**Disclaimer:**

Pudu Finance encourages saving in dollars through USDC as a more stable option to preserve the value of your savings. However, it is important to note that staking carries inherent risks due to the volatility of the cryptocurrency market.

We have chosen the Fuse network to operate Pudú Finance due to its speed, stability, and low transaction fees. Nevertheless, even the most robust blockchain networks can face technical or market challenges.

We remind all users never to invest more money than they can afford to lose. Cryptocurrencies, including stablecoins, utility tokens, and governance tokens, are high-risk assets, and their value can fluctuate significantly.
