Terms of Use
Last updated 9 September 2026 · Read section 20 before you trade. It is the part that costs money to skip.
Gazua is software, not a broker. Nobody at Gazua holds your assets, executes your trades, or can undo them. Tokens launched here are created by their creators, not by us, and we do not vouch for any of them. You can lose everything you put in.
1. Agreement
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are an agreement between you and the people operating gazua.xyz (“Gazua”, “we”, “us”) covering the Gazua website, the interface it serves, and the APIs and documentation published alongside them (together, the “Interface”). By using the Interface you accept them. If you do not, do not use it.
They do not govern the smart contracts themselves. Those are deployed on the GIWA blockchain and run for anyone who calls them, with or without us, and with or without this agreement.
2. What Gazua is
Gazua is a launchpad for tokens on GIWA. A creator deploys a token, the public buys it from a bonding curve, and once enough of the supply has sold the launch graduates into a Uniswap v4 pool. The Interface is a way of reading that activity and building transactions against it. Every transaction is signed by you and settled by the network.
The launchpad is non-custodial. We never take possession of your tokens, your pairing assets, or your keys, and we hold no balance on your behalf. We are not a bank, broker, dealer, exchange, market maker, investment adviser, or money transmitter, and nothing we publish is financial, investment, legal, or tax advice.
The bridge is the exception, and it is the only one. Bridging a stock to GIWA means we hold the Robinhood Chain asset in a vault we control while the GIWA token exists, and redeeming it means we release that asset back. Clause 10 sets out what that does and does not entitle you to.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 and legally able to enter this agreement. You must not be a resident of, located in, or acting on behalf of anyone in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, the United States, Canada, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and you must not be subject to sanctions administered by the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, or the United Nations.
You must also not be a citizen of the United States, Canada, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, wherever you live. You are responsible for whether using the Interface is lawful where you are; that it loads is not an opinion that it is.
We may block access from any jurisdiction at any time, including one we served yesterday.
4. Wallets and signing
You interact through a wallet. That is either one you already have, connected in your browser, or an embedded wallet created for you when you sign in with X or GitHub through Privy, our wallet provider. Either way the wallet is yours and the keys are not ours: we cannot move your funds, reverse a transaction, freeze an address, or recover an account.
Read what you sign. A signature can approve spending, authorise a withdrawal, or bind a transaction to terms — and once broadcast it cannot be recalled. Losing access to a wallet, or to the social account behind an embedded one, means losing whatever it held.
5. Launching a token
If you launch, you decide the name, ticker, artwork, description, links, pairing asset, fee mode, tax rates, and how the launch’s fees are split. You are solely responsible for all of it — for whether the token is lawful where you and your buyers are, for whether you may use the name and artwork, and for anything you say about it.
Most of it cannot be changed afterwards. The token contract, its total supply of 1,000,000,000, its fee mode, its buy and sell rates, its pairing asset and its curve are fixed when the launch transaction confirms. There is no upgrade path, no admin key on the token, and no way for us to alter a launch that is already open. What can be edited later is the descriptive metadata — artwork, description, links — and who the fees are paid to.
Launching is not an offer by us, an endorsement by us, or a listing decision by us. Anyone may launch anything the contracts accept.
6. Fee Sharing, and paying people who are not addresses
A launch splits its creator-side fee across up to ten recipients that together take 100%. A recipient is a wallet address, a social handle on X or GitHub, the burn slot, or the dividend slot.
A social handle is not an address, so the protocol derives one from the handle itself and pays that. The money accrues there from the first trade whether or not the person behind the handle has ever heard of Gazua. They collect it by signing in with that account, at which point we attest the ownership once and the contract remembers it.
Two consequences worth being clear about. A handle you type wrong is money you cannot get back — it accrues to whoever owns the handle you actually typed. The address is derived from the handle, not from the person, so if a handle is renamed, sold, or taken over, what accrues there follows the handle.
7. Fee admin, and community takeover
Each launch has a fee admin — the creator, at first — who may change the split and hand the seat to somebody else. A voluntary handover takes effect immediately.
There is also a recovery route for a launch whose creator has vanished or lost their wallet: we may propose a new fee admin, the proposal is public from the moment it is made, nothing happens for three days, and then anyone may carry it out during the three days after that. The delay exists so that holders learn about a change before it takes effect. Deliberately, the current admin acting during the wait does not cancel it — otherwise whoever had stolen a creator’s wallet could cancel the recovery proposed because it was stolen.
This means the destination of a launch’s future fees can change without your consent and, if you are the creator, without your agreement. It never reaches funds already credited to a recipient; those belong to the recipient and not to the configuration.
8. Trading on the curve
Before graduation a launch trades only against its bonding curve. Price is a function of how much supply has been sold, computed by the same arithmetic that quotes you, so what the screen shows is what the trade does. Fees are taken in the pairing asset on both sides.
Two behaviours are worth knowing before your first trade. In the launch’s opening seconds a decaying sniper tax makes buying very expensive — it starts near the whole of the amount and falls to the launch’s ordinary rate within seconds, and what it takes goes to the launch’s own fee recipients. And a buy that would take the curve past its graduation point fills only up to that point; the rest of your pairing asset is returned in the same transaction. A partial fill there is not a slippage refund and there is no other kind.
9. Graduation and pool trading
When 80% of supply has sold, the launch graduates: a Uniswap v4 pool is opened at the price the curve ended on and seeded with the remaining supply and everything the curve raised.
That liquidity is permanently locked. It is added by a contract that has no withdrawal function anywhere in it, which means nobody can remove it — not the creator, not a holder, and not us. Locked liquidity is not a promise that a token holds its price; it means the pool cannot be pulled out from under it.
After graduation, quotes are estimates. Curve pricing is exact because the curve is the only counterparty; a pool’s is not, because what you receive depends on the liquidity your order passes through and on whatever else is included before it. Your protection is the minimum-received figure carried in the transaction: if the swap cannot deliver it, the whole thing reverts rather than filling at a worse price.
10. Bridging stocks to GIWA
Gazua Bridge — real assets, vault-backed 1:1. Gazua Bridge is an independent, vault-backed bridge operated by Gazua. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Robinhood Markets, Robinhood Chain, GIWA, Uniswap, or any issuer of the underlying assets, and none of them has reviewed or approved this service.
Tokens minted on GIWA are claims against the matching Robinhood Chain assets held in the Gazua vault. They are not shares of stock, not securities issued by us, and carry no shareholder rights — no voting, no dividends, no claim on the assets of any company. The price of a bridged token on GIWA is set by whoever trades it and may differ from the value of the underlying asset.
This is not a trustless or decentralised bridge. Minting, redemption and the vault are controlled by wallets the team operates, and using this bridge means trusting Gazua to honour redemptions 1:1. Redemption further depends on the underlying Robinhood Chain tokens, whose issuer may pause, restrict, freeze, upgrade or discontinue them at any time, and on the continued operation of both chains. Redemptions may be delayed, queued, limited or suspended, and per-asset limits apply.
A protocol fee applies in each direction and is shown before you confirm. Blockchain transactions are irreversible: an amount sent to a wrong address cannot be recovered by us.
Digital assets are risky and can lose all of their value. Nothing here is investment, legal or tax advice, or an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security. Gazua is not a broker-dealer, exchange, investment adviser, or licensed or regulated financial institution of any kind. This service is not available to persons or entities in jurisdictions where it would be unlawful; by using it you represent that you are permitted to do so and are responsible for your own compliance and taxes. We may change, suspend or discontinue the bridge at any time.
11. Dividends
A launch may route part of its fee to its holders. Anyone holding at least 10,000 of that token earns a share proportional to their balance, credited as balances change and withdrawn when they choose. Contracts and pools that hold supply on behalf of other people do not earn, and neither does the burn address.
A dividend is a share of trading fees that a creator chose to route, for as long as they route it and as long as there is trading. It is not interest, a yield, a distribution of profits, or a promise of any return. Fall below the threshold and you stop accruing from that point; what you had already accrued stays yours.
12. Burn
A launch may route part of its fee to burning. That is a purchase and a destruction, not an accounting entry: the fee buys supply inside the same trade and sends it to an address nobody holds the key to. Burning reduces supply. It does not create demand and does not support a price.
13. Referrals
You can share a link carrying your address and earn a share of trades made by people who arrive on it. That share comes out of the protocol’s own cut, not on top of it, so a referred trader pays exactly what an unreferred one pays. A trader is bound to at most one referrer per launch, permanently, and only before they have traded it.
Referral earnings can be withheld or reversed where the referrals are self-dealt, automated at scale, or obtained by spam or misrepresentation.
14. Fees, gas and taxes
The protocol takes 0.5% of every trade. On a standard launch the creator takes another 0.5%; on a tax launch the creator sets their own rate — up to 10% on either side, with a floor of 0.5% on sells — and that rate is fixed at launch. A launch may also carry a flat creation fee in its pairing asset. Each launch records the protocol’s rate as it stood when it opened, so a later change reaches new launches only and never the terms you traded on.
Gas on GIWA is paid in ETH. Keep some aside: a wallet holding nothing but the token it just bought cannot sell it.
Taxes are yours. We do not withhold, report, or calculate them, and we give no tax advice.
15. Sponsored withdrawals
Somebody paid through a social handle may hold no gas at all, so we offer to pay it and take the cost out of the amount withdrawn. That needs your signature naming a ceiling on what may be taken, and the contract will not let more than the ceiling go to whoever paid, whatever they ask for. Anyone may also pay the gas for somebody else’s withdrawal without taking anything, in which case the funds go to the owner regardless of who sent the transaction.
We do not undertake to sponsor any particular withdrawal, and the offer can be withdrawn or priced differently at any time.
16. Acceptable use
You must not use the Interface to:
- break the law, or help anybody else break it;
- launder money, finance terrorism, evade sanctions, or move the proceeds of crime;
- defraud or mislead — including impersonating a person, project or brand, or claiming a launch is affiliated with someone it is not;
- manipulate a market: wash trading, spoofing, coordinated pump-and-dump schemes, or insider dealing;
- publish anything unlawful, infringing, malicious, hateful, or sexually exploitative in a launch’s name, ticker, artwork, description or links;
- attack the service — scraping past the published rate limits, denial of service, exploiting the interface or the contracts, or probing them without authorisation;
- farm referrals, dividends, or sponsored gas through automation, multiple identities, or any scheme whose point is to extract subsidies rather than to trade.
Report a security issue to support@gazua.xyz rather than exploiting it.
17. Material interests and conflicts
We may launch tokens, hold them, trade them, be a fee recipient on them, and run the bots that settle fees and burns. We owe you no fiduciary duty and no duty to disclose a position. Nothing you see in the Interface — an ordering, a badge, a trending tab — is a recommendation.
18. What we show, and what we may stop showing
We curate the Interface. We may hide or de-rank a launch, refuse artwork, remove metadata, limit which pairing assets a new launch may pick, rate-limit an address, or restrict access to some or all of the Interface, with or without notice.
None of that reaches the chain. A launch we stop showing still exists, still trades, and still pays its recipients. Hiding something is not removing it, and appearing here is not approval of it.
19. Third parties
The Interface depends on things we do not run: the GIWA network, Uniswap v4, Privy for social sign-in and embedded wallets, IPFS pinning for artwork, RPC providers, and X and GitHub for handle lookups. Each has its own terms and its own failure modes, and an outage, a change, or a restriction at any of them can stop parts of the product working or reaching your funds. We are not responsible for them.
A pairing asset is a third-party token. Some can be paused, frozen, or made non-transferable by their issuer. If that happens to the asset a launch is paired with, trading, fees, dividends and graduation for that launch may all stop, and we cannot fix it.
20. No warranties
The Interface is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from a course of dealing. We do not warrant that the Interface will be uninterrupted, timely, accurate, or error-free, that the data it shows matches the chain at any instant, or that any defect will be fixed.
The contracts have not completed an independent security audit. Read that sentence again before deciding what to risk.
21. Risks you accept
By using the Interface you accept, among other things, that:
- You can lose everything. Tokens launched here are volatile, frequently worthless, and often abandoned by their creators. Most launches end at or near zero.
- Nothing is reversible. A signed transaction cannot be recalled, an address typed wrong cannot be corrected, and a token sent to the wrong place is gone.
- Code can fail. Smart contracts can contain bugs, including ours and including Uniswap’s. An exploit can drain funds permanently.
- The chain can fail. Congestion, reorganisation, an outage, a halt or a change in GIWA’s rules can delay, revert, or strand a transaction.
- Prices displayed are readings, not guarantees. Market caps, other values, and pool quotes come from indexed data and third-party price sources, and can be stale or wrong.
- Front-running exists. A pending transaction is public, and yours may be preceded by somebody else’s.
- Creators can be adversaries. They set a tax up to 10% per side, hold a large opening position, and control where fees go until the seat moves.
- Regulation can change. A token or a mechanism that is lawful today may not be tomorrow, and access can end abruptly as a result.
Do your own research on every launch, including reading its contract and its fee configuration on chain, and never commit money you cannot afford to lose.
22. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, neither we nor our officers, employees or contractors are liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, nor for lost profits, lost trading opportunities, lost tokens, or loss of data, arising out of your use of the Interface — whatever the theory of liability and even if we were told the loss was possible.
Our total liability for all claims relating to the Interface is capped at the greater of the fees you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose, or 100 USD.
Some jurisdictions do not allow parts of this. Where that is so, this section applies as far as it can and no further.
23. Indemnity
You will indemnify and hold us harmless against claims, losses and costs — including reasonable legal fees — arising from your use of the Interface, anything you launch or publish through it, your breach of these Terms, your infringement of anybody’s rights, and your taxes.
24. Intellectual property and your content
The Interface, its design, and the Gazua name and marks are ours or our licensors’. You get a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Interface as it is meant to be used, and nothing more; you may not copy the branding, or scrape, frame or resell the Interface. Our contracts are published under their own open-source licences, which govern the code itself.
Content you submit — a name, ticker, description, artwork, links — stays yours. By submitting it you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, display and distribute it for the purpose of operating and promoting the Interface, and you confirm you have the right to grant that. We may refuse or remove any of it.
25. Feedback
If you send us an idea or a suggestion, we may use it for anything, without compensation or attribution, and you agree that we may.
26. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or end your access to the Interface at any time, for any reason, including suspected fraud, sanctions exposure, abuse, or legal risk. You may stop using it at any time. Sections 16 and 19 through 24 survive.
Ending your access to the Interface does not affect anything on chain. Your wallet, your tokens, your accrued fees and your dividends remain yours and can be reached by any other client that speaks to the same contracts.
27. Governing law and disputes
Being straight with you: Gazua does not yet operate through a named legal entity, and no governing jurisdiction has been settled. We are not going to name one we do not have. When an operating entity is established, its name, its country, and the governing law will be stated here.
Until then, these Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Gazua operators are established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and any dispute would be brought in the courts of that jurisdiction. Mandatory consumer protection rules in the country where you live continue to apply to you whatever this section says.
Disputes are brought individually — you and we each waive any right to bring or take part in a class or representative action.
Before starting formal proceedings, write to support@gazua.xyz setting out the dispute, and give us 30 days to resolve it.
28. Changes
We may change these Terms. The date at the top says when they last changed; a material change will be surfaced in the Interface. Continuing to use it after a change is acceptance of it. If you do not accept a change, stop using the Interface.
29. General
These Terms, with any notices published in the Interface, are the whole agreement between us about it. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest still stands. Our not enforcing something is not a waiver of it. You may not assign this agreement; we may, on a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. Nothing here creates a partnership, agency, or employment relationship.
