2. Definitions

2.1 This Service allows BloFin users to Subscribe their Digital Assets on a Staking Protocol(s) through the Platform, so that they may earn Rewards. Subject to the terms and conditions of these On-chain Yield Terms, Subscribed Digital Assets may not be Redeemed until after a period of time has elapsed, depending on the Staking Protocol chosen and market conditions.

2.2 Definitions relating to the Service include:

b. Estimated Rewards: a currently estimated rate or amount of Rewards. Actual Rewards may be higher, lower or the same as Estimated Rewards;

This limitation of liability is in addition to the limitation of liability contained in the Terms of Use.

3.4 BloFin further disclaims that:

a. By Subscribing to an On-chain Yields Offer you can earn On-chain Yields Rewards, in exchange for providing DeFi Projects with your Subscribed Digital Assets, through BloFin. On-chain Yields Rewards are not guaranteed or fixed, and the rates and timing of On-chain Yields Rewards may vary.

b. You understand and agree that by electing to participate in On-chain Yields Services: (i) BloFin (or any of its staking operators) has the authority to put your Subscribed Digital Assets into DeFi protocols or smart contracts owned by Applicable Networks, and (ii) once this is done, your Subscribed Digital Assets may no longer be held with BloFin or a BloFin Affiliate, and BloFin may have little or no control over them. Consequently, you acknowledge and accept the risks and liability set out in this clause and the Risk Warning.

c. The use of Subscribed Digital Assets for On-chain Yields Services may be subject to various risks. In exceptional circumstances these risks could negatively impact the ability of BloFin to return your Subscribed Digital Assets in full or at all. Please refer to our Risk Warning for a summary overview of some (but not all) of the risks that may result from subscribing Digital Assets to an On-chain Yields Offer, including risks that may arise from delegating Subscribed Digital Assets to Applicable Networks such as protocol risk.

d. BloFin does not make any representation or warranty that On-chain Yields is appropriate (i) for any user or in any location, or (ii) that the transactions and services described in these On-chain Yields Terms are (or will continue to be) available or appropriate for any user or in any location. You are strongly encouraged to carefully review these On-chain Yields Terms and seek independent professional advice as to whether On-chain Yields Services are appropriate for you having regard to your personal circumstances and objectives, financial position and risk tolerance.

e. By accepting these On-chain Yields Terms, you hereby unconditionally and irrevocably: (i) confirm that you understand, accept and assume full responsibility for participating in On-chain Yields together with any and all associated risks with your subscription to an On-chain Yields Offer, including without limitation the risks described in these On-chain Yields Terms and our Risk Warning, (ii) explicitly consent to, and grant BloFin Group Entities all necessary rights for, BloFin using your Subscribed Digital Assets as described in these On-chain Yields Terms and any associated risks, and (iii) have carefully assessed whether, and determined that, On-chain Yields Services are appropriate for you.

3.5 BLOFIN DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE ON-CHAIN YIELDS DEFI REWARDS AT THE DEFI RATE SHOWN AT THE TIME YOU SUBSCRIBE. ANY REPRESENTATION CONCERNING POSSIBLE RETURN AT THE TIME YOU SUBSCRIBE (I) IS AN ESTIMATE ONLY AND NOT GUARANTEED, (II) IS BASED ON THE DEFI RATE, WHICH MAY CHANGE, AND (III) MAY BE MORE OR LESS THAN THE ONCHAIN YIELDS REWARDS.

4. Use of the Service

4.1 You may create an opening of a position through the Service by way of a manual order on the Platform, you are required to select: (i) a Staking Protocol; and (ii) a Digital Asset quantity. The Platform will show an Estimated Reward, and a minimum Digital Asset Subscription quantity for each Staking Protocol. Your Subscribed Digital Assets may not earn Rewards at a rate equivalent to or better than the Estimated Reward shown at the time of order placement. Once the order has been placed, you may not be able to cancel, revoke or edit the order.

4.2 Once your order has been placed, BloFin shall attempt to Subscribe or allocate to you Digital Assets Subscribed on the selected Staking Protocol, in an amount equivalent to a whole or a part of your Order Quantity. Depending on the Staking Protocol chosen and market conditions, your order may not be successfully placed and you will not earn any Rewards. You will not earn any Rewards until the amount equivalent to a whole or a part of your Order Quantity is successfully Subscribed to the chosen Staking Protocol and all applicable conditions of the Staking Protocol are satisfied ("Reward Calculation Day"). The Reward Calculation Day may not be the same day when you placed your order at the BloFin Platform.

4.3 Rewards shall:

a. Start accruing from the Reward Calculation Day. Rewards will accrue every day and will be calculated on the basis of the number of days elapsed and a 365-day year. You do not earn any Rewards for the first day on which you place an order. The frequency at which Rewards will be distributed to your account will depend on the Staking Protocol chosen and market conditions;

b. For all other Staking Protocols: accrue in the Digital Asset Subscribed, unless otherwise specified on the BloFin Platform;

c. Accrue at a rate to be determined by the Staking Protocol chosen. Such rate can vary frequently. It can also vary based on the mechanics of the Staking Protocol, market conditions, and other factors depending on the Staking Protocol chosen;

d. Not accrue if your order is not successful.

BloFin may from time to time deploy yield-optimisation strategies which allow for additional yield to be gained from the Staking Protocol due to actions other than solely due to the subscription of your Digital Assets. This may include the subscription of BloFin proprietary assets to optimize reward calculation mechanisms within the Staking Protocol. Some or all of the additional yield gained by BloFin in this way may be shared with you as a component of the Reward, and any such Reward component will be indicated as a "bonus" on the BloFin Platform.

4.4 In order to Redeem your Subscribed Digital Assets, you must enter a Redemption request into the Platform. Partial Redemptions may not be permitted, and you may be required in any Redemption request to Redeem your complete Order Quantity. Once you have entered a Redemption request, you will no longer earn any Rewards in relation to the Digital Assets which are the subject of your Redemption request. Once a Redemption request has been placed, you may not be able to cancel, revoke or edit the request. The speed at which any Redemption request may be satisfied will vary and depend on market conditions. You agree and accept that when you Redeem your Digital Assets, the time it takes for the Digital Assets to arrive at your account may vary (e.g., by days or weeks). BloFin shall not be liable for any losses caused by the difference between estimated and actual Digital Asset arrival time.

4.5 BloFin may provide users with a "Fast Redemption" feature in the Service. Such feature is selected by default but is available only if there is sufficient liquidity in the Service to provide users with Fast Redemption. Fast Redemption is not guaranteed, it may not be available (with or without notice) and users may need to await standard Redemption (as described in the preceding clause) in order for their Redemption request to be satisfied. Liquidity to provide Fast Redemption is sourced from Users' Order Quantity. You agree that a portion of your Order Quantity may be used for such liquidity. BloFin reserves the right to suspend Fast Redemption without notice at any time at its sole discretion.

4.6 BloFin reserves the right to introduce, impose, adjust or remove any Subscription or Redemption limit on the corresponding amount or time period in its sole discretion, while you are using the Service. Master accounts and sub-accounts may share any limits or periods.

5. Suspension or Termination or Cancellation

5.1 BloFin may suspend, cancel or terminate the Service, or your use of the Service at any time at its sole discretion. BloFin may suspend or remove any Staking Protocol from the Service (or add a previous or new Staking Protocol to the Service). The Terms of Use set out the circumstances in which BloFin may suspend, cancel or terminate the Service. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, those circumstances may include situations where:

a. You do not provide additional information to verify your identity or source of funds as requested by BloFin;

b. BloFin is required to do so by court order, to comply with any Applicable Laws and Regulations;

c. BloFin is required to do so to comply with any direction or instruction from a government body or agency;

d. BloFin reasonably determines that any information you have provided to BloFin is wrong, untruthful, outdated or incomplete; or

e. You do not provide additional information that we request to our reasonable satisfaction or in a timely manner.

6. Technology Disclaimers

The Services may be subject to malfunctions and delays inherent in the use of the internet and electronic communications.

6.4 Despite our efforts to ensure the security of your data and transactions, the risk of unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches cannot be completely eliminated. You acknowledge that you bear the risk of any unauthorized access to your account information and any loss of Digital Assets resulting from such security breaches.

6.5 The field of digital assets is rapidly evolving, and changes in technology may require adjustments to the Services or how you interact with the Platform. BloFin reserves the right to modify the technology used, the features provided, or the Service requirements based on technological advancements or regulatory changes without prior notice.

7. Mandatory Measures

a. Market manipulation, price manipulation, insider dealing, market distortion, or any other malicious wrongdoing or behavior;

b. Participation in any activities that BloFin regards as harmful to the market;

c. Violation of any Applicable Laws and Regulation.

In order to eliminate any adverse effects on the overall market, BloFin reserves the right and sole discretion to suspend or terminate your account, use of the Service, or refuse to execute or cancel your commands.
