What are my financial risks of buying a digital asset?

$YAFA is primarily a humanitarian and community driven token.

Like any crypto asset, it carries financial risks, including price volatility. Always do your own research before making a purchase. Please refer to our disclaimer on the website.

Is a token different to a cryptocurrency coin?

Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin or Solana, run on their own blockchain networks. Tokens, like $YAFA, are issued on existing blockchains (e.g., Solana) and inherit their security and functionality. This allows $YAFA to be seamlessly transacted within the Solana ecosystem while maintaining its unique economic purpose.

How is my privacy and data protected?

Blockchain and cryptography by nature are anonymous yet transparent at the same time. If you setup a digital wallet to store your tokens on (such as the Phantom wallet we recommend) then your wallet address is a long alphanumeric address and not your name/identity.

This means that anyone can search for your wallet address on the Solana blockchain and see how many tokens are in that wallet, however there is no name attached to your wallet meaning your identity remains private and secure.

Is $YAFA regulated in any jurisdiction?

$YAFA operates on a decentralized network, meaning it is not controlled by any government, institution, or centralized entity. While blockchain technology offers financial autonomy, the legal status of digital assets varies by country, and users should be aware of regulations in their own jurisdictions.

Will you build your own proprietary blockchain in the future?

$YAFA leverages Solana for its security and high-speed transactions. As the ecosystem grows, options for scalability and interoperability will be explored.
