THE BLOCKCHAIN AND STAKING POOLS

This includes, but is not limited to, your public sending address, the public address of the pools, the amount staked or rewarded, and any other data a user has chosen to include in a given transaction. Information stored on a blockchain may be public, immutable, and difficult or even impossible to remove or delete. Transactions and addresses may reveal information about the user’s identity and information can potentially be correlated now or in the future by any party who chooses to do so, including law enforcement. Users are encouraged to review how privacy and transparency on the blockchain works.

The “TOMO” means a digital currency, also referred to as the native token on the TomoChain blockchain, in which encryption techniques are used to regulate the generation of units of the currency and to verify the transfer of the currency and which operates independently of the central bank of a country.

By using our Services, you represent and warrant that you meet all eligibility requirements that we outline in these Terms. We may still refuse to let certain people access or use our Services, however, and we reserve the right to change our eligibility criteria at any time.

Locked duration after unstaking

Your TOMO must be locked for at least 2 days after unstaking. Once the locked duration elapses, your TOMO could be withdrawn to your wallet by yourself.

Transfer stake

“Transfer Stake” function is to transfer your staked amount to another wallet owner. You can use the function to sell your staking amount to someone or to move it to your another wallet.

Stake ownership

Stakers in here are receiving rewards in a decentralized way, no one, except you, is able to control your stake.

Resigning votes

The Company has no control over when a pool shall be resigned. Stakers shall use their staked TOMO amount to vote for whether the pool shall resign or not. If over 66% of the total staked TOMO is voted for resigning, the pool shall be resigned by any one.

Stake partition

The total staked TOMO in a pool must be divided into 2 parts:

  • Candidate Deposit: 50,000 TOMO
  • Candidate Vote: Any amount that exceeds 50,000 TOMO.

If a pool shall be resigned, the Candidate Deposit shall be locked for 30 days and the Candidate Vote shall be locked for 2 days. Two days after resigning, the amount of TOMO released to each staker is proportional to the total amount of TOMO the staker stakes in the pool.

RESTRICTIONS OF USING OUR SERVICES

Any use of our Services other than as specifically authorized in this Agreement, without our prior written permission, is strictly prohibited and will terminate your license to use our Services.

LIMITATION & DISCLAIMER

Wallet security responsibilities

A private key is connected to a TOMO wallet address and, together, they can be used to authorize the transfer of TOMO to and from that wallet address. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your private key and any mnemonic (backup) phrase associated with your wallet. You must keep your wallet address, mnemonic (backup) phrase, and private key access information secure. Failure to do so may result in the loss of control of TOMO.

The Company Cannot Assist With False Use of Transfer Stake

“Transfer Stake” function is transfer your staked TOMO amount to another wallet owner. You can use the function to sell your staking amount to someone or to move it to your another wallet. “Transfer Stake” does not mean transfer your TOMO staked from one pool to another pool. You may lose your TOMO and the Company cannot assist if you either transfer your staked TOMO to a wallet that you do not know, or transfer your staked TOMO from one pool to another pool.

The Company Cannot Assist With Password Retrieval.

Our Services may store your wallet address but does not receive or store your wallet password, encrypted private key, unencrypted private key, or mnemonic (backup) phrase associated with your wallet. We cannot, therefore, assist you with wallet password retrieval. We cannot retrieve your private key if you fail to remember your original password.

Pool Smart Contract Transactions.

In order to use the Services, your transactions must be confirmed and recorded in the TomoChain public blockchain. By using our Services, you acknowledge and agree that the transaction details you submit may not be completed, or may be substantially delayed, by the TomoChain Networks.

Once transaction details have been submitted via the Services, we cannot assist you to cancel or otherwise modify your smart contract transaction. You acknowledge and agree that we will not be liable for any failed transactions due to insufficient funds or gas associated with your account.

Withdrawal of Staked TOMO after unstake

Your staked TOMO must be locked in the TomoChain blockchain at least 48 hours after your unstaking transaction is made. This is the rule of the TomoChain network. We have no control over the TomoChain network to be able to withdraw your locked TOMO before 48 hours after unstaking.

Withdrawal of Staked TOMO after pool resigning

The ownership of all staking pools is decentralized that we have no control over withdrawing or locking it. This locked time is ruled by the TomoChain blockchain consensus. In case a pool is resigned due to not having enough votes to become a masternode, 50,000 TOMO must be locked by the TomoChain blockchain for 30 days. In this event, any TOMO amount that exceeds 50,000 TOMO shall be withdrawn/released to users proportionally to their amount of TOMO being locked in the blockchain. The Company cannot assist to withdraw the 50,000 locked TOMO before the 30 days locked elapsed.

No staking rewards if pool is not a masternode

A pool must be voted by a certain amount of staked amount to become a masternode. The minimum staked TOMO for a pool to become a masternode is not fixed as it changes depending on the TomoChain blockchain state. In case a pool does not have enough vote/stake or the pool is not a masternode, no rewards would be distributed to stakers of that pool.

Annual Return of Interest (ROI) is not fixed

Annual ROI of a pool is not fixed as it depends on several factors:

  • The amount of staked TOMO in the pool
  • The number of active masternodes in the TomoChain blockchain
  • The stability of the servers running the node for the pool
  • The source code of the TomoChain blockchain
  • The status of a pool: being a masternode or not

No Control and No Duty over Risk

Any fee that you might pay while using the Services is not a remuneration of the Company for the Services. This fee is to pay for Masternodes who produce the block to maintain the TomoChain blockchain.

The Company provides you with the Services but you are the only person who is liable for any losses, damages, claims related to the use of the Services.
