Cookie Chat — Risk Disclosure

Read this before you sign anything

Last updated: 5 October 2026

1. Why this page exists

Cookie Chat answers questions about Cookie Chain and, on request, prepares transactions — swaps, stakes, bridge transfers, names, NFT trades — for your wallet to sign. Crypto assets and the networks they live on carry real risks, and you can lose some or all of what you put in. This page names the main ones. It is not exhaustive, and it is not advice. It sits beside the Terms of Service, which govern your use of the Service.

Only use money you can afford to lose, and only sign what you understand.

2. Market risk

Prices are volatile. Token prices on Cookie Chain can move sharply in minutes, and a token can lose most or all of its value.
Markets are thin. Many tokens trade in small pools with few buyers and sellers. A modest trade can move the price a lot (price impact), a quote can be outdated by the time you sign, and selling a large amount may be impossible without accepting a much lower price.
Figures are snapshots and estimates. Every price, market cap, volume and dollar value on a card is read at the moment you ask, and values marked ≈ are estimates. The amount you end up with can differ.
Past movement says nothing about the future. "Momentum" and other reads of recent trading describe what happened, not what will.

3. Transaction risk

Transactions are irreversible. Once confirmed, nobody — including us — can undo, cancel or refund them. A transfer to the wrong address is lost.
Transactions can fail and still cost network fees, or land later than expected when a network is congested.
Slippage limits protect, but also refuse. A swap carries a minimum amount it must deliver; if the market moves past it, the transaction fails instead of filling. Raising the limit to get through means accepting a worse price.
Some actions take more than one transaction. Buying COOK from Solana, for example, is a purchase and then a bridge transfer. They are separate transactions, not one atomic step, so one can succeed while the other fails or waits, leaving funds on the first chain until you finish.

4. Protocol and smart-contract risk

The actions the Service prepares run on programs operated by third parties — the Cookie Chain swap aggregator and its pools, the staking pool, the NFT marketplace, the .cook name registry, the Hyperlane bridge — and many are built by Cookie Chain's official cookie-mcp toolkit. Any of them can contain bugs, be misconfigured, be changed by their operators, pause, or be exploited. Cookie Chat does not control them and cannot make you whole if one fails.

5. Bridge risk

Moving COOK between Solana and Cookie Chain goes through the Hyperlane bridge: the asset is locked on one side and released on the other by a relayer. Deliveries can be delayed, the destination side can be short of liquidity, and a bridge is a frequent target for attacks. A confirmed transfer on the source chain means the transfer was dispatched, not that it has been delivered.

6. Network risk

Cookie Chain is a young network with a small validator set. It, Solana and the RPC endpoints the Service reads from can slow down, stall, go offline or behave unexpectedly. During an outage a card may show stale data, refuse an action because a check could not run, or a transaction may not land.

7. Wallet and security risk

You are your own custodian. If you lose your seed phrase or it is stolen, your funds are gone and nobody can recover them.
Phishing and imposters are common. Nobody from Cookie Chat will ever ask for your seed phrase or private key, or DM you first offering help. Only @askCookieChat on X and t.me/askCookieChat speak for this app.
Tickers are not unique. Anyone can create a token with the same name or ticker as a well-known one. Check the mint address, not the name. There is exactly one $CHAT contract, published in the tokenomics paper.
Your device matters. Malware, a compromised browser extension or a fake wallet app can alter what you sign. Read your wallet's own summary every time.

8. AI and data risk

Answers are written by an AI model from data fetched when you ask. The model can misread a question or the data, data sources can be wrong, late or unavailable, and curated lists (apps, projects, news) can be out of date. An answer is not a reason to act. Verify anything that matters against the official sources the Service links to.

9. $CHAT risk

$CHAT is a utility token: holding it opens higher tiers of the Service. It carries no right to profits, revenue, ownership or anything else, and its tiers and what they include may change. Like any small-cap token it can be illiquid and its price can fall sharply, including after airdrops or promotions when recipients sell. Locks and vesting described in the tokenomics paper reduce some risks; they do not remove them.

10. Staking risk

Staking COOK through the liquid staking pool gives you a pool token whose value against COOK depends on the pool's exchange rate, fees and the performance of the validators it delegates to. Withdrawing can take time or cost fees, and the pool token can trade below its underlying value.

11. Legal, regulatory and tax risk

The rules for crypto assets differ between countries and are changing. A change in law can affect whether you may use a token, a protocol or the Service itself, and how what you hold is taxed. You are responsible for following the law where you live and for reporting and paying any taxes.

12. No guarantees

Nothing on the Service is a promise of returns, of a price, or of any outcome. If you are unsure whether an action is right for you, do not sign it — and consider speaking to an independent, licensed adviser.
