Know the main risks

Risk	Where it matters	What to check
Market and price risk	Every live workflow	The asset can move against the setup. HawkFi does not guarantee future returns.
Impermanent loss	Liquidity Providing positions	Compare fees and PnL with Pair HODL, Manual LP, token inventory, and drawdown.
Adverse selection and toxic fills	MEV Boost LP positions	MEV Boost can reduce exposure to anticipated toxic flow, but it cannot eliminate adverse selection or impermanent loss.
Inventory drift	LP positions	Check the ending token mix, inventory skew, TVL breakdown, and whether PnL came with unwanted exposure.
Model mismatch	Models	A model optimized for one asset class or market regime may not fit another. Test the pool and market window first.
Backtest overconfidence	HawkFi Laboratory	Historical results are research. They do not predict future returns or remove live execution differences.
Network and funding limits	LP positions	Keep enough SOL for the workflow and review priority fee settings when transactions fail.

MEV Boost Alpha risks

MEV Boost is an opt-in Alpha feature for eligible Meteora DLMM LP positions. Cross-pool opportunities may not appear, may be missed, or may fail to execute because of pool conditions, available liquidity, market movement, or unsuccessful transactions. Removing and requoting liquidity can help reduce exposure to unfavourable flow, but the resulting placement or spread may not be profitable.

MEV Boost does not guarantee higher PnL, prevent impermanent loss, eliminate adverse selection, or make every LP position profitable.

Before using live capital

1. Choose the workflow and open its current fee source.

2. Decide which market, inventory, and drawdown risks you can monitor.

3. Test the configuration in HawkFi Laboratory when the mode is available.

4. Fund an amount that matches the risk you are prepared to manage.

5. Define what would make you pause, change, or exit the setup.
