# Technical Risks

* **Security**: While blockchain technology is generally secure, there are potential risks of hacking, security breaches, or unintended flaws in the code governing Sentinel, which could result in the loss or theft of tokens.
* **Smart Contract Vulnerabilities**: Flaws or vulnerabilities in smart contracts or related protocols, whether undiscovered or newly emerged, could be exploited and may lead to loss or theft of Sentinel.
* **Operational Interruptions**: Interruptions in the operation of the blockchain or gaming platform, due to technical failures, malicious attacks, or other disruptions, could impact the functionality and utility of Sentinel.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://arcane-studios.gitbook.io/sentinel-whitepaper-v1.0/risk-factors/technical-risks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
