Risks and Disclosures

HIPPO AI (the “Service”) is a trading terminal for Robinhood Chain, provided by the operator of HIPPO AI (the “Operator”). It shows market data and automated analysis, prepares trades that you sign in your own wallet, and can place automatic trades from a trading account that you own, within limits that you sign.

This page explains the main risks of using the Service. It is not a complete list. Nothing on the Service is investment, financial, legal or tax advice, and nothing on it is a promise of profit.

• Crypto assets, and newly launched meme tokens in particular, are extremely volatile. Their price can fall to zero within minutes.
• You can lose all of the money you put in, including everything held in your trading account.
• Liquidity can be thin or disappear. You may be unable to sell at the price shown, or at all.
• Scores, rankings, past results and profit-and-loss figures shown on the Service say nothing reliable about future prices.

The HIPPO Score, AI Picks, signals, rankings, reasons and agent outputs are produced automatically by software from third-party data. No person reviews them before they are shown. They are not advice and not a recommendation to buy or sell anything.

• They can be wrong, incomplete or misleading — including for tokens built to look healthy.
• The data comes from third parties such as GMGN, DexScreener, GeckoTerminal, DefiLlama, GoPlus and OpenNews / OpenTwitter (6551). It can be delayed, missing or wrong.
• When GMGN limits requests or is unavailable, the Service may show the last data it received, labelled with the time it was fetched instead of as live. Check that time before acting.
• Automatic trading does not act on data marked as stale. When no fresh GMGN price is available for an exit check, it may use a DexScreener price under fixed rules, or skip the check for that minute.
• News headlines and social posts come from third parties and may be false, promotional or manipulated.
• Score weights you save on the Strategy page only change the preview on that page. Automatic trading uses the default weights.

Automatic trading is optional. It runs from a dedicated trading account (a MetaMask smart account) that you own and fund. You sign permissions (delegations) that let the Operator's server-side operator address place trades from that account, only within the limits written into those permissions. The Operator never receives your private key.

• Per order: at most $10 (at least $1). The permission records this ceiling in ETH with 3× headroom, so that ETH price moves do not block orders.
• Per day: at most $100 worth of ETH may be spent on buys.
• Expiry: permissions last at most 7 days, and each permission can be used at most 500 times. After that you must sign again.
• Positions: at most 5 tokens held at the same time.
• Allowed actions: swaps on Uniswap v4 whose output always returns to your trading account, and the token approvals needed to sell. Pons bonding-curve trades, transfers and withdrawals are not delegated.

Fee: 0.5% of the ETH paid on each automatic buy, or received on each automatic sale, is sent in ETH from your trading account to the Operator's fee address, as a separate transaction after the trade is recorded. The fee is capped at $25 per trade and $50 per day, and by the limits in the fee permission you signed; above those caps a smaller fee, or none, is taken. If sending the fee fails, no fee is taken. The trade itself always stands. 30% of each fee actually collected is recorded as a credit for the referrer saved when your account was created, if there is one.

• You can pause or turn off automatic trading on the Auto Trade page at any time, revoke the permissions on-chain, and withdraw ETH from the trading account to your own wallet. Withdrawing does not need the Operator's servers.
• While automatic trading is paused or turned off, and once the permissions have expired or been revoked, no automatic orders are placed at all — including take-profit, stop-loss and trailing-stop sells.
• Positions still open at that moment stay in your trading account and keep their full market risk. Nothing will sell them automatically.
• When your daily loss limit is reached, or the trading account balance is too low for the next order, new buys stop but exits stay active.
• Automatic trading can also stop or be delayed for reasons outside your control: an outage of the Service, its database, the RPC or data providers, missing prices, failed simulations, or the operator address running low on gas. Exits may not be executed during that time.

• Every order is simulated before it is sent, but the price can move between the simulation and the moment the transaction is included in a block.
• Orders accept slippage (by default 3%) and can execute at a worse price than expected. Pool fees and token taxes reduce what you receive.
• Transactions can fail, revert or stay pending. A failed transaction sent from your own wallet can still cost gas, and a failed or delayed order can miss an exit.

The operator address is controlled by a private key held on the Operator's servers. If that key leaked, an attacker could — until you revoke or the permissions expire — spend up to your daily budget on bad swaps, and sell tokens held in your trading account at bad prices, for example into a pool they control.

They could not transfer ETH or tokens out of the trading account directly, touch your main wallet, or use the permissions from any other address. The one exception is the fee permission: up to about $50 per day (fixed in ETH when you sign) could be sent as fees, and only to the Operator's fee address. To keep this risk small: hold only a small balance in the trading account, keep expiries short, and revoke when you are done.

Unless automatic execution is switched to live on the server, automatic trading runs in check-only mode: it makes decisions and simulates them, records them as simulated, and sends no trades. The Auto Trade page shows which mode is active. Simulated results are not real results and do not predict live performance.

Every order, manual or automatic, is refused above the site ceiling of $1,000: buys by the ETH paid, sells by the ETH received. Buys can never go above it.

You can allow sells above the ceiling yourself — separately for automatic trading (on the Auto Trade page) and for manual trading (in Settings). Both are off by default. With this on, a large sale is sent at whatever price the market gives within your slippage.

• You sign every manual transaction in your own wallet. The Service prepares and simulates the transaction but cannot send it for you.
• Manual orders have a per-order cap that you set in Settings. It starts at $10 and cannot exceed the site ceiling of $1,000. If the ETH price is unavailable, the cap cannot be checked and no order is prepared.
• Sells above your cap are only possible if you turn that on yourself in Settings. Buys always keep the cap.
• Selling can first require token approvals for the exact amount, which expire after 30 minutes.
• Check the token, amount, route and minimum received in your wallet before signing. A confirmed transaction cannot be reversed by anyone.

• The Service depends on Robinhood Chain and its RPC endpoints, Uniswap v4 (Universal Router and Permit2), Pons Launchpad contracts and the MetaMask Delegation Framework. These are operated by third parties, not by the Operator.
• Smart contracts can contain bugs and can be exploited. Chains can halt, reorganise or become congested, and network fees can rise sharply.
• Tokens are smart contracts that anyone can write. They can hide fees, blacklists, minting, pausable transfers or other traps.
• Blockchain transactions are public and final.

Before an automatic buy, the Service checks the token with GoPlus Security and applies fixed hard rules — for example, no buy when GoPlus reports a honeypot, when the token cannot be sold, or when the buy or sell tax is above 10%. If the check is unavailable or out of date, no automatic buy is placed. Manual orders into contracts the Service flags as blocked are refused.

These checks reduce the risk of honeypots, rug pulls and other scams, but they do not remove it. A token can pass every check and still become worthless, and security data from third parties can be wrong or late. A token that is not flagged is not therefore safe.

• Keep your wallet, seed phrase and devices secure. The Service never asks for your private key or seed phrase — anyone who does is not the Service.
• Check the site address before connecting a wallet, and read every permission and transaction before signing.
• Decide for yourself whether a trade is right for you. Losses from your trades are yours.
• You are responsible for any taxes on your trades and for complying with the laws and regulations that apply where you live. Do not use the Service where that is not permitted.
