Terms of Service

    Last Updated: 2025

    1. Acceptance of Terms

    By accessing and using the FORGE ORE platform ("the Platform"), you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Platform.

    The Platform is provided by the Forge team ("we", "us", "our") and allows users to earn rewards based on their trading activity on Forge-launched tokens.

    2. Eligibility

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

    You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Platform complies with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.

    3. How the Platform Works

    The Platform tracks trading volume on Forge-launched tokens and awards ORE (reward points) at a rate of 1,000 ORE per SOL in trading volume.

    Every week, the smelter opens on Wednesday at 10 AM EST and closes Thursday at 10 AM EST. During this window, you can smelt your ORE into SOL rewards. Your share of the reward pool is based on your ORE compared to total unsmelted ORE in the system.

    The Ore Veins referral system provides bonus ORE to connected miners and vein owners as described in the platform documentation.

    4. Wallet Connection & Security

    You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Solana wallet and private keys. We never have access to your private keys or funds.

    The Platform uses wallet signatures for authentication purposes only. We do not and cannot initiate transactions from your wallet without your explicit approval.

    You are solely responsible for any activities or actions under your wallet address, whether authorized by you or not.

    5. Risks & Disclaimers

    IMPORTANT: Trading cryptocurrency involves substantial risk of loss.

    The FORGE ORE rewards program does not guarantee any specific returns or rewards. Reward pool sizes vary based on overall trading volume and platform activity.

    The value of SOL and other cryptocurrencies is highly volatile. Rewards paid in SOL may be worth significantly more or less at the time you receive them compared to when you earned the ORE.

    We reserve the right to modify the mining rate, reward pool percentage, or other platform mechanics with reasonable notice to users. Any changes will be communicated through official channels.

    The Platform may identify and flag suspicious trading activity. We reserve the right to withhold rewards from accounts engaged in wash trading, market manipulation, or other prohibited activities.

    6. Prohibited Activities

    You agree not to:

    • Engage in wash trading or market manipulation to artificially inflate ORE mining
    • Use bots, scripts, or automated systems to game the rewards system
    • Create multiple accounts to circumvent Ore Vein connection limits
    • Exploit bugs or vulnerabilities in the Platform for personal gain
    • Interfere with or disrupt the Platform's operation
    • Use the Platform for any illegal or unauthorized purpose

    Violation of these terms may result in account suspension, reward forfeiture, and potential legal action.

    7. Ore Veins & Referrals

    Ore Vein connections are permanent and cannot be changed once set. Choose your connection carefully.

    Vein owners are not responsible for the trading activity or rewards of their connected miners. Each user is an independent participant in the Platform.

    We reserve the right to remove or adjust bonus rewards from Ore Vein networks found to be engaged in coordinated manipulation or abuse of the system.

    8. Smelting Rewards

    ORE expires 30 days after mining. You must smelt your ORE during a weekly smelting window (Wednesday 10 AM - Thursday 10 AM EST) before it expires. Expired ORE cannot be recovered.

    When you smelt, SOL rewards are sent directly to your connected wallet. You are responsible for any network fees associated with receiving rewards.

    In the event of technical issues or errors, we reserve the right to adjust reward calculations or delay reward distribution until issues are resolved.

    9. Privacy & Data

    We collect your wallet address, trading activity on Forge-launched tokens, and ORE mining history to operate the Platform.

    All trading data is sourced from the public Solana blockchain. We do not collect or store any personal information beyond your wallet address and optional username.

    Leaderboard data, including wallet addresses and mining statistics, is publicly visible on the Platform.

    10. No Warranties

    THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.

    We do not guarantee that the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. We are not responsible for any losses resulting from Platform downtime, bugs, or technical issues.

    We make no representations about the accuracy or completeness of trading data, ORE calculations, or reward distributions, though we strive for accuracy in all calculations.

    11. Limitation of Liability

    To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly.

    Our total liability to you for any claims arising out of or related to the Platform shall not exceed the total amount of rewards you have successfully claimed in the past 12 months.

    12. Platform Modifications

    We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Platform at any time with or without notice.

    We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.

    Major changes to mining rates, reward pool percentages, or core mechanics will be announced in advance when possible.

    13. Governing Law

    These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws, without regard to conflict of law principles.

    Any disputes arising from these Terms or use of the Platform shall be resolved through binding arbitration, except where prohibited by law.

    14. Contact
