Terms of Use

Last updated 8 November 2026

These terms cover the services run by Kynraze Validator (“Kynraze”, “we”): this website at kynraze.com and its guides, tools and public data; our validator nodes; and Kynraze Explorer, our block explorer for Cosmos networks (together, “the services”). By using any of them you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the services.

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to stake with us, connect a wallet or sign a transaction through our services. You are responsible for making sure that using the services and holding or staking tokens is legal where you are.

What we offer

  • Validator nodes. We run validators on the networks listed on this website. You can delegate (stake) tokens to them.
  • Guides and tools. Node setup guides, commands, upgrade notes, peers, snapshots, staking calculators, endpoint status and network statistics, plus a faucet on some testnets.
  • Kynraze Explorer. A free, public block explorer that shows blockchain data and lets you stake, vote and send transactions with your own wallet.

None of the services run a blockchain. We cannot change, reverse or cancel anything that happens on one.

Staking with Kynraze

Staking is non-custodial. Your tokens stay in your wallet's account on the network, and only you can delegate, redelegate or undelegate them. Kynraze never holds your funds or your keys.

  • Rewardsare created and paid by each network's own rules, not by Kynraze. They change with the network's inflation, the amount staked and other on-chain factors, and they are never guaranteed.
  • Commission. We take a commission on rewards, set on-chain and visible to everyone. We can change it within the limits the network allows. We aim to announce changes in advance on our social channels, but we are not required to.
  • Slashing. We operate our nodes with monitoring and care, but a network can slash a validator for downtime or double signing, which takes part of the stake delegated to it, including yours. Hardware faults, software bugs or network problems can cause this despite our efforts.
  • Unbonding.Undelegated tokens stay locked for the network's unbonding period and earn no rewards during it.

Guides, commands and public data

Our guides and commands are written for experienced node operators. Read them before you run them, adapt them to your own setup, and keep backups of your keys. You run them at your own risk; we are not responsible for lost keys, misconfigured nodes or slashing on your own validator.

Snapshots, peers, endpoint lists and network statistics are provided on a best-effort basis. They can be out of date or unavailable, and we can change or withdraw them at any time. Testnet faucet tokens have no value and may be limited.

Kynraze Explorer

Data can be late, incomplete or wrong

The explorer reads public data from network nodes and from our own indexer. Those sources can fall behind, go down or return errors. Some figures are calculated rather than read directly, including APR, estimated rewards, previews of a stake and next-epoch projections. They are estimates based on the chain's state at the time and change whenever the chain does. Check anything important against the chain itself before acting on it.

Wallets and transactions

The explorer is non-custodial and cannot move tokens on its own. When you connect a wallet (Keplr, Adena, Ledger or another supported wallet), the explorer prepares a transaction and shows it to you. Your wallet asks you to approve it, and only your approval sends it to the network. Review every transaction in your wallet before you sign. Signed transactions are final, and fees are paid to the network, not to Kynraze.

Some actions carry their own risks:

  • Minting PHOTON (AtomOne). The rate comes from the chain when your transaction is processed, not from the explorer. The amount you receive can differ from the preview, especially for large amounts.
  • Authorizations (authz) for restaking. A grant lets another address perform the actions you allowed on your behalf until it expires or you revoke it. Grant only what you understand, and revoke grants you no longer use.
  • Governance.Votes and governor delegations are recorded on-chain. On AtomOne, delegating to a governor means that governor's vote counts for your stake unless you vote yourself.

Not financial advice

Nothing in the services is financial, investment, tax or legal advice. Validator rankings, statistics, calculators, previews and planners help you compare; they are not recommendations. You are responsible for your own decisions, including which validators you delegate to. Networks can halt, upgrade or change their rules, and token prices can move sharply. None of this is under our control.

Your responsibilities

You are responsible for the security of your wallet, keys and devices, for any taxes on your tokens and rewards, and for following the laws that apply to you. Do not use the services to break the law, and do not attempt to disrupt them or the infrastructure they rely on, for example by attacking or overloading our servers, abusing the faucet or scraping beyond normal use. Do not spread false claims about Kynraze or our services.

Third-party content and links

Validator names, logos, descriptions, token metadata, proposal texts and links come from the networks and from public registries. We do not check them and are not responsible for them or for the sites they link to. Other websites have their own terms and privacy policies.

Our name and logo

The Kynraze name, logo, this website and the explorer's design belong to Kynraze. The logo kit sets out how the logo may be used; anything beyond that needs our permission. Names and logos of networks, validators and tokens belong to their owners.

Availability

We can change, pause or stop any of the services, or any part of them, at any time and without notice. Pages and tools can be slow or unavailable when the endpoints behind them are.

No warranty, limited liability

The services are provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind. To the extent the law allows, Kynraze is not liable for any loss arising from your use of the services, including losses from slashing, missed or reduced rewards, unbonding periods, halted networks, inaccurate data, downtime, or transactions you sign.

Changes

These terms can change; the date above shows the latest version. Using the services after a change means you accept the new terms.
