IMPORTANT NOTE: Staking crypto assets involves risks, including but not limited to: (a) slashing penalties that may result in partial or total loss of staked assets due to validator misbehavior or downtime; (b) smart contract risk, including the possibility of bugs or vulnerabilities in the protocol or infrastructure software; (c) illiquidity risk, as staked assets may be subject to unbonding periods during which they cannot be transferred or sold; (d) regulatory risk, as the legal and regulatory treatment of staking activities and related tokens varies by jurisdiction and is subject to change; and (e) protocol risk, including changes to the Ethereum network's consensus rules or reward structure. SSV Network does not guarantee any particular level of staking rewards. Rewards are determined by the Ethereum protocol and are subject to variability based on network conditions. Past reward rates are not indicative of future performance. cSSV tokens are receipt tokens representing a user's staked SSV position. They are not investment contracts, securities, or financial instruments. cSSV tokens do not entitle holders to returns beyond the protocol-defined rewards attributable to the underlying staked assets.
