security and risks

the honest list

  • Coins fail. A new coin can lose nearly all of its value within minutes.
  • Smart contract risk. Contracts can have bugs, including after an audit. Audit status is TBD, and none has been published.
  • A new chain. Elysium is just launching. Sequencer downtime, bridge issues and unexpected behaviour are possible.
  • Bridge risk. Moving assets across chains adds its own failure modes.
  • MEV. Your trade can be front-run or sandwiched. See fairness and safety.
  • Offerings are not a promise. An offering only burns a god if the worshipping coin keeps trading. When volume stops, offerings stop.
  • A god can die. See offerings.
  • Impersonation. Anyone can launch a coin with any name, including the name of something you trust. Check the address.
  • Regulation. Crypto assets may be restricted where you live. You are responsible for following your local law.

protecting yourself

  • Read a coin's fee, split and god before you buy.
  • Use a dedicated wallet, and never approve more than you need.
  • Never share a seed phrase. PITHOS will never ask for it.
  • There is no $PITHOS contract yet. A link offering one is a scam.
