Terms of Service

You must be at least 18 years old to use Cosmic Signature. By using this platform, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your Web3 wallet and private keys. Cosmic Signature will never ask for your private keys or seed phrase. Loss of access to your wallet may result in permanent loss of NFTs and funds.

You agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction when using Cosmic Signature, including those related to cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.

Cosmic Signature is a decentralized, procedural on-chain art protocol where participants make gestures with ETH or CST tokens during a Performance Cycle. Gestures extend the Cycle Finalization Time, record protocol entries, and may imprint dynamic Participation CST according to the smart contract formula. When the Cycle Finalization Time expires, the participant who made the Final Gesture may retrieve the Signature Allocation. Additional allocations are distributed according to the published allocation-track structure.

Participation CST imprinted by a gesture is not fixed. The amount depends on how much time has elapsed since the previous gesture and is calculated with a square-root formula. Very rapid gestures may imprint 0 CST.

The CST Gesture Cost descends through a Calibration Window stored on-chain. Each CST gesture increases that window by about 0.4%, and each ETH gesture decreases it by about 0.398%.

All protocol actions are executed through smart contracts on the Arbitrum network. Once a transaction is confirmed on-chain, it cannot be reversed. You acknowledge that blockchain transactions are final and irreversible.

You are responsible for paying all Arbitrum network gas fees associated with your transactions. Gas fees are separate from Gesture Cost and are paid to the network, not to Cosmic Signature.

A Random Walk NFT can be attached once to an ETH gesture to receive a 50% ETH Gesture Cost reduction. This action is permanent and cannot be undone. Once used, a Random Walk NFT cannot be used again for a cost reduction.

Allocations are distributed automatically according to the smart contract rules. In a typical cycle, 24 Cosmic Signature NFTs and 27,000 CST are imprinted across the allocation tracks below.

Some allocations require manual retrieval through the platform. The participant eligible for the Signature Allocation has 48 hours after the Cycle Finalization Time to finalize the cycle exclusively. After that window, anyone may finalize the cycle, and under the smart contract rules the finalizer becomes the cycle beneficiary and receives the Signature Allocation. Secondary ETH and attached-token or attached-NFT allocations use a separate retrieval timeout that defaults to 5 weeks; after it expires, the smart contracts permit anyone to retrieve unretrieved allocations for themselves. You are responsible for retrieving your allocations before these timeouts expire.

Participation in Cosmic Signature does not guarantee any outcome. All gestures are considered final, and you may not recover the full amount of your Gesture Cost. Never make gestures with funds you cannot afford to forgo.

You acknowledge the risks inherent in blockchain technology, including but not limited to: smart contract vulnerabilities, network congestion, gas price volatility, regulatory changes, and potential loss of funds due to technical issues.

Cosmic Signature is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from harmful components.

Cryptocurrency and NFT markets are highly volatile. The value of ETH, CST tokens, and NFTs may fluctuate significantly. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

While we strive to ensure the security of our smart contracts, no audit can guarantee complete security; see the audit for what was checked. You use the platform at your own risk.
