These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of HudPad, meaning the website at hudpad.com, the software interface it provides to interact with the HudPad smart contracts on the supported networks (HyperEVM, ETH, Robinhood, BNB, Arc and Stable), and HudPad's launch bot on X whenever it runs (together, the "Interface"). By accessing or using the Interface, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Interface.

The Interface is a tool for interacting with public, permissionless blockchain software. It is offered by the HudPad contributors ("HudPad", "we", "us"). We are not your broker, exchange, custodian, financial institution, or fiduciary.

HudPad is a non-custodial, decentralized interface. It helps you construct transactions that you sign and broadcast yourself, using your own self-custodied wallet.

• We never take custody of your funds, tokens, or private keys, and we never move assets on your behalf, with the one exception of the launch bot described below.
• The contracts that hold coins, pools, and fees cannot be upgraded, paused, frozen, or reversed by anyone, HudPad included. HudPad holds two settings on each network: the pair book (which assets a NEW coin can be priced in; a listed pair's fee split never changes, and a pair can be closed to new launches, never to trading) and the launch fee (under a ceiling written into the contract). Neither can touch an existing coin, pool, or balance.
• A coin launched today opens directly into a pool on the network's own decentralized exchange (Project X on HyperEVM, PancakeSwap on BNB, Uniswap on ETH, Robinhood, Arc and Stable), and its whole supply is placed in that pool as one position held by a locker contract that nobody can withdraw it from. A first buy is optional. On HyperEVM a launch is requested first and opened by a later transaction our server submits; if it is not opened within ten minutes, anyone can return the deposit to its creator, and we do not guarantee that a requested launch is opened. Coins launched on earlier HudPad contracts, including bonding-curve launches, keep trading under the contracts they were born with. Trading, pricing, and settlement happen on-chain, independent of the Interface.
• Omni coins. An Omni coin is one coin at the same address on several networks its creator picks. Its supply is divided between those networks, and each network opens its own pool with its own price. The opening on the other networks, and every move of the coin between networks, travels as a message over LayerZero, a third-party messaging protocol: a move burns the coins on one network and mints them on the other when the message arrives. Delivery depends on LayerZero and its verifiers, not on HudPad, and can be delayed.
• Some permissionless transactions are sent by our own server: opening a requested launch on HyperEVM, opening an Omni coin's slice on HyperEVM, moving the platform's share of fees to its treasury, buying and burning HUD, and the launch bot's launches. They can do only what the contracts let anyone do.
• The launch bot. When it runs, a launch command posted to HudPad's bot on X launches a coin from our server's key. If the author has linked a wallet to their X account on hudpad.com, the coin's creator share goes to that wallet. If not, the creator share stays with the bot's key and is handed to the first wallet the author links, together with every fee still in the pool; we do not collect it in the meantime. We do not guarantee that a command is read, answered, or launched.
• The Interface is one of many possible ways to reach the underlying contracts. If it is unavailable, the contracts remain accessible directly on-chain.
• HudPad is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Robinhood Markets, Inc., Binance, Circle, the Ethereum Foundation, the Hyper Foundation, Hyperliquid Labs, LayerZero Labs, Uniswap Labs, PancakeSwap, Project X, HyperSwap, Relay, Nest, Stable, Bitfinex, Tether, Everdawn Labs, Backed Finance or BounceTech. The Interface names the networks HyperEVM, ETH (Ethereum), Robinhood (Robinhood Chain), BNB (BNB Chain), Arc and Stable solely to identify the public networks the contracts are deployed on, and names assets such as HYPE, ETH, BNB, USDC and USDT0 solely to identify assets on those networks. USDT0 is issued and operated by Everdawn Labs under licence from Tether. The tokens that track a share, a commodity, or a currency are issued by third parties (for example Robinhood on Robinhood, and Backed Finance and Nest on HyperEVM). HudPad issues none of them, and none of them is a share.

To use the Interface you represent that you: (a) are at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction and have full legal capacity to accept these Terms; (b) are not located in, or a resident of, any jurisdiction where use of the Interface or of crypto-assets is prohibited; (c) are not subject to any sanctions and are not on any prohibited-parties list (including any list maintained by OFAC); and (d) will use the Interface in compliance with all laws that apply to you, including tax, securities, and anti-money-laundering laws.

You are solely responsible for determining whether your use of the Interface is lawful in your jurisdiction, and for determining, reporting, and paying any taxes that apply to your activity. HudPad does not withhold or report taxes on your behalf.

Nothing on HudPad, including token listings, market data, charts, market caps, names, and documentation, is financial, investment, legal, accounting, or tax advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold anything. HudPad does not offer, sell, underwrite, or solicit any token or security, and does not endorse any token launched through the Interface.

Tokens and .hud names are not deposits, shares, or regulated financial products offered by HudPad. You are responsible for your own research and decisions. Consult your own qualified advisors before transacting.

HudPad earns a platform fee on trades and launches and may itself hold or transact in HUD, HudPad's main token, so it may benefit economically from activity in some tokens. This is never an endorsement or recommendation of any token.

Crypto-assets are highly volatile and speculative. By using the Interface you knowingly accept all risks, including that you may lose the entire value of anything you buy, launch, or hold. In particular:

• Smart-contract risk. The contracts are provided "as is." They have been tested and reviewed, and the source of the current contracts is published on the networks' explorers, but they have not undergone a formal third-party audit. Software may contain bugs, errors, or vulnerabilities that could result in total loss.
• Third-party tokens. Anyone can launch a token permissionlessly. Tokens may be worthless, abandoned, misleading, or created to defraud. Locked launch liquidity reduces some risks but does not make any token safe.
• Market risk. Prices can go to zero. Liquidity may be thin. Trades are subject to slippage, front-running, and other on-chain dynamics beyond our control.
• Network risk. Blockchain congestion, reorgs, downtime, RPC or sequencer failures, and gas costs may cause failed, delayed, or unexpected transactions.
• Irreversibility. On-chain transactions are final. There are no chargebacks or reversals.
• HUD, the main token. HUD was born directly into a public liquidity pool on HyperEVM by an ownerless genesis contract: its whole supply was placed in that pool at launch, the position cannot be withdrawn by anyone, and a buyback-and-burn contract was created in the same transaction. There was no sale, no presale window, and no free allocation; anything HudPad holds it bought from that pool like anyone else.
• Launch guards. A creator may choose a launch guard of up to five minutes. In the launch block no wallet can receive the coin, and until the guard ends no wallet may hold more than 1% of the supply; sales are never stopped. Coins of earlier contracts carry the guard they were born with, shown on the coin's page. Like any on-chain limit, a guard may not stop every strategy.
• Holder rewards. A creator may pass part of the creator's fees to the coin's holders, and can later only raise that part. Rewards stream to wallets that hold the coin over six hours and are claimed by each holder; the amount depends on trading and on how much you hold, and it can be zero.
• Omni coins. An Omni coin trades in a separate pool on each of its networks, so its price can differ between them. A network can open later than the others, and a move between networks waits for its LayerZero message; until it arrives, the moved coins are on neither network. HudPad cannot speed up, cancel, or reverse a message.
• Coins of earlier contracts. A coin launched on earlier HudPad contracts keeps the rules it was born with. A bonding-curve coin's raise sits in its curve until graduation turns it into pool liquidity; it is never refundable and never withdrawable by anyone, HudPad included, and graduation is permissionless, its timing depending on the network.
• Coins paired with another asset. A coin may be priced against a tokenized stock, a commodity token, a dollar token, or (on HyperEVM) a leveraged token, each issued by a third party. Its value then depends on that issuer too, including any pause, redemption, or transfer restriction they impose, none of which HudPad controls; a leveraged token can lose most of its value quickly. Paying in the network's own coin for such a pair routes through third-party pools, so what you receive depends on their depth at that moment.
• Key management. If you lose access to your wallet or keys, no one, including HudPad, can recover your assets.

You are solely responsible for the security of your wallet, keys, and devices, and for every transaction you sign. You must review each transaction before signing it. You bear full responsibility for verifying token addresses, names, prices, and counterparties. We are not liable for any loss arising from your interactions, phishing, fraudulent tokens, malicious contracts, or third-party wallet software.

Token names, tickers, images, descriptions, links, and .hud names are user-generated. HudPad does not create, vet, endorse, or guarantee any of it, and does not verify the identity or claims of any creator. Listings and market data are provided for convenience and may be inaccurate, delayed, or incomplete.

If you launch a token or register a name, you alone are responsible for it and for complying with every law that applies to it, including securities, intellectual-property, consumer-protection, and tax laws. HudPad neither reviews nor approves what you launch, and does not act as an issuer, underwriter, or seller of it.

The Interface may link to or display third-party services (for example block explorers, charting providers, or RPC endpoints). We do not control and are not responsible for those services.

The forum and other posts. Threads, replies, community chat and profile fields are written by users, not by HudPad. Posting requires holding a .hud name and is signed by your wallet rather than sent as a transaction; the signature binds the exact text, and the post is public the moment it is stored. You are responsible for what you post. Anyone can report a post, authors can delete their own, and we may remove a post or restrict posting where content breaks these Terms. Links inside posts are limited to x.com, and a link that survives that limit is still not an endorsement of anything behind it.

Fees are enforced by the contracts and are visible on-chain. The terms below apply to coins launched on the current contracts; a coin launched on earlier HudPad contracts keeps the fees it was born with, shown on its page.

• Trading. Every trade pays its pool's 1% fee, which accrues to the coin's locked pool position. When anyone collects it, the pair-asset side is split by the numbers the network's pair book fixed for that pair when the coin launched: on HyperEVM, 20% to the platform treasury, 20% set aside for buying back and burning HUD and 60% to the coin's creator for HYPE and the other HyperEVM pairs, and 30% to the platform treasury and 70% to the creator for HyperCore spot and perpetual pairs; on every other network, 30% to the platform treasury and 70% to the creator. The coin's own side of the collected fees is sent to a burn address. Shares are recorded in an on-chain fee escrow and claimed by their owner rather than pushed to a wallet.
• Holder rewards. A creator may pass part of the creator's share to the coin's holders; that part is paid through an on-chain vault, streamed over six hours, and claimed by each holder in the coin's pair asset.
• Launching. A launch pays a small fee in the network's own coin for each network it opens on (shown before you sign; a ceiling is written into the contract), to the platform treasury, plus network gas. An Omni launch also pays LayerZero's messaging fee for each other network it opens, quoted by the contract before you sign and paid to LayerZero, not to HudPad; the Interface sends a little more than the quote, and the part not used comes back. An optional first buy is your own spend and pays the pool's fee like any other buy.
• HUD. The fees of HUD's own pool are split 20% to the platform treasury, 20% to a buyback-and-burn contract that buys HUD and burns it, and 60% to HUD's fee recipient, which is the platform treasury; the HUD side of those fees is burned in the same transaction.
• .hud names. Registration and renewal are priced per year by name length in a fixed dollar amount, paid in the chain's native currency at the rate the contract reads at that moment, to the platform treasury. Secondary-market sales and accepted offers carry a 2.5% market fee, enforced by the market contract.
• Cross-chain buys and the bridge. These use Relay, a third-party service; its quote shows its own fees, and HudPad adds none.

You also pay network gas fees on every transaction. Fees may change for future deployments; already-deployed contracts keep their terms.

You agree not to use the Interface to: break any law or regulation; launder money or finance illicit activity; evade sanctions; manipulate markets or defraud others; infringe intellectual-property or privacy rights; impersonate any person or project; upload unlawful, hateful, or harmful content; interfere with, attack, or overload the Interface or its infrastructure; or misrepresent a token or name. We may, without liability, restrict access from the Interface (but not from the on-chain contracts, which we do not control) in response to abuse or legal requirements.

The HudPad name, logo, wordmark, site design, and original content are owned by HudPad and its licensors. These Terms grant you no right to use HudPad's brand without permission. Content you submit (such as token metadata) remains yours; by submitting it you grant HudPad a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute it through the Interface, and you represent that you have the rights to submit it.

THE INTERFACE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Interface will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that data, prices, or quotes are accurate. You use the Interface at your own risk.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HUDPAD AND ITS CONTRIBUTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, TOKENS, ASSETS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE INTERFACE, ANY TOKEN OR NAME, OR ANY SMART CONTRACT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. TO THE EXTENT LIABILITY CANNOT BE FULLY EXCLUDED, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE FEES YOU PAID TO THE PLATFORM TREASURY IN THE 30 DAYS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR USD 100.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless HudPad and its contributors from any claim, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Interface, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any law or third-party right, or any token or content you launch or submit.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Interface at any time, without notice or liability, and we may update these Terms. The "last updated" date below reflects the latest version; material changes take effect when posted, and continuing to use the Interface after that means you accept them. If you do not agree, stop using the Interface. The contracts that hold coins, pools, and fees are unaffected by any of this and remain accessible on-chain.

These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws applicable at the operator's principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. To the extent permitted by law, disputes are resolved on an individual basis and you waive any right to participate in a class or representative action. Nothing here limits consumer rights that cannot be waived under the law that applies to you.
