6. NON-CUSTODIAL SERVICES

Unless explicitly agreed otherwise in writing, all Services provided by Myrmidon Staking are strictly non-custodial.


You retain sole ownership and control of your:


  • Wallets
  • Private keys
  • Recovery phrases
  • Withdrawal credentials
  • Validator credentials
  • Digital assets

Myrmidon Staking does not take custody of your private keys, recovery phrases, or withdrawal credentials and cannot recover, reset, replace, or restore them.


You acknowledge that blockchain transactions are irreversible. Myrmidon Staking cannot reverse transactions, recover transferred assets, recover lost private keys, or otherwise restore access to digital assets.


Except where explicitly stated otherwise, Myrmidon Staking acts solely as a provider of technical infrastructure and validator services. We are not a bank, financial institution, broker, exchange, custodian, investment adviser, fiduciary, payment processor, or asset manager.


7. NATIVE ETHEREUM STAKING

Myrmidon Staking may provide infrastructure for the creation, operation, monitoring, maintenance and management of native Ethereum validators.


Native Ethereum staking generally requires the deposit of the amount of ETH specified by the Ethereum protocol for each validator. The required deposit amount, validator activation process, withdrawal process and reward structure are determined by the Ethereum protocol and may change without notice.


Depending on the Service selected, Myrmidon Staking may generate, store or operate validator signing keys required to perform validator duties. Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, Myrmidon Staking does not control the withdrawal credentials associated with your validator.


You are solely responsible for verifying that all withdrawal credentials, fee recipient addresses, deposit data, wallet addresses and validator configuration details provided by you are correct.


Myrmidon Staking is not responsible for any loss arising from incorrect, invalid, inaccessible or compromised addresses, credentials, deposit data or other information supplied by you or by a third party acting on your behalf.


You acknowledge that activation, exit and withdrawal times are determined by the Ethereum network and may be delayed by validator queues, protocol rules, network congestion, forks, upgrades, emergencies or other circumstances outside the control of Myrmidon Staking.


Myrmidon Staking does not guarantee:


  • Any minimum or fixed staking reward.
  • Immediate validator activation.
  • Immediate validator exit or withdrawal.
  • Continuous validator participation.
  • That every validator duty will be completed.
  • That rewards will meet any estimate or projection.
  • That a validator will avoid penalties or slashing.
  • That execution-layer rewards, consensus-layer rewards, priority fees or MEV rewards will be received.

Any reward calculator, annual percentage rate, estimated yield, historical performance figure or similar information displayed by Myrmidon Staking is indicative only and does not constitute a promise, warranty or guarantee of future performance.


Ethereum staking rewards may vary according to validator performance, total network participation, protocol issuance, transaction activity, MEV opportunities, network conditions, penalties, slashing, fees and other factors outside the control of Myrmidon Staking.


8. LIDO V3 stVAULT SERVICES

Myrmidon Staking may provide or facilitate pooled Ethereum staking through vaults, smart contracts or related infrastructure associated with Lido V3, including stVaults.


Lido, Lido V3, stVaults and any related smart contracts, governance systems, software, interfaces and protocols are third-party systems that are not owned, controlled or operated by Myrmidon Staking unless expressly stated otherwise.


When you deposit ETH or other digital assets into an stVault or use a related pooled staking service, your assets may be transferred to or controlled by one or more smart contracts. The operation of those smart contracts is governed by their code, configuration, governance processes and applicable protocol rules.


Myrmidon Staking does not guarantee that any stVault, smart contract or Lido-related service will:


  • Operate without interruption or error.
  • Remain available.
  • Remain compatible with Ethereum.
  • Produce any particular reward.
  • Permit withdrawal at any particular time.
  • Maintain any particular exchange rate or asset value.
  • Remain free from exploits, bugs or governance changes.

You acknowledge that use of an stVault may involve risks including smart contract vulnerabilities, oracle failures, governance actions, protocol upgrades, validator losses, slashing, delayed withdrawals, liquidity restrictions, depegging, incorrect accounting, access control failures and loss of all or part of the assets deposited.


Any vault share, receipt token, claim, accounting unit or other digital representation associated with an stVault may fluctuate in value and may not be redeemable for the amount originally deposited.


Myrmidon Staking is not responsible for the design, code, security, governance, maintenance or operation of Lido, Lido V3, stVault smart contracts or any other third-party protocol.


To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Myrmidon Staking shall not be responsible or liable for any loss of funds, loss of ETH, loss of rewards, smart contract loss, depegging, exploit, hack, protocol failure, governance action or inability to withdraw arising from or relating to the use of any stVault or Lido-related service.


Your use of an stVault may also be subject to separate terms, conditions, policies and risk disclosures published by Lido or other third parties. You are solely responsible for reviewing and accepting those terms before using the relevant protocol.


9. DELEGATED AND OTHER PROOF-OF-STAKE SERVICES

Myrmidon Staking may provide validator and delegation services for other Supported Blockchains.


Where a Supported Blockchain permits delegation, nomination, bonding, locking or a similar staking mechanism, you may choose to associate your digital assets with validators operated by Myrmidon Staking.


Unless expressly stated otherwise, delegation does not transfer ownership of your digital assets to Myrmidon Staking. Your rights, control and ability to transfer or withdraw those assets are governed by the relevant blockchain protocol.


Each Supported Blockchain may impose different requirements, unbonding periods, activation periods, reward rules, commission structures, slashing conditions, governance rights and technical limitations.


You are solely responsible for understanding the rules and risks of each Supported Blockchain before staking, delegating, nominating, bonding or otherwise using the Services.


Myrmidon Staking may participate in protocol governance, validator elections, consensus decisions or other network processes where permitted by the applicable Supported Blockchain. Myrmidon Staking may exercise such rights in its sole discretion unless otherwise agreed in writing.

You are responsible for ensuring that any personal data you transmit to or through the Services has been collected and processed lawfully.


33. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

Myrmidon Staking may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to the Services, Supported Blockchains, technology, business practices or applicable law.


Updated Terms may be published on the Website with a revised effective date. Unless otherwise stated, updated Terms take effect when published.

If you do not agree to an update, you must stop using the Services, subject to any outstanding payment obligations and applicable blockchain withdrawal, exit or unbonding restrictions.


34. GOVERNING LAW

These Terms, the Services and any dispute, claim or non-contractual obligation arising out of or relating to them shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Denmark, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.


The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is excluded.


Where you are a consumer, this choice of Danish law shall not deprive you of any protection that cannot be excluded by agreement under mandatory laws that would otherwise apply to you.


35. DISPUTES AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION

Before commencing formal legal proceedings, the parties shall use reasonable efforts to resolve any dispute through good-faith negotiations.


You must send written notice of any dispute to Myrmidon Staking and provide a reasonable description of the claim, the relevant facts and the requested resolution.


TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE WEBSITE OR THE SERVICES SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COMPETENT COURTS OF COPENHAGEN, DENMARK.


Each party irrevocably submits to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Copenhagen, Denmark, and waives any objection based on venue, forum or inconvenience, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.


To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all disputes, correspondence, submissions and court proceedings relating to these Terms shall be conducted in the Danish language.


Where mandatory consumer protection or jurisdiction law grants a consumer the right to bring or defend proceedings in another court, nothing in this section limits that mandatory right.


36. TIME LIMIT FOR CLAIMS

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any claim arising out of or relating to the Services must be brought within one (1) year after the event giving rise to the claim occurred.


Any claim not brought within that period shall be permanently barred. This section does not shorten any limitation period that cannot lawfully be shortened by agreement.

38. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law or modified only to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.


The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.


39. NO WAIVER

A failure or delay by Myrmidon Staking in exercising any right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver of that right or remedy.


A waiver is effective only if made expressly in writing by an authorized representative of Myrmidon Staking.


40. ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND ORDER OF PRECEDENCE

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any applicable written order form, service agreement or additional terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and Myrmidon Staking concerning the Services and supersede prior discussions, representations and agreements relating to the same subject matter.


If a separate written agreement signed by authorized representatives of both parties expressly conflicts with these Terms, the separate written agreement shall control to the extent of that conflict.


Terms contained in a purchase order, customer portal, email or other document supplied by you shall not modify these Terms unless expressly accepted in writing by an authorized representative of Myrmidon Staking.

Neither party has authority to bind the other except where expressly agreed in writing.
