Risks.
Read before you play.
Read before you commit any funds.
Immutable rules don't mean zero risk. This page enumerates every known risk in tiers, including the parts intentionally preserved by design. Read it before sending any funds to the contract.
▲ Immutable. Not safe.
Rebel Throne is an immutable protocol: no admin, no upgrade, no pause. That also means a critical bug has no on-chain remediation path. None of the risks below come with insurance, refunds, or escape hatches.
01 · Phase 1 deadlock risk
Phase 2 can only start once the presale sells out. If 21,000,000 REBEL is not fully subscribed during the presale window, every ETH paid is permanently locked inside RebelPresale, every REBEL minted is permanently illiquid, and no mechanism returns funds to buyers. Estimate the "unsold" probability yourself before participating.
02 · Zero-sum PvP, expected value is zero
The bet layer is a zero-sum redistribution game: 80% of each new entrant's bet flows by share to earlier bettors. Early entrants enjoy strictly higher expected value than late entrants, but the protocol is always solvent (liabilities ≤ reserve) and individual expectations sum to zero. This is not a yield product, not a savings product, and no APY is promised.
03 · Fully immutable, no emergency pause
Once deployed, ABI / bytecode / parameters are frozen. No governance, no upgrade path, no admin who can pause. A critical bug (wrong share math, stuck state machine, missed edge case) can permanently strand funds inside the contract. There is no remediation path and no party with authority to refund.
04 · No admin, no support
devAddr is an anonymous EOA. It can claim the dev portion of the 1% protocol fee and nothing else. It cannot change parameters, pause anything, or recover funds. When things break, there is nobody to roll anything back.
05 · USDT / USDC pool initial-price staleness
The USDT / USDC pool sqrtPriceX96 is hardcoded at deploy time as 0.003 (assuming ETH ≈ $3000). If ETH price drifts significantly between deploy and seedPool, the first LP provider takes an immediate arbitrage loss. This is a known cold-start cost.
06 · Contract-level OFAC / blacklist tail risk
If RebelProtocol's address is sanctioned by Tether / Circle / OFAC, USDT / USDC fee collection, King payouts, and dev withdrawals all fail and the stable pools die permanently (swaps still work but accounting goes sideways). In that scenario ETH / REBEL core solvency is unaffected, but stable-pool entry convenience disappears and there is no on-chain repair.
07 · MEV / builder-bundle front-running
The mempool is public and there is no commit-reveal. The King race, the seedPool + first-swap atomic bundle of round 1, and the threshold-crossing final buy can all be reordered by MEV bots or builder bundles. Normal users cannot win round 1's King seat through fair mempool competition.
08 · Jurisdictional / regulatory uncertainty
Participation may be classified as gambling or as securities in some jurisdictions. The US, EU, Singapore, mainland China and others may be geo-blocked at the frontend, but the contract has no gating ability and on-chain calls remain open. Judge for yourself whether your jurisdiction permits participation.
09 · Your own decision
Sending funds to this contract is your own decision. There is no "trust the dev" step, and no dev to trust. The contract is immutable once deployed, rules are guaranteed solely by on-chain bytecode, and the source is publicly published for independent verification.
