RISKS RELATED TO MINTING 
1 The process of Minting tokens might involve the following non-exhaustive list of risks:
a) Technical risks - Minting involves the use of complex computer software and hardware systems, which may be vulnerable to technical failures, errors, or hacking attempts. These risks could result in loss of minted tokens, personal data breaches, and other unforeseen issues.
b)  Legal and regulatory risks: Minting may be subject to legal and regulatory requirements, which could change over time. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in fines, penalties, or other legal consequences.
c)  Market risks: Minting may be affected by market volatility, which can lead to fluctuations in the value of the minted tokens. The market value of the tokens could be impacted by changes in supply and demand, changes in regulations, or other macroeconomic factors.
d) Any other risks beyond the control of LFi: including but not limited to network difficulty, transaction volume, power failure, hardware failure, or other incidents outside the control of LFi.
