Terms of Service
Last updated: February 21, 2026
Important: By using Chainshorts you agree to these terms. Chainshorts provides news summarization and community features — not financial advice. Crypto assets are volatile. Never invest more than you can afford to lose.
1. Service Description
Chainshorts is a mobile application that aggregates and summarizes cryptocurrency and Web3 news using AI. It provides community reaction features, opinion polls, and threat alerts based on on-chain data. All content is informational only and does not constitute financial, investment, or legal advice.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to use Chainshorts. By using the app you represent that you meet this requirement and are not prohibited from using blockchain applications in your jurisdiction.
3. Wallet Authentication
Chainshorts uses Sign-In With Solana (SIWS) for authentication. You authenticate by signing a challenge message with your Solana wallet. We never have access to your private keys. You are responsible for maintaining control of your wallet.
4. SKR Token Economy
| Tier | SKR Required | Access |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 0 SKR | Full news feed, reactions, opinion polls |
| Signal | 100 SKR held | Alpha feed, threat feed, priority alerts |
| Alpha | 500 SKR held | Signal + enhanced analytics |
| Pro | 2,000 SKR held | All features + API access + dev feed |
SKR token balances are read from the Solana blockchain. Chainshorts does not sell, issue, or guarantee the value of SKR tokens. Tier access may change if your balance changes.
5. Paid Features
Certain features require spending SKR tokens (Deep-Dive Reports: 100 SKR; Content Boosts: 50 SKR). Payments are on-chain transactions verified by our API. SKR payments are non-refundable once the transaction is confirmed on-chain.
6. Content & AI Accuracy
News summaries are generated by AI and may contain errors or omissions. We run a 4-stage fact-checking pipeline but cannot guarantee 100% accuracy. Always verify important information from primary sources before making decisions.
7. On-Chain Reactions & Opinions
Reactions and opinion poll votes are signed by your wallet and stored on our servers (not on-chain). These are linked to your wallet address and publicly visible within the app. One wallet = one reaction per article.
8. Threat Alerts
Threat alerts are derived from on-chain data and are informational only. They do not constitute trading signals or investment advice. Past alert accuracy does not guarantee future performance.
9. Acceptable Use
- Do not attempt to manipulate reaction counts or opinion polls
- Do not use the API to scrape or redistribute content at scale
- Do not submit or boost misleading or harmful content
- Do not attempt to reverse-engineer our AI pipeline or security measures
10. Disclaimers
Chainshorts is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee uninterrupted service, data accuracy, or that the app will be free of errors. AI-generated content may be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated.
11. Limitation of Liability
Chainshorts shall not be liable for any financial losses, missed opportunities, or other damages arising from use of the app or reliance on its content. Our total liability to you shall not exceed $100 USD.
12. Changes to Terms
We may update these terms at any time. Updates are posted at chainshorts.live/terms with a revised date. Continued use constitutes acceptance.
