# General

#### **What are the risks?** 

Pickle Finance's smart contracts have been [audited.](/appendix-c-previous-docs/old-docs/security.md) There is also a chance that the price of PICKLE goes to 0. Only invest what you can afford to lose and do your own due diligence.

#### Can't I do the Pickle Jar functions myself?

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 \
<https://github.com/pickle-finance/contracts>&#x20;

#### **What are PICKLE's tokenomics?**

There is no hard cap on the supply of PICKLEs. The emission schedule can be found [here](/appendix-c-previous-docs/old-docs/emissions.md).

**How does Pickle Finance do governance**?

The Pickle Finance community and PICKLE/ETH liquidity providers (see [Farms](/appendix-c-previous-docs/old-docs/farms.md)) wield the power to shape the future of the protocol.&#x20;

* <https://snapshot.page/#/pickle> is used to vote for Pickle Improvement Proposals (PIPs). Quadratic voting is used to ensure a more democratic form of governance. This will soon be replaced by [DILLS.](broken://pages/-MSImLo1FWMgEs25YlV0#understanding-dill)&#x20;
* <https://forum.pickle.finance/> is a Discourse forum for having focused discussions on ways to make Pickle Finance even better.
