# ZenChain Warnings

The use of ZenChain does not come without risks. Before using the platform, it is important to research and understand the risks involved in using ZenChain.&#x20;

**Users should NEVER supply your life savings, or assets you can't afford to lose, on ZenChain.**&#x20;

## Smart Contract Audits

While we do our best to eliminate all the possible risks, DeFi is an industry where events that no one predicted can occur. Security audits do not eliminate risks completely. Please do not deposit your life savings, or assets you can’t afford to lose, into ZenChain .&#x20;

Asset deposits are subject to systematic risks, which means that price fluctuations and market changes affect the market value of collateral deposited into ZenChain, and may result in trading losses for traders using ZenChain

In the event that a user's trading losses exceed the liquidation threshold, the user's trading portfolio and collateral assets will be fully liquidated to pay back lender funds.&#x20;

Users should be aware that negative trading outcomes may result in the potential loss of all collateral deposited by the user.
