Legal
Terms of Service
These terms govern your use of the HWA interface — the website you are reading right now. They are written to be read, not to be skipped. If something below is unacceptable to you, do not use the interface.
1. What this interface is
HWA is a front end: open-source software that runs in your browser, reads public state from the HyperEVM network, and helps you format transactions that your own wallet may then sign and broadcast. It is a convenience layer over public smart contracts. Anyone can interact with those contracts without this interface, and anyone can run their own copy of this interface.
Because the interface is only software, it makes no promises on behalf of the contracts and cannot alter how they behave. Where this document and the deployed contract code disagree, the contract code is what actually happens.
2. What the protocol does
Depositors escrow an NFT together with HYPE backing, which creates a listing. Purchasers pay HYPE for an acquisition attempt against the pool; a randomness draw selects one active listing and allocates it to the purchaser. The purchaser then settles: keep the NFT, keep and relist it, or accept the depositor's standing bid and receive part of the backing instead. If the purchaser does not settle within 24 hours, the depositor may resolve the position; after 7 days anyone may finalize the default outcome.
Fees accrue to depositors and to the protocol as described in the interface at the moment you act. The parameters shown on screen are read from the deployment; they can change if the contracts are upgraded or redeployed.
3. The interface never holds your funds
This interface has no wallet, no account and no server-side balance. It never takes custody of your HYPE, your NFTs, your private keys or your seed phrase, and it will never ask you for them. Every movement of value happens in a transaction that you approve in your own wallet, executed by smart contracts.
While a position is escrowed, the relevant assets are held by those contracts under their published rules — not by anyone operating this website. Nobody here can reverse, refund, freeze or expedite a transaction on your behalf.
4. Randomness and the risk of loss
Acquisitions are decided by a randomness draw. Which listing you receive is not chosen by you and is not chosen by the interface. You may pay for an attempt and receive a listing you consider worth far less than you paid. That is an expected outcome of the mechanism, not a malfunction.
Digital assets are volatile and can become illiquid or worthless. Smart contracts can contain bugs. Randomness sources, relayers, indexers and RPC providers can fail, stall or return wrong data. Network congestion can delay settlement past the point where an outcome still suits you. You can lose some or all of what you commit. Only commit funds you are prepared to lose entirely.
5. No investment advice
Nothing in this interface — prices, odds, pool statistics, activity feeds, rewards figures or explanatory text — is financial, investment, legal or tax advice, a recommendation, or a solicitation. No one here is your broker, adviser or fiduciary. Numbers are shown to describe the current state of public contracts, not to predict returns. Do your own research, and take professional advice where you need it.
6. Build status and displayed data
This build is pointed at HyperEVM mainnet. Transactions you approve are real, irreversible, and move real assets.
Where a module is not deployed, the interface says so rather than inventing a value. Data reaches you through third-party infrastructure — RPC endpoints, indexers, block explorers, image hosts — that is outside anyone's control here and may be delayed, incomplete or simply wrong. Treat on-screen numbers as a best-effort view of chain state, and verify anything that matters against the chain itself before you act on it.
7. Your responsibilities
You are responsible for the security of your wallet and device, for reviewing every transaction before you approve it, and for confirming you are on the address you intend to use. You are responsible for determining whether using this software is lawful where you are, and for any tax that arises from what you do with it. Do not use the interface to launder funds, to evade sanctions, or to interact with assets you have no right to.
NFT names, images and collection labels are supplied by third parties and are displayed as-is. They may be misleading, may impersonate other collections, or may link to content that has since changed. Verify the contract address of anything you care about.
8. No warranty, and limits on liability
The interface is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied — including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or non-infringement. There is no guarantee that the interface will be available, accurate, uninterrupted, or free of defects, and no guarantee that the underlying contracts are free of bugs or economic flaws.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the authors and contributors of this software are not liable for any loss of funds, loss of assets, loss of profits or loss of data arising from your use of the interface or of the contracts it talks to, whether the loss follows from a defect, a randomness outcome, a third-party failure, or your own transaction.
9. Open source, and changes
This interface is open-source software talking to public contracts. You may read it, fork it, host it yourself, and verify that it does what this page claims. Its licence ships with the source. Access to any particular hosted copy — including this one — may change or end at any time; the contracts remain reachable independently of it.
These terms may change as the protocol changes. The version that applies is the one shipped with the build you are using; continuing to use the interface after a change means you accept the updated version.
10. Acceptance
When you connect a wallet, the interface asks you to confirm that you have read and agree to these terms. That confirmation is stored locally in your browser, for the connected address only. It is not a wallet signature in this build, it is not sent anywhere, and it authorizes no transaction and moves no funds. Connecting a different address asks again; clearing your browser data clears the record.
This document deliberately does not name an operating company, jurisdiction, postal address or contact email, because none is published for this build. If that changes, it will be stated here rather than implied.
