  • Not engage in any activity that could harm, disrupt, or compromise the security of the Platform, including attempts to hack, exploit vulnerabilities, or manipulate smart contracts.

  • Not attempt to create multiple accounts, impersonate another person or entity, or misrepresent your identity or affiliation.

5. Risk Acknowledgment: By using Illiquids, you acknowledge that participating in decentralized finance (DeFi) carries significant risks, including, but not limited to:

  • Market risk, including loss of value in LP tokens or the Illiquids native token (QUIDS).

  • Smart contract risks, including the possibility of vulnerabilities or failures in the underlying blockchain technology.

  • Liquidity risks associated with the inability to sell or trade locked assets at desired times or prices.

Illiquids is not responsible for any losses incurred due to market fluctuations, smart contract failures, or other risks inherent to the use of DeFi protocols and digital assets.

6. Payment and Fees:

  • Illiquids charges a 5% transaction fee on all trades conducted on the platform, deducted from the seller’s proceeds. By using the platform, you agree to this fee structure.

  • Payments can be made using QUIDS (the platform’s native token) or ETH. Sellers can select their preferred payment method when creating listings.

  • Illiquids reserves the right to modify the fee structure at any time, subject to governance decisions by QUIDS holders.

7. Token Use and Staking:

  • The QUIDS token is used as a medium of exchange, governance tool, and reward mechanism within the Illiquids ecosystem.

  • By holding and staking QUIDS, you may participate in governance decisions, earn staking rewards, and access premium features. Staking is subject to terms set by Illiquids, and participation is at your own risk.

8. Decentralized Governance:

  • Illiquids employs a decentralized governance model, where QUIDS holders can vote on platform proposals and participate in decision-making.

  • Proposals and voting mechanisms are conducted on-chain through Ethereum smart contracts.

  • Illiquids is not responsible for the outcomes of governance decisions, and all users participate in governance at their own discretion.

9. Platform Modifications: Illiquids reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any part of the Platform, including features, functionalities, and services, without prior notice. We may also update these Terms from time to time. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically. Continued use of the Platform after any changes indicates acceptance of the updated Terms.
