2. Services
- AtomOne Governance dApp
AtomOne dApp is a decentralized governance platform allowing users to participate in the governance processes of decentralized autonomous organizations (“DAOs”) within the AtomOne Hub and Cosmos ecosystem. The dApp provides access to the decentralized network and enables users to submit proposals, vote on governance matters, and perform other governance-related actions. Participation in AtomOne requires interaction with compatible wallet and blockchain transactions, including staking and voting. All transactions performed through the AtomOne dApp are irreversible and publicly recorded on the blockchain. For more information see the AtomOne Governance dApp Terms.
- AtomOne Staking
AtomOne Staking provides Users with a non-custodial Interface for staking ATONE tokens on the AtomOne blockchain. Staking refers to the User’s act of staking ATONE through the Interface, interacting with the Protocol (the underlying system comprising the AtomOne user logic, staking mechanics, and any associated smart contract or infrastructure that support the User’s staking activities), or utilizing the features provided by the AtomOne Staking Platform for staking purposes. By staking, Users participate in securing the AtomOne network, participate in governance and may receive rewards in return. This process requires users to connect a compatible wallet and interact with the blockchain, as transactions and staking operations are irreversible and publicly recorded on the blockchain. We do not operate validator nodes, provide staking or node management services, or have access to users’ private keys or funds. Staking interactions occur directly between users and validators, facilitated by smart contracts on the AtomOne blockchain. Staking rewards are determined by network protocols and are not guaranteed. Any changes to the staking mechanism or reward structure are determined by AtomOne’s governance and are beyond the control of the operator. By using the Interface, you authorize validators to perform validation tasks associated with your staked Digital Assets. Depending on the protocol, these tasks may include block validation, consensus, and potentially governance activities. Staking is not available, and Rewards are not available to be accrued or redeemed or exchanged in any jurisdiction where it would contravene applicable law, or would require AtomOne to comply with any regulatory requirements in that jurisdiction, specific to activities same as or similar to Staking and dealing in cryptocurrencies. For more information see the AtomOne Staking Terms.
- Wallets and Security:
To use the AtomOne Interface, you must connect a compatible third-party wallet (e.g., Keplr, Leap, Cosmostation). Your use of a non-custodial wallet provider is governed by the applicable terms of service of that third party and are not governed by these Terms. The Interface does not store private keys or have access to your funds. You are solely responsible for safeguarding your wallet credentials, including private keys and seed phrases, which are essential for accessing your wallet and digital assets.
The operator will never request your private keys, seed phrases, or recovery phrases. Any such request should be considered fraudulent and reported immediately. Failing to safeguard this information may result in the permanent loss of access to your wallet and digital assets.
For enhanced security, users have the option to generate command-line interface (CLI) commands for executing transactions in an offline, air-gapped environment. This method allows users to create and sign transactions on a device that is not connected to the internet, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access, hacking, or malware attacks. Once the transaction is signed offline, it can be securely transmitted to the network using an internet-connected device. This adds an extra layer of protection when performing sensitive actions such as transferring funds or managing governance operations.
It is crucial that users strictly follow best practices for secure transaction processing, including keeping private keys secure and ensuring that the air-gapped environment is free from vulnerabilities. Failure to adhere to these best practices could lead to compromised security, resulting in the loss of assets or unauthorized actions being taken on the user’s behalf.
- Fees:
Using the Interface may also require that you pay a fee, such as gas charges on the blockchain, to perform a transaction. You acknowledge and agree that the operator has no control over any such third-party transactions, the method of payment of such transactions, or any actual payments of transactions. All fees are non-refundable, so you must ensure that you have a sufficient balance of the applicable cryptocurrency tokens stored at your protocol-compatible wallet address to complete any transaction on the blockchain or Interface before initiating such a transaction. You bear all the risk of loss for transactions on the Interface.
- Changes to the Interface
The Interface is continually evolving, with ongoing developments that include advanced governance features such as proposal creation, voting insights, and individual user voting histories. As these features are released and integrated, the operator reserves the right to update or modify the functionality of the Interface. These updates may also lead to adjustments in the terms governing the use of the Interface.
For features that involve open-source contributions, those contributions will be governed by separate open-source licenses, as appropriate. The operator is not responsible for third-party contributions, though it may integrate or collaborate with them to enhance the functionality of the Interface. You agree that it is your responsibility to stay informed about any updates to these Terms or features by periodically reviewing them on the Interface.
3. Your Permission to Use the Interface

7. Your Information
By using the Interface, you agree to the following responsibilities regarding the information you provide:
- Accuracy and Completeness: You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information about yourself when prompted by any registration, subscription forms, or otherwise requested by the operator. This includes, but is not limited to, personal identification details, wallet addresses, and any information required for compliance with applicable laws or regulations.
- Security of Credentials: You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials, including passwords, private keys, and any other forms of identification. The operator will never ask you to reveal your private keys, and you should take all necessary precautions to secure this information. Any unauthorized access or use of your account is solely your responsibility.
- Keeping Information Updated: You agree to maintain and promptly update any information you have provided to ensure that it remains accurate, current, and complete at all times. This includes updating contact information, account details, and any other pertinent information as your circumstances change.
- Notification of Material Changes: You agree to promptly notify the operator of any material changes that may affect your eligibility to use the Interface, including, but not limited to, changes in your residency, legal status, or ability to comply with any jurisdictional requirements or restrictions. Failure to notify the operator of such changes may result in suspension or termination of access to the Interface.
- Responsibility for Account Use: You are fully responsible for all actions taken under your account, whether authorized or unauthorized. This includes any activities initiated through the Interface, such as proposals, votes, and other governance-related interactions. You acknowledge that failure to secure your account or disclose sensitive information (e.g., private keys, passwords) could result in unauthorized access and loss of assets. You will not hold the operator liable for any unauthorized actions resulting from your failure to secure your account credentials.
8. Know Your Customer
You acknowledge that the operator and its partners may perform Know Your Customer (“KYC”) procedures on the information you provide, as required by internal policies and as required by applicable guidelines or regulations. You consent to such KYC procedures.
You agree that this is a general requirement and in compliance with regulatory rules and guidance, and in no way creates or is deemed to be any form of recommendation or advice by the operator.
The operator may in its sole and absolute discretion decline to accept any person’s request in anything, at any time, with no requirement for any reason or explanation; you agree that such decline(s), if any, shall not constitute an opinion, recommendation or investment, legal or tax advice by the operator.
9. Background Checks
While the Interface emphasizes decentralized governance and privacy, certain roles within the ecosystem, such as validators or other key participants, may be subject to background checks in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, or internal policies. These background checks are conducted to ensure compliance with legal standards and to maintain the integrity of the network.
- Consent to Background Checks: You acknowledge and consent that the operator and/or its partners may perform background checks on users when required by law or regulation, particularly for those participants holding sensitive roles within the network. These checks are intended to confirm that a user’s identity does not appear on any criminal, terrorist, or sanctions watchlists, and that they are not associated with any foreign governments under sanctions or scrutiny.
- Data Sources and Reliability: The background check process relies on information obtained from a variety of regulatory, private, and public databases. While these sources are considered reliable, the operator cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information.
- Sharing of Background Check Information: Information gathered during background checks may be shared with the operator’s partners or relevant regulatory bodies, as necessary, to comply with legal or regulatory requirements.
- Legal Obligations and Reporting: The operator and its partners may have legal obligations under applicable laws, such as the USA PATRIOT Act or anti-money laundering regulations, to report suspicious activity. These obligations may require the operator to deny access to certain users based on background check results, including but not limited to individuals identified as high-risk or flagged under any relevant legal frameworks.
- Right to Deny Access: The operator reserves the right to deny access to any products, services, or features offered through the Interface based on the results of background checks. This may occur even if the information obtained is not fully accurate, complete, or truthful, in line with regulatory obligations and the operator’s risk management policies.
10. Your Content
By submitting content to the Interface, you represent and warrant that you hold all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to provide such content and that doing so does not infringe the intellectual property or other rights of any third party. You remain the sole owner of your content; however, by submitting content, you grant the operator and its affiliates a perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, distribute, reproduce, and publicly display your content on the Interface, as well as for related purposes including promotion, analytics, and archives. This license will continue even after you remove your content from the Interface, to the extent necessary for compliance with legal obligations or for maintaining necessary backups and archives.
You acknowledge and agree that the operator is not responsible for the misuse of your content by other users or third parties. Any interactions with your content by other users, including sharing or modifying it, are their responsibility under the terms of use, and the operator disclaims all liability related to such misuse.
- Operator’s Rights to Review or Modify Content: The operator is not obligated to actively review, monitor, or edit any user-submitted content. However, we reserve the right to take down, obscure, or modify any content at our discretion, particularly if it violates these terms, infringes intellectual property rights, or is otherwise harmful or unlawful.
- No Transfer of Ownership: Submitting content to the Interface does not transfer ownership rights over that content to the operator. Similarly, the operator’s intellectual property rights remain with the operator, and you do not obtain any ownership rights to the operator’s content, designs, code, trademarks, or other intellectual property, unless explicitly granted in a separate agreement.
- Your Responsibility for Content: You are solely responsible for the content you submit. You must ensure that your content is lawful and does not imply any false association, endorsement, or sponsorship by the operator. The operator is under no obligation to store, maintain, or provide copies of any content you submit to the Interface.
- License to Use Your Content: While you retain ownership of your content, you grant the operator a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable license to make your content available to other users of the Interface. This license permits the operator to copy, publish, analyze, and distribute your content as needed without further notification or compensation.
- Removal of Content: If your content is removed from the Interface, either by you or by the operator, the operator’s license to that content will expire once the last copy is deleted from backups, caches, and other systems. However, any sublicenses you grant to other users or third parties, or that the operator grants to its partners, may continue beyond the removal of your content.
- Misuse of Content by Others: You acknowledge that other users or third parties may misuse the content you submit, potentially violating the terms on which you licensed it. The operator cannot and will not be held responsible for these violations or any resulting damages or consequences.
- Infringement of Intellectual Property: The operator reserves the right to terminate, in its sole discretion, the accounts of any users who repeatedly infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others, whether related to content submitted to the Interface or other activities.
11. Our Content
Unless otherwise specified, the operator and/or its licensors own all intellectual property rights associated with the content made available on the Interface. This includes, but is not limited to, all product and service names, graphics, button icons, trademarks, service marks, logos, and any other materials presented on the Interface. Some images, videos, or other content displayed may be the property of third parties, in which case the operator uses them with proper authorization or under fair use principles. All intellectual property rights are reserved.
You may access and view content available on the Interface solely for your personal use, provided you adhere to the restrictions outlined in these terms.
You may not:
• Republish, sell, rent, sub-license, reproduce, duplicate, or copy content from the Interface, unless it is your own content, or content you are otherwise licensed or authorized to use.
• Redistribute content from the Interface unless the content has been specifically designated as available for redistribution.
• Use any content from the Interface in any commercial context without express written permission from the operator or the applicable rights holder.
No Implied Licenses:Nothing in these terms should be construed as granting you a license or right to use any of the operator’s intellectual property, except as expressly stated in this agreement. Unauthorized use of the operator’s intellectual property may result in legal consequences.
Open-Source Contributions: For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions in this section do not apply to any content or software that has been explicitly contributed by the operator to the open-source community under an open-source license. Any content or software released under such a license is governed by the specific terms of that open-source license, which may permit broader use, distribution, and modification than otherwise allowed under these terms.
12. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Compliance
If you are a copyright holder and believe that content on the Interface infringes upon a copyright that you own or control, you may submit a formal DMCA notification to our designated agent. The operator will respond promptly to valid DMCA claims and, if necessary, remove or disable access to the infringing content.
To submit a DMCA notification, your written communication must include the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
- Identification of the infringing material or the material that is the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the operator to locate the material (e.g., URL or description of the specific location within the Interface).
- Contact information for the complaining party, such as a mailing address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address.
- A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Please direct all DMCA notifications to the operator’s designated agent:

Las Vegas, NV 89146
Phone: 661-388-6953
Email: [email protected]
Counter-Notification Process
If your content is removed or disabled based on a DMCA notification, you have the right to submit a counter-notification if you believe the removal or disabling was the result of an error or misidentification of the material.
To submit a counter-notification, your written communication must include the following:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled, and the location where the material appeared before it was removed or disabled (e.g., URL or description of the specific location within the Interface).
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your contact information, including a mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in the district where your address is located (or the federal court in Las Vegas, NV, if your address is outside of the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the party that filed the original DMCA notification or an agent of that party.
Once a valid counter-notification is received, the operator may restore the removed material, unless the original complainant files a court action seeking to restrain you from engaging in the allegedly infringing activity.
13. Your Responsibility and Security
You agree to reimburse the operator for all costs, damages, and legal claims arising from your breach of these terms or the misuse of the Interface by others using your account. Both parties agree to promptly notify each other of any legal claims related to this agreement. Failure by the operator to notify you promptly does not absolve you of your responsibility, except where prompt notice could have mitigated the issue. You agree to allow the operator to assume the investigation, defense, and settlement of any legal claims at its discretion. The operator agrees not to enter any settlement that places you at fault or imposes obligations on you without your consent.
14. Disclaimers
-
You acknowledge and accept all risks associated with the use of the Interface and its content. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the operator provides the Interface on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without any warranties of any kind, including, without limitation, implied or statutory warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, security, accuracy, reliability, availability, quiet enjoyment, or non-infringement of third-party rights.
-
You accept the inherent risks involved in using the Interface, including but not limited to risks associated with your financial, cryptocurrency, or other digital asset holdings and transfers. The operator is not liable for any losses, damages, or harm resulting from your use of the Interface, including those related to the disclosure of your private wallet keys—even if caused by a bug or error in the Interface.
-
We make no warranties regarding compatibility with your mobile device, carrier, or third-party software/hardware. Your use of the Interface may be subject to third-party terms (e.g., agreements with your mobile device manufacturer), and the operator disclaims responsibility for these terms.
-
Access to your cryptocurrency tokens or assets may be interrupted, delayed, or terminated at any time, potentially affecting the value or execution of transactions. The operator assumes no liability for such disruptions. You bear full responsibility for ensuring the security of your private keys, seed phrases, and other sensitive wallet information. Loss of this information may result in permanent loss of access to your cryptocurrency assets, and the operator is not responsible for such losses.
-
The Services may rely on third-party platforms to perform transactions with respect to any Digital Assets. If we are unable to maintain a good relationship with such platform providers; if the terms and conditions or pricing of such platform providers change; if we violate or cannot comply with the terms and conditions of such platforms; or if any of such platforms loses market share or falls out of favor or is unavailable for a prolonged period of time, access to and use of the Services will suffer. The Interface does not include any outside websites or platforms linked to it. Such external platforms have their own terms of service, which govern transactions on those platforms. We disclaim any liability for transactions conducted outside the Interface.
-
By using the Interface, you acknowledge the risks associated with cryptocurrency transactions, including hardware or software failure, internet connectivity issues, and network failures. The Interface may be suspended or terminated at the operator’s discretion, which could affect your access to your cryptocurrency assets.
-
Links to Third-Party Services: Due to the decentralized nature of the Interface, we do not monitor or control all interactions. By using this Interface, you acknowledge that we are not responsible for any third-party actions or transactions that occur outside of our direct control. The Interface may contain links to external websites or services operated by third parties. The operator makes no representations or warranties about these external services, and your use of them may be governed by separate terms. The operator assumes no liability for content, services, or transactions conducted via third-party platforms. Certain services may only be available in specific jurisdictions, and nothing herein grants you access to services in jurisdictions where they are prohibited.
-
Cryptographic Systems: By accessing and using the Services, you represent that you understand the inherent risks associated with using cryptographic and blockchain-based systems, and that you have a working knowledge of Digital Assets. You acknowledge the inherent risks of cryptographic systems, including the possibility of hacking or rapid technological changes that may impact the security or value of digital assets. Such systems may have vulnerabilities or other failures, or experience other abnormal behavior. The operator is not responsible for any issues with the blockchains, including forks, technical node issues, or any other issues that may result in fund losses.
