Risks

Smart contract risk

As a user of Obligate, it is important to understand the potential risk associated with smart contracts. Smart contracts are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement written directly into the code. They provide tamper-proof and enforceable agreements, but also have inherent risks in their complex nature, especially with the value they hold.

The Obligate team takes this risk very seriously and has taken the necessary steps to ensure the safety and security of our smart contracts. The most recent version of the smart contracts was designed in accordance with CMTA Token standard and has been through a rigorous audit process by a reputable security firm Sec3.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the smart contracts used on Obligate, please reach out to us at hello@obligate.com, we're happy to help.

Default risk

The risk of default on a lending platform is the potential for a borrower to not be able to repay the eNotes by the maturity date. Investors should thoroughly review the borrowing company and issuance before subscribing to estimate and limit default risk exposure.

Obligate also offers credit risk information provided by Credora. Credit information helps issuers increase trust with investors.
