Disclaimer of Financial Advice and Fiduciary Duty

Why it matters

This means MetaMask bears no legal responsibility if you make financial decisions based on information or features in the app, including staking yields, RWA token trading, or prediction market displays.

Consumer impact

MetaMask users bear full personal responsibility for the security of their Secret Recovery Phrase and private keys, with no recovery mechanism available from Consensys if credentials are lost. The $100 total liability cap means users have virtually no financial recourse against Consensys even in cases involving platform errors, security failures, or service outages affecting high-value crypto holdings. You can opt out of the mandatory arbitration clause by sending written notice to Consensys within 30 days of first accepting the Terms, as specified in the dispute resolution section.

Applicable agencies

  • SEC
    The SEC has jurisdiction over investment advice and securities offerings, and MetaMask's staking, RWA, and trading features may implicate the Investment Advisers Act and securities registration requirements.

  • FTC
    The FTC can assess whether the disclaimer of financial advice responsibility, when combined with actively promoted investment-like features, constitutes a deceptive practice under FTC Act Section 5.
