DefiShard provides a cryptocurrency wallet solution using Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology to secure your digital assets. The Service includes:
IMPORTANT: Beta Software Warning
DefiShard is currently in BETA testing. This means:
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU USE THIS BETA SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK. ONLY USE FUNDS YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE.
Cryptocurrency transactions carry inherent risks. By using DefiShard, you acknowledge and accept the following risks:
Cryptocurrency prices are highly volatile. The value of your assets may increase or decrease rapidly and substantially.
Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Once confirmed, transactions cannot be undone, cancelled, or charged back. Sending funds to an incorrect address may result in permanent loss.
DeFi protocols use smart contracts that may contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or be subject to exploits. We are not responsible for losses resulting from third-party smart contract failures.
Cryptocurrency regulations are evolving. Future regulatory changes may affect the legality, use, transfer, or value of cryptocurrencies in your jurisdiction.
Blockchain networks may experience congestion, forks, or failures. Network issues may delay transactions or result in higher fees.
Malicious actors may attempt to impersonate DefiShard or trick you into revealing sensitive information. Always verify URLs and never share your key shares or recovery information.
If both your mobile device and computer are compromised simultaneously, your key shares may be at risk. Maintain strong device security practices.
Mitigation: While DefiShard's MPC architecture significantly reduces the risk of single-device compromise, it cannot eliminate all cryptocurrency-related risks. Always exercise caution, verify transactions carefully, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your cryptocurrency transactions and for reporting and remitting taxes to the appropriate authorities. We do not provide tax advice.
