# Third Party Risk 

<figure><img src="/files/jVEilzW6yeJmaDNyXKKr" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Some components of Chi Protocol rely on third-party protocols like **Lido, Uniswap, Etherfi, Curve, and Everclear**, which introduces third-party risk. As with any DeFi protocol, their smart contracts could be vulnerable to potential exploits. A hack or failure in any of these underlying protocols could result in a loss of funds for Chi Protocol.

To mitigate this risk, Chi Protocol follows a rigorous due diligence process before whitelisting partner protocols. To date, none of our integrated protocols have experienced any hacks, reflecting the effectiveness of our careful selection process.
