We are not responsible for any blockchain network and its operation/status. World DeSci Forum provides an interface to interact with various blockchain networks, but we have no control over their operation, availability, or security. Any issues with blockchain networks themselves are outside our control.
We may integrate with various wallet technologies for web3 functionality, which may leverage secure infrastructure for threshold signature protected wallets. At no point do we ever know the private keys to your wallet.
Each project may have internal API keys, which you have access to on request. However, these API keys are provided by our third-party web3 service providers. We are not responsible for what you do with these keys, and we are not responsible for safeguarding them. If third-party providers lose or expose your key, the responsibility lies with them. You should assume these keys have access to your IP assets and more. Web3 savvy users should transfer assets to a non-custodial wallet they control for maximum security.
By accessing or using World DeSci Forum's platform ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our Service.
