# Appendix - Risks

Providing liquidity involves risks, including impermanent loss, meaning you may not receive the same amount of HMND and WETH upon unstaking. The pool maintains a 50%/50% ratio of HMND to WETH; thus, if HMND's price decreases, the pool increases its HMND holdings, and if HMND's price increases, the pool reduces its HMND holdings. And vice versa for WETH

Additionally, there's a risk of smart contract exploits, particularly in the contracts managing pooled assets and staked liquidity tokens. So, beware of the risks involved while staking.
