AlphaRank Financial and Investment Disclaimer
Version: 1.1 Alpha | Effective Date: July 9, 2026
Do not trade or invest based solely on AlphaRank. AlphaRank is a social market commentary and reputation platform. It does not provide personalized advice, execute trades, custody assets, or verify that a user entered an actual position. User calls, scores, rankings, receipts, and market data can be wrong, delayed, incomplete, manipulated, or unsuitable for your circumstances.
1. No Financial or Professional Advice
AlphaRank, Star Forge LLC, and their owners, employees, contractors, affiliates, and service providers do not provide financial, investment, trading, legal, tax, accounting, compliance, or regulatory advice through the Service.
Nothing on AlphaRank is personalized to your financial circumstances, objectives, risk tolerance, knowledge, experience, tax position, liquidity needs, or legal restrictions. Content is provided for general social, informational, educational, entertainment, and record-keeping purposes only.
2. No Regulated Intermediary or Fiduciary Relationship
AlphaRank is not a broker, dealer, exchange, alternative trading system, investment adviser, commodity trading adviser, portfolio manager, custodian, transfer agent, clearing agency, signal service, trading venue, or copy-trading platform.
AlphaRank does not execute or route orders, hold funds or crypto assets, connect to exchange or brokerage accounts, determine suitability, provide individualized recommendations, or undertake a fiduciary duty. No adviser-client, broker-customer, fiduciary, agency, or similar relationship is created.
3. User Calls Are Third-Party Opinions
Calls, theses, updates, profiles, and other user content are created by users and represent their opinions. AlphaRank does not adopt, verify, endorse, or recommend a user opinion merely because it is displayed, scored, ranked, labeled, trending, or selected as a best call.
Users may be wrong, biased, conflicted, anonymous, unqualified, compensated, dishonest, or attempting to influence a market. Although AlphaRank requires disclosures and prohibits paid promotion during the alpha, we cannot guarantee that every user complies or that every disclosure is complete.
4. Scores and Rankings Are Not Investment Performance
AlphaRank scores, Alpha Slots, Slot Bankrolls, ranks, badges, receipts, and Hall of Fame labels are game and reputation mechanics. They are not audited returns, brokerage records, verified track records, actual profit and loss, risk-adjusted performance, or a recommendation to follow or copy a user.
Scoring may omit real-world factors such as bid-ask spread, liquidity, market impact, slippage, fees, taxes, funding, borrow cost, borrow availability, leverage, margin, liquidations, gas, venue access, position size, partial fills, corporate actions, token migrations, staking rewards, or whether an actual trade could be executed.
A high score or rank does not mean a user is qualified, licensed, trustworthy, prudent, safe to follow, or likely to be correct in the future. A low score does not prove the opposite.
5. Past Performance and Hypothetical Results
Past performance does not predict future results. Hypothetical, modeled, backtested, or score-based results have inherent limitations and may differ materially from real trading.
Market conditions, liquidity, volatility, regulation, technology, asset identifiers, and scoring methods can change. No result, receipt, or leaderboard position is promised to persist.
6. Market Data Limitations
Market data may come from third parties and may be delayed, stale, incomplete, inaccurate, duplicated, manipulated, unavailable, or inconsistent across exchanges, chains, pools, or providers.
A displayed price may be a reference, composite, pool, last-trade, midpoint, or provider-calculated value and may not be executable. Thin or manipulated markets can produce extreme or misleading values. AlphaRank may correct, replay, cap, void, or remove scores when data is unreliable.
7. Crypto and Digital Asset Risks
Crypto assets and related products can be highly volatile, speculative, illiquid, technologically complex, and subject to fraud, hacks, exploits, governance failures, token dilution, depegs, market manipulation, custody loss, tax uncertainty, and rapid legal or regulatory change.
An asset can lose some or all of its value. A contract address, listing, price, or AlphaRank verification does not establish that an asset is legitimate, lawful, secure, liquid, non-fraudulent, or suitable for any person.
8. Long and Short Call Risks
A long or short label on AlphaRank expresses a direction for scoring purposes. It does not confirm that a user owns, borrowed, sold, hedged, or could execute the position.
Short selling, derivatives, leverage, margin, and borrowing can involve losses greater than an initial amount, liquidation, funding costs, borrow recalls, and legal or platform restrictions. AlphaRank does not model or advise on those risks unless expressly stated.
9. Legal Classification and Availability
A crypto asset or transaction may be subject to securities, commodities, derivatives, money-transmission, sanctions, tax, consumer-protection, or other laws depending on its features, distribution, use, parties, and jurisdiction.
Display or scoring on AlphaRank is not a legal classification and does not mean an asset may lawfully be offered, sold, purchased, shorted, or held by you.
10. Your Responsibility
You are solely responsible for evaluating information, verifying asset identifiers and data, understanding risks, obtaining professional advice, and complying with law. Never invest money you cannot afford to lose. Never disclose private keys, seed phrases, or account credentials.
Before making a financial decision, use independent sources and consider consulting appropriately licensed financial, legal, tax, and other professionals.
11. No Offer or Solicitation
Nothing on AlphaRank is an offer to sell, a solicitation to buy, or a recommendation regarding any security, commodity interest, crypto asset, financial instrument, or strategy. AlphaRank does not participate in user transactions and does not receive transaction-based compensation at launch.
