Last updated: January 2026

Overview

This Risk Disclosure outlines the potential risks associated with participating in the Dorsium Alpha Network testnet, purchasing hardware for testing, and acquiring Platform Access Licenses (PALs). The dPOINT scoring system has NO monetary value. Users should carefully review this disclosure before engaging with the platform.

1. Testnet Participation Risks

1.1 Testing Environment

The Alpha Network is a testnet environment:

  • No real value is created or exchanged
  • Testnet may be reset at any time
  • Data loss may occur during testing
  • Features may change or be removed without notice

Important: This is a testing platform for development purposes only.

1.2 Technical Risks

Testnet participation involves technical risks:

  • System downtime or maintenance
  • Bug and errors during testing
  • Hardware compatibility issues
  • Network instability during testing phases

Users participate in testing at their own risk.

1.3 No Value Creation

Alpha Network testnet:

  • dPOINT has NO monetary value
  • Cannot be traded, sold, or exchanged
  • Is purely for tracking testing contributions
  • Does not represent any financial instrument

dPOINT is a scoring system only, not a cryptocurrency or token.

2. Hardware Purchase Risks

2.1 Hardware Malfunction

  • Hardware may fail or malfunction
  • Repairs may not be covered after warranty period
  • Testing participation stops if hardware fails
  • No guarantee of hardware replacement

2.2 Obsolescence

  • Hardware may become outdated as technology advances
  • Testnet updates may require hardware updates
  • Testing efficiency may vary
  • Resale value may depreciate

2.3 No Financial Returns

  • Hardware purchases do NOT guarantee profit
  • Electricity costs are user responsibility
  • dPOINT scores have NO monetary value
  • No financial returns are offered or implied

Hardware is sold for Alpha Network testnet participation only, NOT as an investment.

3. Platform Access License (PAL) Risks

3.1 Digital Credential Risk

  • PALs are digital access credentials, NOT physical goods
  • Lost access to account = lost PAL benefits
  • PALs are non-transferable
  • Withdrawal rights limited after digital delivery

3.2 dPOINT Allocation

  • dPOINT has NO monetary value
  • Cannot be traded, sold, or exchanged

  • Allocation amounts may change

3.3 No Financial Returns

  • PALs do NOT guarantee financial returns
  • Benefits are testnet-based (multipliers, bonuses)

PALs are Alpha Network testnet access packages, NOT investment products.

4. Operational Risks

4.1 Testnet Operations

  • System operates in testing mode
  • Features may be incomplete or buggy
  • Testnet may be reset or restarted
  • Data loss may occur during testing

This is a development environment, not a production system.

4.2 Team Dependence

5.3 User Obligations
