets and the purchase and sale of blockchain assets are uncertain, and new laws, regulations or policies of applicable jurisdictions may materially adversely affect the development of Third Party Blockchains and the use of blockchain assets.

4.9 Development of Blockchain. Blockchain is a nascent and rapidly changing technology and there remains relatively small use of blockchain networks and blockchain assets in the retail and commercial marketplace.

Third-party software components, including open source software, may not be represented, maintained or monitored by an official organization or authority or any such maintenance or monitoring may not be adequate to protect against exploitable flaws. Third parties may introduce weaknesses or bugs into the core infrastructure elements of the blockchain network. This could result in the corruption of the software code which may result in the loss or theft of blockchain assets. Blockchain networks may be the target of malicious attacks seeking to identify and exploit weaknesses in the software. Such events may result in a loss of trust in the security and operation of blockchain networks and a decline in user activity which could have a negative impact on any blockchain assets you own.

4.11 Staking Rewards. The staking rewards that you may receive from the protocols that you access through the Services may subject you to Applicable Laws. The treatment of staking rewards under the Applicable Laws is uncertain and there can be no assurance that staking rewards will not be deemed to be sales of securities. You may be required to comply with these Applicable Laws. Failure to comply with such laws may lead to civil or criminal penalties.

4.12 Changes in Law. There is substantial regulatory uncertainty surrounding the treatment of blockchain assets by regulators around the world. There can be no assurance as to how regulatory agencies will treat blockchain assets in the future but continued increased enforcement and regulation is expected. Legislation passed in any applicable jurisdiction may affect the treatment of blockchain assets in such jurisdiction.
