Terms of Service

Lotus is a non-custodial web interface, hosted at launchlotus.com, to smart contracts deployed on Arc Mainnet (EVM chain ID 5042). The interface helps you read on-chain data and construct transactions that your own wallet signs and broadcasts. Lotus does not operate the blockchain, does not custody your funds, does not execute trades on your behalf, and cannot move, freeze, or recover any asset. Every action is a transaction you authorize directly with your wallet. Product documentation is at /docs.

By accessing launchlotus.com, connecting a wallet, or submitting a transaction through the interface, you agree to these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Risk disclosure. If you do not agree, do not use the interface. The underlying contracts remain publicly callable by other means; these Terms govern use of our hosted front-end and related APIs.

You must be of legal age in your jurisdiction and legally permitted to use blockchain applications where you live. You are responsible for complying with all laws that apply to you, including tax, securities, commodities, consumer, and sanctions laws. Do not use Lotus if doing so is prohibited where you are, or if you are a sanctioned person or acting for one. We may geo-restrict or otherwise limit the hosted interface without affecting the public contracts.

Lotus never takes possession of your tokens or USDC and never has access to your private keys or recovery phrase. You interact peer-to-contract. Because the contracts are permissionless and immutable after deploy, no one—including the Lotus team—can reverse, cancel, or alter a confirmed transaction, nor recover funds sent to a wrong address or lost through a compromised wallet, phishing, or malware.

Anyone can create a token through the Lotus contracts. Names, images, descriptions, and links are supplied by creators and users. Lotus does not create, endorse, vet, audit, or vouch for any token, creator, or project. Appearance in the interface is not a recommendation or listing approval. A token’s branding may imitate a real project without authorization. Always verify the contract address yourself before trading or approving allowances.

Nothing on Lotus is financial, investment, legal, accounting, or tax advice. Market data, charts, quotes, market caps, bonding progress, and reward figures are convenience displays. They may be delayed, incomplete, or wrong (especially when an indexer lags or RPC fails) and must not be relied on as the sole basis for any decision. You alone evaluate merits and risks.

Trading fees are enforced by the contracts, not by discretionary UI billing. Before a token bonds, the current curve fee is 1%; creator earnings and community rewards stay inactive, while net buys grow the curve reserve. The v2 post-bond fee remains 1%, split 0.20% platform, 0.20% creator, 0.30% community rewards, and 0.30% locked liquidity. Legacy Arc v1 launches predate that corrected split and do not use the v2 reward rails; new v2 launches do. Claim controls remain guarded by live on-chain readiness checks. Network gas is separate and paid on Arc. Exact enforceable parameters are those in the live contracts and shown at trade time.

When a token reaches its bonding target it graduates: reserved supply is paired with raised USDC (and accumulated graduation liquidity) into a Uniswap v3 pool that opens at the final curve price. Liquidity principal is permanent and cannot be withdrawn by creators or Lotus. Supply not placed into the pool at graduation is permanently removed from circulation; total supply remains one billion tokens.

Any “move USDC,” gateway, or bridge feature is either a link into third-party or official Arc/Circle infrastructure or a thin helper around it. Those systems have their own terms and risks (including message attestation, finality, and smart-contract risk). Lotus does not guarantee bridge availability, fees, or arrival times. Do not use unofficial deposit addresses from chat or email.

The hosted UI and APIs may be unavailable, rate-limited, or incorrect without notice. On-chain reads and indexer-backed feeds can diverge. Token images and social links may be hosted off-chain and linked from on-chain metadata; Lotus does not guarantee permanence of third-party storage URLs. Content you upload must not infringe others’ rights or violate law.

You are responsible for wallet and device security; for confirming you are on Arc Mainnet (chain ID 5042) and the intended contract address; for allowances you approve; for slippage and deadlines; and for every transaction you sign. Read the details on your wallet confirmation screen—not only this website—before approving.

Do not use Lotus to violate law; to launder proceeds of crime; to evade sanctions; to manipulate markets or deceive traders; to infringe intellectual property or publicity rights; to upload malware or illegal content; or to attack, scrape abusively, or disrupt the interface or its infrastructure. We may restrict access to the hosted interface at our discretion. The underlying contracts remain permissionless.

Lotus branding, interface design, and original site content are owned by their respective owners and may not be copied for competing services without permission. User-generated token metadata remains the responsibility of the uploader. Open-source components are governed by their licenses.

The interface is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant uninterrupted, error-free, or secure operation, or that displayed data is accurate or current. Lotus has not been represented to you as externally audited.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lotus and its contributors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, or for any loss of profits, tokens, USDC, or data, arising from your use of or inability to use the interface or the contracts, even if advised of the possibility. You accept that trading these tokens can result in the total loss of the funds you commit. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the greater of fifty US dollars (US$50) or the amount you paid us (if any) for access to the hosted interface in the three months before the claim.

You will defend and indemnify Lotus and its contributors against claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of the interface, your content, your tokens, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

We may update these Terms as the product evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with a new effective date. Continued use of the hosted interface after an update means you accept the revised Terms. Deployed contract bytecode does not change when this page changes.

Questions about these Terms: use the official contact channels linked from launchlotus.com. We will never ask for your seed phrase. For product behavior, start with Docs.
