# Risks

### Risks of ART as Enhanced Gold

GoldFinger is committed to transparency. It is crucial to highlight the risks associated with *ART,* the actions taken to mitigate these risks, as well as plans to further manage and ameliorate these risks.

The value and yield of Aurum Reserve Token ($ART) depend entirely on the performance and security of its underlying gold-related assets. Disruptions to these assets could directly impact $ART’s net asset value (NAV) and user returns.

This section will discuss the following risks:

1. [Gold Price Volatility Risk](/mg-docs/product-guides/aurum-reserve-token/risks/gold-price-volatility-risk.md)
2. [Physical Gold Custody Risk](/mg-docs/product-guides/aurum-reserve-token/risks/physical-gold-custody-risk.md)
3. [Gold Bonds & Mining Fund Default Risks](/mg-docs/product-guides/aurum-reserve-token/risks/gold-bonds-and-mining-fund-default-risks.md)

#### Risk Disclaimer

The above risks are not exhaustive and may be supplemented or updated as market conditions, regulations, or protocol operations change. GoldFinger does not guarantee $ART’s NAV stability, $GF’s price appreciation, or the success of any ecosystem initiatives. Users should carefully evaluate their risk tolerance, conduct independent research, and consult financial advisors before participating in any protocol activities (e.g., minting $ART, staking $GF, borrowing from the lending system). All participation is voluntary, and users bear full responsibility for any losses incurred.
