Terms of Service

01Acceptance of these terms

By opening this website, calling the public API, or holding or trading $PLATO in connection with PlatoIndex, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use PlatoIndex.

These terms sit alongside our Privacy Policy. Together they are the whole agreement between you and PlatoIndex about the site.

02What PlatoIndex is

PlatoIndex is a rules-based index for tokens launched on the Elysium launchpad ecosystem. The site and keeper rank candidate tokens, select a basket of the top five, and show how a tax-funded pot is split between buying the basket for eligible holders and burning $PLATO.

PlatoIndex is an informational and automated tool. It is not a bank, broker, exchange, fund, investment manager or financial institution, and it does not offer securities or any regulated financial product.

03Not financial advice

Rankings, scores, momentum figures, baskets, calculators and every other number on the site are provided for information only. They are not investment, legal, tax or accounting advice, and they are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any token.

Do your own research. Speak to a qualified professional if you need advice about your situation.

04Risk

Using PlatoIndex means taking on real risk. By using it you accept that:

• Prices are volatile. Onchain coins can fall sharply, or to zero, in minutes. The value of $PLATO and of every basket token can go down as well as up.
• Launchpad tokens are high risk. New tokens can be illiquid, manipulated, abandoned or fraudulent. Being ranked by the index is not an endorsement or a safety check.
• Rankings can be wrong. The ranking is based on how much HYPE was spent buying each token over the last hour, with minimum buy counts. Buying can be staged or faked to climb it, the data can lag the market, and past rounds say nothing about future ones.
• Smart contracts can fail. Contracts, bridges, oracles and the chain itself can have bugs, be exploited or stop working. Transactions are final and cannot be reversed.
• Taxes and rules apply to you. Receiving tokens may create a tax liability where you live. Working that out is your job.
• Rules can change. Tax rates, basket size, burn share, eligibility and round timing may be changed as the project develops.

Only commit what you can afford to lose entirely.

05Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher, and able to enter a binding agreement. You must not be barred from using this kind of service under any law that applies to you.

You are solely responsible for knowing whether using PlatoIndex, and holding or receiving these tokens, is legal where you are. If it is not, do not use it.

06Wallets and custody

• PlatoIndex never takes custody of your funds. You hold your own keys, and you alone control and answer for your wallet.
• We will never ask for your private key or seed phrase. Anyone who does is not us. Never share them.
• The site does not connect to your wallet. Any signature or transaction you approve in your own wallet is yours, so check what you are signing.
• Blockchain transactions are irreversible. We cannot recover lost keys, mistaken transfers or tokens sent to the wrong address.

07Rounds, distributions and estimates

Baskets are rebuilt in rounds on a schedule. Eligibility depends on the rules shown on the site, including balance and how long you have held, and selling can reset your hold time. Where the site says tokens are delivered to eligible holders, that happens only if the onchain conditions are met when the round runs.

The holder calculator, tax-split chart and similar tools show estimates built from the inputs you enter. They are illustrations. Real outcomes depend on market prices, supply, other holders and the contracts at the time, and they can differ a lot from what you see.

We do not promise that any round will run on time, that any distribution will have a particular value, or that any basket token will keep any value or liquidity.

08Third-party tokens, services and links

The basket tokens are created by other people. PlatoIndex does not issue, control, audit or vouch for them. The site may also link to or rely on wallets, block explorers, decentralised exchanges, RPC providers and other services we do not run. We are not responsible for them, and your use of them is under their own terms.

09Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• break the law, or use PlatoIndex for fraud, money laundering, sanctions evasion or market manipulation;
• attack, probe, overload or interfere with the site, the API, the keeper or any contract, or try to get around rate limits;
• scrape the service at a rate that harms it, or misuse the public API;
• pretend to be PlatoIndex or someone else, or run phishing pages that copy this site.

We may block access to the site or API at any time if we think these rules are being broken.

10No warranties

PlatoIndex is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we give no warranty of any kind, express or implied, including about accuracy, completeness, reliability, availability, fitness for a particular purpose, or that the site, API or contracts will be free of errors or interruptions.

Data shown may be delayed, incomplete or wrong, and is not live data unless it is clearly labelled as such.

11Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, PlatoIndex and the people behind it are not liable for any loss or damage from your use of, or inability to use, the site, API, keeper or contracts. That includes lost funds, lost profits, trading losses, loss of tokens, failed or delayed rounds, tax costs, hacks, bugs, market movements, and the actions of third parties.

You use PlatoIndex entirely at your own risk. You agree to cover and hold us harmless against claims arising from your misuse of the service or your breach of these terms.

Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law.

12Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top shows when they last changed. If you keep using PlatoIndex after an update, you accept the new terms. We may also change, pause or stop any part of the service at any time without notice.
