Terms & Conditions
By operating a node on the Autonomi Network (the "Network"), you agree to the following terms and conditions:
Node Operation You will be expected to run a node on Autonomi, which will require you to allocate a portion of your computer's resources to support the Network for data storage and processing tasks.
Network Tokens: The Autonomi Network operates with Autonomi Tokens, which are utility tokens used for network transactions and rewards.
Rewards: Rewards are based on your node(s) performance on the Network. Performance is measured through data storage and retrieval services provided to the Network. Rewards are distributed based on your node's contribution to the Network's operation and may require your node to be running the latest software version.
Data Protection and Privacy: In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), we are committed to ensuring the protection and privacy of your data.
We will ensure that your personal data is processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently, without adversely affecting your rights. We will take all necessary measures to protect information against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures.
Your information will not be shared with third parties without your explicit consent, except as required by law or as necessary for the operation of the Network. You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, and object to the processing of your personal data. You also have the right to data portability where applicable.
Should you wish to exercise these rights or have any concerns about how your personal data is handled, please contact us at [email protected]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority competent for your country or region.
IP Address Visibility: When operating a node, your node's IP address will be visible to other nodes it connects to on the Network, and you will be able to see the IP addresses of nodes that connect to yours. This is necessary for the peer-to-peer operation of the Network.
Wallet Address Visibility: The wallet address associated with your node will be:
Provided to clients when they request storage quotes from your node
Visible and permanently stored on the blockchain when your node receives data payments from clients
Visible and permanently stored on the blockchain when your node receives emission payments from the Network
This is necessary for the Network's payment and reward systems to function.
Reward Distribution: Rewards will be distributed to the wallet address associated with your node.
Changes and Termination: We reserve the right to modify these terms and conditions or terminate your participation in the Network at any time and for any reason, without liability to you.
