Platform Risk

Platform risk refers to the possibility that GigaStar's operational platform could experience challenges that negatively affect Channel Revenue Token (CRT) holders. This is one of several risk factors that Investors should consider during their due diligence process before investing in CRTs.

Platform risk encompasses several potential scenarios. Operational risks include the possibility of technology failures, cybersecurity incidents, or disruptions to the systems that process Monthly distributions, manage Investor accounts, or facilitate secondary trading. While GigaStar implements safeguards to mitigate these risks, no system is entirely immune to operational disruptions.

Financial risks relate to the possibility that GigaStar as a business could face financial difficulties that impact its ability to maintain and operate the platform. If GigaStar were unable to continue operations, the administration of CRT distributions and secondary market trading could be affected.

Regulatory risks involve potential changes to securities laws, crowdfunding regulations, or enforcement actions that could alter the framework under which CRTs are offered, traded, or administered. The regulatory environment for Creator Economy securities is still evolving, and future changes could impact how CRTs function.

Additionally, there is YouTube platform dependency risk. Since CRT distributions are derived from YouTube revenue, changes to YouTube's policies, monetization rules, advertising algorithms, or revenue-sharing arrangements with Creators could affect all CRT offerings simultaneously.

Platform risk is distinct from Creator risk, which relates to the performance of individual Creator channels. Platform risk affects all CRT holders collectively and cannot be mitigated through diversification across different Creator offerings alone.

These risks are disclosed in each offering's Form C filing and should be carefully reviewed by all prospective Investors.
