Our Services

We provide you with the Application that is a self-hosted, non-custodial wallet for The Open Network blockchain. The Application is a software that provides the following functionality:

(a) generates public wallet addresses and encrypted private keys that you may use to send and receive cryptocurrency in The Open Network blockchain;
(b) facilitates the submission of cryptocurrency transfer instructions to The Open Network blockchain;
(c) allows users to interact with a third-party supplier for cryptocurrency purchase purposes. It is important to note that we do not provide cryptocurrency purchase services by ourselves. The cryptocurrency purchase with a banking card is supported by J&B Investments Group Inc. When making a purchase, you agree with the terms of service provided by J&B Investments Group Inc.;
(d) allows users to interact with decentralized exchanges (e.g. Uniswap) for cryptocurrency exchange purposes. It is important to note that we do not provide cryptocurrency exchange services by ourselves. The cryptocurrency exchange is made by the users of the decentralized exchanges. When making an exchange, you agree with the terms of service provided by the relevant decentralized exchange.

The Application does not store your private keys, backup phrases, or passwords on its servers. It is important to note that you keep your private keys, backup phrases, or passwords secure. We recommend you write down your backup phrase and store it offline in only your available places. If you lose your private keys, backup phrases or passwords, it will not be possible for us to recover it for you and you may lose access to your cryptocurrencies stored with the Application.

The only authentic record of cryptocurrency transactions is The Open Network blockchain. The Application provides functionality that allows you to send cryptocurrency transfer instructions. In order to be completed, all proposed cryptocurrency transactions must be confirmed and recorded in The Open Network blockchain. This blockchain is decentralized, peer-to-peer network supported by independent third parties, which we do not own, control, or operate. We do not guarantee that your transactions will be completed, because your transaction shall be added, confirmed and stored in The Open Network blockchain. You are recommended to inquire about the fees (e.g. validation or mining fees) associated with your cryptocurrency transactions that are required by The Open Network blockchain you engage with. We shall not be responsible for any losses you incur due to the transaction fees or losses that occur due to incorrectly set transaction fees (i.e. too low or high).
