1. The short version

Use Gao DePIN lawfully, do not attack it or the people who use it, and do not try to see what you are not meant to see. This policy applies to the website, its public data, the node registry and the network, including any node you run.

2. Unlawful use

Do not use Gao DePIN to store, send or help others send anything unlawful, including material that exploits children, infringes someone else's rights, or facilitates fraud, violence or terrorism. Do not use it to evade sanctions or export controls.

3. Attacks on the network

Do not:

  • disrupt, overload or degrade the website, the registry, the control plane or any node, for example by denial-of-service traffic;
  • run fake or duplicate nodes to gain influence, or misreport a node's endpoint, capabilities or conformance;
  • forge, replay or tamper with signatures, leases, directory entries, probe results or bindings;
  • get around admission rules or rate limits;
  • probe, scan or test the security of systems you do not own, except under our security reporting route below.

4. Other people's traffic and privacy

Do not try to intercept, decrypt, de-anonymize or correlate other people's traffic. Do not try to identify the people behind routes, sender identifiers or IP addresses you see. Do not collect, sell or publish information about other users or node operators beyond what the network publishes for everyone.

5. Abuse and spam

Do not use the network to distribute malware, run command-and-control systems, send spam or bulk unsolicited messages, or host phishing.

6. Keys and accounts

Do not use another person's wallet, Gao ID or node key. Do not share, sell or publish node keys. Do not impersonate Gao, Toii Labs, a node operator or another user.

7. Scraping

You may read the public directory and summaries. Do not collect them in a way that degrades the website or the network.

8. Reporting

9. What we may do

If we reasonably believe this policy has been broken, we may limit or block access, remove a node's binding or admission, refuse a node's join, and report unlawful activity to the authorities. Where it is reasonable and lawful, we will tell the person affected and give them a way to respond.

10. Changes

We may update this policy. The date it was last updated is shown at the top of this page, and the date it takes effect will be shown there once it is published.
