#### **What are the risks?**&#x20;

Yes you could, but the pJars help you automatically re-invest your rewards to increase your principal, save on gas and optimize for the highest yielding strategies.

**Where are the Smart Contracts?**

All of the deployed smart contracts used by Pickle Finance are available at \
