The Services
- ChainPort is a technical solution that enables Users to port tokens of selected projects (“Supportable Tokens”) from and between supported blockchains.
- As a general rule, Supportable Tokens are limited only to such tokens which their issuer has accepted ChainPort’s applicable terms for issuers and projects, and which were duly integrated. Company reserves the right, however not assuming any liability or obligation to do so, to update or amend its policies regarding tokens supported by ChainPort, either in general or for a particular case. Company makes no representation or warranty regarding the amount, variety, type or identity of the Supported Tokens, or to their availability, and you accept the said parameters (all or any part thereof) may change from time to time.
- The porting of each Supported Token is first achieved by Users transferring tokens to ChainPort’s designated porting-contract on the blockchain on which such Supported Token was originally deployed and managed by its issuer (“Native Port Contract'' and “Native Chain”, respectively). The transfer of a Supportable Token to the Native Port Contract, will trigger the creation of a supply of the relevant Supportable Token on the target blockchain (“Target Chain'') in corresponding amount of the Tokens ported through ChainPort, which will automatically be added to the User’s designated account on the Target Chain by ChainPort’s designated porting contract on the Target Chain (“Target Port Contract”).
- Any Supported Token sent to the Native Port Contract, essentially becomes disabled and removed from actual circulation on the Native Chain, while correspondingly being added to circulation on the Target Chain. Once on the Target Chain the Supportable Token can be used in accordance with the specifications of the Target Chain standard or protocol (subjected to the issuer’s terms as may be applicable). AS CHAINPORT IS A TECHNICAL BRIDGING SOLUTION, AND THE SUPPORTABLE TOKENS SENT TO A NATIVE PORT CONTRACT ARE EFFECTIVELY DISABLED, FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT IT IS HEREBY CLARIFIED THAT THE COMPANY, NOR ANY OTHER PARTY, SHALL NOT, NOR DEEMED TO, BE GRANTED, RECEIVE OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRE OR POSSESS ANY RIGHTS WHATSOEVER IN SUCH SUPPORTABLE TOKENS SENT TO A NATIVE PORT CONTRACT.
- ChainPort is designed to also support the porting of Supported Tokens between different Target Chains and also back from a Target Chain to the Native Chain. You can send your Supported Tokens on the Target Chain to the Target Port Contract, effectively removing the Supported Token from the Target Chain, and correspondingly releasing a Supported Token into your account on the Native Chain.
- When using certain features of the Services, you will be asked to log in with your Wallet, and according to the action you wish to perform, you will need to insert the relevant parameters required for the transaction. Based on those parameters, your Wallet in turn should create the applicable command line.
Porting, Staking and other Actions included in the Services.
- In order to use certain Services, you will be asked to log into your Wallet and connect it to ChainPort. Once logged in to your Wallet, you will be asked to select or fill in the relevant parameters (such as the amount of Supported Tokens you wish to port, the Target Chain you want to port to and your account on the Target Chain where your Supported Tokens will be ported to, or amounts of PORTX Tokens you wish to stake). Please make sure you carefully review the parameters (or command line created by your Wallet), and that it reflects your desired actions, before you execute it.
- Also, you should make sure you understand the terms, conditions and associated risks applicable to using blockchain technology in general, and specifically the Supported Tokens, Wallets and the Effective Chain.
- Since ChainPort is a blockchain based solution, performing actions through the Website (integrated to your Wallet) is not the only way to execute the desired actions, but rather just a way to assist you to create a relevant command you can than execute without the need to interact directly with the blockchain via other interfaces, which requires certain levels of knowledge and technical experience. Though not advisable, you can choose to use - at your own risk - any other method or any other way of transacting with the ChainPort’s smart contracts on the Effective Chains, at your sole and complete discretion.
USER’s Representations
- With respect to any Supportable Tokens You port through ChainPort, you hereby acknowledge, represent and confirm that:
- you lose and waive any and all rights and claims in the Supportable Tokens you’ve transferred to the Native Port Contract (effectively becoming disabled) and/or in relation to such tokens;
- such porting of Supportable Tokens through ChainPort is made under your complete and independent discretion, for the purpose of holding a Supported Token only on the relevant blockchain of your choice (supported by ChainPort with respect to the relevant Supported Token, may it be the Native or a Target Chain, as applicable) (“Effective Chain”);
- The only Supported Token you own is the one in your account on the Effective Chain;
- You cannot use ChainPort unless you hold Supportable Tokens on the Effective Chain from which you want to port to a different Target Chain;
- Company does not guarantee, promise or make any warranty with regard to the ability to port Supported Tokens to different Target Chains, or back to the Native Chain, and you understand and accept that once you ported your Supported Tokens to a Target Chain, you may not be able to port back or further.
- You must own and control an account on the Target Chain to which you’re Supported Tokens will be ported to, and must indicate the correct account information when using ChainPort. If you don’t have such an account or fail to indicate the right account information, you will not be able to port your Supportable Tokens and may lose them.
Disclaimers
- ChainPort is strictly a technical solution and service, with its design limited to enable porting of Supported Tokens from and between Native and Target chains.
- ChainPort is not, and the Company does not operate nor provide, a virtual assets exchange platform, virtual assets services or clearing services, and the Services do not include any custodial or fiduciary duties.
- THE SUPPORTABLE TOKENS SENT TO A NATIVE PORT CONTRACT ARE EFFECTIVELY DISABLED, THUS, FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT THE COMPANY, NOR ANY OTHER PARTY, SHALL NOT, NOR DEEMED TO, BE GRANTED, RECEIVE OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRE OR POSSESS ANY RIGHTS WHATSOEVER IN SUCH SUPPORTABLE TOKENS SENT TO A NATIVE PORT CONTRACT. As they are disabled and voided, such Tokens will not be accessible to any party, including the Company, either than by the Native Smart Contract, strictly under the autonomous operation of ChainPort. For the avoidance of doubt, such disabled Tokens, will not be considered as any party’s property, including under foreclosure proceedings.
- You understand that the Company is not registered or licensed by any financial regulatory authority under any jurisdiction. No financial regulatory authority has reviewed or approved the use of Services. This Website and the Services do not constitute advice or a recommendation concerning any commodity, security, or other assets.
- You understand and accept complete and sole responsibility for and over any assets held by you or ported by you to your accounts, and any private keys to the digital asset Wallets you hold.
- The use of the Services and these Terms, are not intended to, and do not, create or impose any fiduciary duties on the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you acknowledge and agree that the Company owes no fiduciary duties or liabilities to you or any other party, and that to the extent any such duties or liabilities may exist under applicable law, those duties and liabilities are hereby irrevocably disclaimed, waived, and eliminated. You further agree that the only duties and obligations that the Company owes you are those set out expressly in these Terms.
- ChainPort’s Supportable Tokens are not issued by Company, nor does the Company control the smart contracts that manage the supply of the Supportable Tokens.
- When integrating Supported Tokens into ChainPort, the Company only examines technical aspects of such tokens for compatibility purposes.
- The Company does not review, examine, analyze or perform any due-diligence process of, nor does it offer any advice, recommendation or information regarding, the Supported Token’s issuer, team or affiliates, nor such token’s use, utilities, rights, legal or regulatory status, financial or economical attributes, or any other aspects whatsoever.
- The issuers of each Supported Token are independent, unrelated third parties and any interaction and/or transacting with them is at your own risk and responsibility, after exploring and understanding the applicable terms governing their operation, activity and the specific services, utilities or rights they are offering, including with respect to the tokens issued by them.
- The Company shall bear no responsibility or liability with regard to any Supported Token, other than with respect to ChainPort’s operations alone.
PORX Token
The PORTX token is ChainPort's utility token. PORTX holders can stake their tokens to pay discounted porting fees and earn a portion from the collected porting fees, and PORTX taxable mechanism, forever. For the terms applicable to the uses of PORTX token, see below.
Service Fees
- The use of certain Services on ChainPort is subject to fees, set in part to cover the expenses related to conducting operations and executing transactions on the blockchain, as required by the applicable chain/protocol.
- Porting Fee: The fee for porting tokens through ChainPort is derived from the volume of the porting transaction you wish to execute through the system, and calculated as a percentage of the value of the tokens you wish to port (“Porting Fee”).
- The Porting Fee may be updated from time to time by the Company at its sole discretion, and shall be published by the Company on the Website.
- You acknowledge that part of the Porting Fee is used by ChainPort to cover the costs related to executing the porting transaction on both the Effective and Target Chains, at such rates and amounts determined by the applicable protocol. Such amounts may vary according to the Porting transaction’s specifications, the type of tokens involved and the applicable blockchains involved.
- ChainPort system calculates the Porting Fee for each porting transaction you wish to initiate automatically and integrates the Porting Fee in such transactions, so you may view it in your Wallet and approve it as part of your approval of each and any porting transaction. If you do not wish to pay or do not approve the applicable Porting Fee, do not approve the porting transaction.
- The Porting Fee could be paid is several methods:
- Payment using the Ported Token: The most basic method for paying the Porting Fee is by using the Supported Token you wish to port through ChainPort. ChainPort will automatically calculate the applicable amount out of the total amount of tokens to be ported, dedicate them from the actual amount of tokens ported, and use them to cover the Porting Fee (as an example, if the Porting Fee is 3%, and you wish to port 100 tokens, then 3 tokens will be used to cover the Porting Fee and 97 tokens will be ported to the Target Chain).
- Payment using PORTX Tokens: You can choose to use PORTX Tokens to cover your Porting Fees. Currently, payment by using PORTX Tokens will enable the user to have access to a discounted Ported Fee, as detailed and updated from time to time on the Website. In order to pay Poring Fees with PORTX Tokens, you must first stake your PORTX Tokens as detailed in https://app.chainport.io/stakeportx. If you choose to pay with PORTX Tokens, the applicable amount of your staked PORTX shall be reduced and transferred from your staked PORTX balance.
- Payment using Effective Chain's Native Token (the one used to pay the transaction fees on the Effective Chain): You can choose to pay Porting Fees using the Effective Chain’s applicable native token (as an example, for porting an ERC-20 token from Ethereum, the user can pay the fee in ETH, or porting from Polygon using Matic for the fee) (“Native Token”). To do so, you must hold a sufficient balance of the Native Token in your Wallet, out of which the applicable amount shall be transferred from your Wallet.
- In case you choose to pay the Porting Fees using either PORTX Tokens or Native Tokens, ChainPort will automatically calculate the relative amounts based on the quoted exchange rate of the tokens you wish to port, and the token used for paying the Porting Fee, integrate them in the Porting transaction displayed by your Wallet, and subjected to your approval. The said quotes will be taken from the same source, which will be a leading application used to provide quoted prices for tokens.
- You further acknowledge that certain blockchains, such as CARDANO, require a transaction to include unique features such as sending part of the blockchain’s transaction fee to the recipient's wallet. In such cases Chainport shall automatically calculate and configure such elements into the Porting transaction.
- You hereby represent and acknowledge that the Company has no control or any other connection to the transaction fees for each protocol which are independently determined by such blockchain’s operators or protocol.
