Investment Risk
The performance of most crypto assets can be highly volatile, with their value dropping as quickly as it can rise. You should be prepared to lose all the money you invest in crypto assets.
Lack of Protections
Crypto assets are largely unregulated and neither the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) nor the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) will protect you in the event something goes wrong with your crypto asset investments.
Liquidity Risk
There is no guarantee that investments in crypto assets can be easily sold at any given time.
Complexity
Investments in crypto assets can be complex, making it difficult to understand the risks associated with the investment. You should do your own research before investing. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Concentration Risk
Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Putting all your money into a single type of investment is risky. Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on anyone to do well. A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments.

- Do I understand the investment and could I get my money out easily?

Pyth Network FAQ
Dive deeper into Pyth Network
Pyth Network is a decentralized oracle solution that provides real-time, high-fidelity financial market data to multiple blockchains. Launched in 2021, Pyth Network was created to address the need for accurate, low-latency market data in the rapidly growing decentralized finance (DeFi) sector. The network sources its data from over 90 first-party publishers, including some of the world's largest exchanges and market makers. Pyth Network's mission is to democratize access to financial market data, making it readily available to DeFi applications and the general public. By doing so, it aims to empower individuals to take control of their financial lives and foster the growth of the DeFi ecosystem.
How does Pyth Network work
Pyth Network operates by incentivizing market participants to share the price data they collect as part of their existing operations. This data is then aggregated and published on-chain for use by on- or off-chain applications. The network uses an appchain called Pythnet to store and update the state of each price feed. Pythnet is a proof-of-authority blockchain where each publisher runs a validator. PYTH prices are broadcast from this appchain to other target chains by way of a cross-chain architecture that uses decentralized cross-chain messaging protocols, such as the Wormhole network.
Pyth Network price and tokenomics
The Pyth Network's native token is PYTH. The maximum supply of PYTH is 10,000,000,000, with an initial circulating supply of 1,500,000,000 (15%). The token distribution is as follows: Publisher Rewards (22%), Ecosystem Growth (52%), Protocol Development (10%), Community and Launch (6%), and Private Sales (10%). The PYTH tokens are initially locked and will unlock 6, 18, 30, and 42 months after the initial token launch. The PYTH token plays a crucial role in the network's governance, allowing token holders to guide protocol development and shape the network.
