Staking risks

The eight xHISS staking risk disclosures, stated plainly: contract risk, no promised outcome, exit timing, price risk, pause scope, admin trust, review scope, self-custody.

Staking $HISS for xHISS carries real risks. This page states them plainly — the same eight disclosures rendered on /app/stake, with the reasoning behind each. Nothing here is softened, and nothing on any HISS surface may contradict it.

The eight disclosures

  1. Smart-contract risk. The vault is immutable once deployed — that removes upgrade-rug risk but also means a bug cannot be patched. A defect could impair or lose staked HISS.
  2. No promised outcome. Reward injections are discretionary fee routing under a disclosed split. If no verified HISS-token trading fees arrive, the share value does not increase. Historical fee distributions are not forecasts.
  3. Exit timing risk. Unstaking takes a 72-hour cooldown, then a 2-day redeem window. You cannot exit during the cooldown, and a missed window means restarting it. Escrowed shares keep repricing with the vault in both directions of time — the rate at redeem is the rate you get.
  4. Token price risk. HISS can lose value. Staking does not hedge, protect, or offset a falling HISS price — xHISS is denominated in HISS, not dollars.
  5. Pause risk. The Safe can pause staking and injections (for example during an incident). Exits are deliberately not pausable — cooldown and redeem always function.
  6. Admin trust assumptions. The 2-of-3 Treasury Safe controls the injector list and the pause switch. The 50/30/10/10 sourcing policy is enforced by fail-closed off-chain tooling — the contract itself accepts any HISS an approved injector sends.
  7. Review scope. No known unresolved Critical or High findings after internal launch review. That is an internal review, not an external audit — it reduces risk; it does not eliminate it.
  8. Self-custody risk. Transactions are irreversible. A wrong receiver address on redeem, a lost key, or a compromised wallet cannot be undone by HISS — HISS holds no custody and cannot reverse anything.
