Risks, in plain words

This page lists every way you can lose money using Corso, what Corso's AI does and doesn't do, and what Corso can't touch. We would rather you read it before you buy than find it out after.

Every line here was checked against the app's code and the live service on the date below. If a line stops being true, we change this page and record the change at the bottom.

What Corso can and can't do

Corso moves nothing without you

Corso never buys or sells on its own. When you swap, Corso prepares the transaction and shows it to you on a review screen. Nothing is signed until you approve it.

Corso's servers can't sign for you

Corso does not move your funds on its own. Corso's servers cannot sign for your wallet. Corso cannot freeze, reverse or recover your assets.

Keys

If you sign in with email, Google or Apple, your wallet is provided by Privy, and Corso holds no key material for it. Corso does hold keys of its own, to run its own systems.

No interest, no lending

Corso does not hold cash for you, does not take deposits, and does not pay interest or yield.

What Corso's AI does and doesn't do

The risk read on each coin is not AI. It is a fixed set of rules that runs on Corso's server, so the same token on the same data gets the same answer.

Ask is the part of Corso that uses an AI model. It answers questions about what you hold and the coins you see in the app. It explains what you're looking at. If you name a trade, it can open the swap screen with that trade filled in, and you review and approve it there like any other swap.

Ask does not pick what to buy, does not recommend a mix, does not predict prices and does not trade for you. When asked, it says so in these words:

"I don't pick for you. Name it and I'll show you the trade."
"That's your call. I can show you the trade when you decide."
"I don't know where prices go. Nobody does."

Ask can get things wrong. The review screen is what you approve, so read it, not the chat.

If you set a target mix, you set it. It stays on your phone, and Corso does not pick one for you.

Every way you can lose money

1. The price falls

Anything you buy can fall in price, quickly and by a lot. Corso doesn't promise a price and doesn't predict one. The risk read checks how a token is built and traded. It doesn't predict the price.

2. A bad or fake token

You can only buy coins on Corso's list: SOL, USDC, USDT, PYUSD, cbBTC, ETH and ZEC. You can't paste an address to buy something else, and Corso's server refuses any other coin.

Every coin gets a risk read before you buy, and a buy is blocked if the read is missing or out of date. The read checks:

whether the token is marked as one that can't be sold or moved, or is paused or frozen by default;
who can create more of it, who can freeze it, and whether anyone can move it out of your account;
how much can be traded, and how much of it the top 10 holders own;
ratings from outside data providers, including RugCheck.

What it doesn't do: it doesn't test-sell the token, it doesn't predict the price, and it can't tell you whether an issuer will use the powers it has.

Anyone can send any token to your address. Corso's list limits what you can buy, not what you can be sent. A token you didn't ask for can be a lure. Don't trust it because it arrived.

3. Slippage and failed swaps

A price can move between your quote and the moment the swap settles. Corso has no slippage setting. Jupiter sets the tolerance for each swap, and the review screen shows the least you will receive before you approve. If your own trade moves the price by more than 1%, the review screen tells you so.

If the price moves too far, the swap fails. Nothing is swapped, but the Solana network fee can still be spent. Quotes expire, and an expired quote has to be reviewed again. Now and then a swap is sent but not confirmed in time. It may still have gone through, so check the transaction before you try again.

Corso charges a fee on swaps. You see it on the review screen before you approve. The Terms have the rate.

4. A dollar token slips below $1

USDC, USDT and PYUSD are issued by Circle, Tether and Paxos. Each is worth $1 only as long as people trust the issuer to pay $1 for it. If that trust breaks, it can trade below $1.

All three issuers can freeze their tokens at an address. Paxos can also move PYUSD out of an address.

Corso's total counts USDC at exactly $1. If USDC ever trades below $1, your total in Corso will read higher than what you could sell it for.

5. Bridged coins and their issuers

Some coins on Corso's list are stand-ins for coins that live on other networks:

cbBTC is Coinbase Wrapped BTC on Solana, not native Bitcoin.
ETH here is Ether bridged to Solana by Wormhole Portal, not native Ether.
ZEC here is Zcash bridged to Solana by Omni Bridge, not native Zcash.

Each one is worth the real coin only while its issuer or bridge keeps backing it. If the issuer fails, the bridge is hacked, or redemptions stop, the stand-in can lose some or all of its value, even when Bitcoin, Ether or Zcash itself is fine. Coinbase can also freeze cbBTC.

6. Losing your sign-in

If you sign in with email, Google or Apple, you reach your wallet through that account. If someone else gets into it, they can get into Corso. If you lose it for good, Corso can't restore your wallet. Recover the account with its provider.

Deleting your Corso account deletes a wallet made by signing in. Money left behind stays on Solana, but you may never reach it again. Move your money first.

7. Phishing and scams

Corso will never ask for your recovery phrase, private key or password. Anyone who does is trying to steal from you, even if they use Corso's name.

Support is by email only, at support@corso.trade. Corso has no Discord or Telegram. The website is corso.trade.

Solana transactions are final. Once a transaction confirms, nobody can reverse it: not Corso, not the network. Check the address and the amount before you approve. Malware can change an address you copied.

8. Solana slows down or stops

The Solana network has slowed down and stopped before, and it can again. While it is down you may not be able to sell, and prices can move in the meantime. When Corso can't confirm the network, it doesn't send your swap: nothing moves, and your money stays where it was. Corso can also switch a feature off during an incident, and the app says so when it does.

9. Where you are

Buying and swapping are not available in New York, where you can still see and send what you hold. Buying is also not available when Corso can't confirm where you are. Selling in Corso is a swap, so in New York you can't sell in Corso, and prices can move in the meantime. If Corso has no location for you at all, you can't swap either. You can still send what you hold to another wallet.

10. The companies Corso relies on

Corso is built on services run by other companies:

Company	What it does for Corso	If it fails
Jupiter	Prices, quotes and routes for every swap	You can't swap until it's back, or a quote can be wrong. The review screen still shows the least you will receive.
Privy	Sign-in, and securing the keys to a wallet made by signing in	You may not be able to sign in or approve a swap. A failure or breach at Privy could lock you out of a wallet it secures, or put the money in it at risk.
MoonPay	Add cash: the card or bank payment, and identity checks	MoonPay decides whether to accept a purchase, and only MoonPay can refund one. A purchase can be declined or delayed. Corso never receives your card or bank details and can't change or refund a payment. MoonPay sets its own rates and fees.
RugCheck and other data providers	Ratings and market data for the risk read	If none answer, it says "Risk unavailable" and you can't buy that coin until they're back.
Solana RPC providers	Corso's connection to the Solana network	Balances can go stale, and swaps aren't sent.

Corso doesn't run these services and can't promise they stay up.
