# Governance Staking Risk

<mark style="color:purple;">**Governance Staking**</mark> risks are as follow:

* Smart contract issues with Axiom Finance: While audits and bug bounties can significantly mitigate risk, there will always remain an inherent risk with all smart contracts in DeFi.
* "Rewards per day" is an estimate, and the actual rewards received may differ when block times are longer than normal.
