# Risk Levels

**Earn Rewards at any Level!** 

The ATRON ecosystem has two risk levels when it comes to potential token appreciation/depreciation and potential rewards, but **both levels could earn the holder rewards from the activity of the market**.

* **Higher Risk / Higher Reward Potential - ATRON**
  * ATRON is considered a low market cap token, where high volatility is present. Low market cap tokens are where users have see their holdings go up 10x, 100x or even 1000x in a very short period of time, but is also where they can see the biggest loses, including total loss in some scenarios.
* **Lower Risk / Lower Reward Potential - AUSD**
  * AUSD is a stable token, meaning that the price will always be pegged to one dollar ($1.00),  giving users peace of mind that their holdings will keep the same value over time. Stable assets are used to facilitate cross-border remittances, allowing people to send and receive money with lower fees and faster settlement times. They are also used to avoid price movement of your holdings.
