This includes smart contract risk, which involves the possibility of a bug within the protocol’s code. Drops DAO will undertake the appropriate measures including third-party audits to minimize this risk, however there is always a non-zero chance that a bug may remain. There is also a liquidation risk associated with using the borrowing function in the protocol. Users are clearly communicated collateral ratios and limits, which will need to be adhered to in order to avoid liquidation of the collateral. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.drops.co/links/risks.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
