# Safety & risks

> Protect your sign-in and understand the risks of transactions, permissions and AI research.

Otto is under active development. Features can change, pause or fail. Its research is information, not financial advice; transactions can lose the funds you commit.

## Protect your account

* Use `useotto.xyz` for the app and `docs.useotto.xyz` for these guides. Check the domain before signing.
* Never send a seed phrase, private key, password, login code or access token to support.
* Review the source account, network, token, amount, destination and token approval before signing.
* Protect the email account used for Coinbase sign-in. Wallet recovery and export depend on the provider; exporting a wallet does not export a Safe or revoke another operator's authority.

See [Accounts & permissions](/account-and-settings/accounts-and-permissions) to identify who can sign for each balance.

## Transactions and positions

| Risk                        | What it means                                                                                                     |
| --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Contracts and protocols** | Bugs, exploits or provider failures can cause loss. Audits do not guarantee safety.                               |
| **Bridges and networks**    | Transfers can be delayed or fail under the bridge's settlement rules. A submitted hash is not final confirmation. |
| **Yield**                   | Rates change; markets and vaults can lose value or lack withdrawal liquidity.                                     |
| **Leverage**                | Price moves, funding payments and liquidation can consume the entire margin.                                      |
| **Thin markets**            | A large percentage move can reflect very little liquidity. A displayed price is not an executable quote.          |

Quotes and account state can change after a transaction is prepared. Review a plan against your intent and discard it if expired. For an interrupted transfer, check its saved status before creating another one; follow [Moving funds out](/account-and-settings/removing-funds).

## Permissions and service-operated accounts

An active permission can let Otto act without asking you each time. Its per-action cap is not a total spending budget or loss limit. Stopping permission does not close positions or transfer funds.

Earlier Safes and the Hyperliquid, Polymarket and Otto X service accounts have their own owners, operators and exits. Service outages or execution defects can delay or block an action, including withdrawal. A wallet connection alone does not establish control over those accounts.

## Research and paid calls

AI reports and market data can be wrong, stale or incomplete. Check the stated analysis time, source coverage and limitations. A paid report may use the most recent completed analysis rather than a fresh calculation.

Payment, delivery, retries and refunds follow the specific API or agent contract. Do not assume a failed response means no payment was made, or that a receipt provides unlimited repeat access.

Third-party wallet, data, routing, model and hosting providers have their own terms and availability. For more detail, read [Security & audits](/safety-and-security/security-and-audits), the [Terms & Conditions](/legal/terms-and-conditions) and [Privacy Policy](/legal/privacy-policy).
