Terms of Service

1. What BRICKZ Is

BRICKZ Exchange ("BRICKZ", "we", "us") is a non-custodial smart-contract user interface. We do not hold, custody, transmit, or exchange assets on behalf of users. All transactions execute directly on the Bittensor EVM (Chain ID 964) via the on-chain Bittensor Staking Precompile (0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000805) and third-party AMM contracts. BRICKZ never takes possession of user keys, private credentials, or funds at any stage. Consistent with its non-custodial, non-KYC design, BRICKZ does not collect personal information about users or operators.

2. No Advisory Relationship

Nothing on this site constitutes financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Market data, subnet rankings, validator metrics, and fee comparisons are informational only and may be incomplete, delayed, or inaccurate. You are solely responsible for verifying all information before acting.

3. Eligibility & User Responsibility

BRICKZ is a public, non-custodial software interface. It does not impose jurisdictional restrictions and does not screen users by location, nationality, or residence. You alone are responsible for determining whether using a cryptocurrency interface is lawful where you are and whether interacting with Bittensor contracts is permitted under your local law. By connecting a wallet you confirm that (a) you are of the age of majority where you are located and (b) your use of the interface is lawful in your jurisdiction. If it is not, do not use the site.

4. Fees

BRICKZ charges a flat 0.5% routing fee on trades executed through the aggregator. The fee is collected on-chain by the fee wallet 0xc373c9572e088fd4ca8a2241e3ce9946c4745cad at the time of execution. Gas fees, validator commissions, AMM pool fees, and slippage are separate and not controlled by BRICKZ.

5. No Warranty

THE INTERFACE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. BRICKZ does not warrant that the interface will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that data will be accurate.

6. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BRICKZ AND ITS AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR TOKENS, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE INTERFACE. Aggregate liability for any claim shall not exceed the fees you paid to BRICKZ in the 30 days preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

7. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to: (a) use the interface for any purpose unlawful in your own jurisdiction; (b) interfere with, probe, or attempt to compromise the interface or its underlying infrastructure; (c) use automated systems to scrape or harvest data from the site.

8. Smart Contract Risk

Smart contracts, including those you interact with through BRICKZ, may contain bugs, logic errors, or vulnerabilities. Third-party AMM contracts and the Bittensor staking precompile are not audited or controlled by BRICKZ. You accept all smart-contract risk.

9. Governing Law

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration, administered by a mutually agreed neutral arbitrator, conducted in English. Each party bears its own costs. This clause does not override mandatory consumer protections available to you under the laws of your own jurisdiction.

10. Changes

We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the interface after a change constitutes acceptance. Material changes will be indicated by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

11. No Contact Channel

BRICKZ does not operate a contact channel. There is no support inbox, no complaints desk, and no route through which these Terms can be negotiated. The interface is published as-is; your use of it is your acceptance of it.

Privacy Policy

Summary

BRICKZ collects no personal data. We do not require accounts, KYC, email, name, phone, or any identifier. We do not use analytics cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party advertising. The interface is fully non-custodial: your private keys and funds stay in your own wallet.

What We Do See

• Wallet addresses you choose to connect (public, on-chain data only)
• IP address & basic request headers — logged transiently by our CDN provider (Cloudflare) for DDoS protection and abuse prevention. Retained up to 30 days.
• On-chain transaction data — all trades are publicly visible on the Bittensor EVM explorer. This is public information, not personal data collected by us.

What We Do NOT See

• Your private keys, seed phrase, or signing credentials
• Your wallet balance in other unrelated wallets
• Your identity, name, email, phone, address, tax ID, or any KYC information
• Your browsing history outside brickz.exchange

Cookies

We use only strictly-necessary cookies for interface state (theme preference, wallet connection session). We do not use analytics or advertising cookies. You may decline optional cookies at any time without loss of functionality.

Third Parties

Third-party APIs (Taostats, CoinGecko, Binance, Cloudflare) may receive your IP address when your browser loads their data. Review their privacy policies directly. We do not share data with these providers beyond what is technically required to load market data.

Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA / APP)

Because we do not collect personal data, data-subject rights do not apply in practice. BRICKZ does not operate a contact channel; there is no mailbox to write to and no record of you for us to hold.

Changes

Updates posted here. Continued use constitutes acceptance.

Risk Warning

Market Risk

TAO, alpha tokens, and subnet tokens can move 20–50% in a single day. Historical performance does not predict future returns. A subnet's market cap, emission share, or liquidity can fall to zero if the subnet is deprecated, its validators exit, or its economic model fails.

Liquidity Risk

Some subnet pools are thinly traded. Executing a large order may move the price significantly against you (slippage). Exits during high volatility may be delayed or fail.

Smart Contract Risk

You interact directly with on-chain contracts that are not audited or controlled by BRICKZ, including the Bittensor staking precompile and third-party subnet AMM contracts. Bittensor EVM itself is a relatively new execution layer and is considered experimental. Bugs, exploits, governance changes, validator misbehaviour, or protocol-level issues may result in permanent, irreversible loss of the funds you deploy. BRICKZ has no ability to pause, upgrade, rescue, or compensate for any of these outcomes.

Key & Phishing Risk

If you lose your seed phrase, your funds are gone forever. No one — not BRICKZ, not Bittensor, not law enforcement — can recover them. Verify brickz.exchange in the address bar before connecting. We never DM, email, or call you. We never ask for your seed phrase.

Regulatory Risk

Cryptocurrency regulation is evolving globally. Future laws may restrict, tax, or prohibit activities you currently perform through BRICKZ. You are responsible for your own tax reporting and compliance.

Irreversibility

Once a transaction is confirmed on the Bittensor blockchain, it cannot be reversed, cancelled, or modified by BRICKZ, the validators, or any authority. Double-check all destination addresses and amounts before signing.

Not Financial Advice

Nothing on BRICKZ is personal financial advice. Consult a licensed financial adviser in your jurisdiction before making investment decisions.

About BRICKZ

What We Are

BRICKZ is a non-custodial smart-contract interface. We do not hold, custody, transmit, or exchange assets. Every trade executes directly on the Bittensor EVM (Chain ID 964) through the Bittensor staking precompile and third-party AMM contracts. Your keys, your coins — always.

Why BRICKZ

• 0.5% flat routing fee — significantly lower than centralised exchange spreads
• Every active Bittensor subnet AMM pool scanned for best available liquidity on every trade
• No KYC, no account, no signup — connect a wallet and trade
• Fully on-chain — every action is verifiable on the Bittensor EVM explorer
• Cash-out guides via Wise, Kraken, MEXC and Gate.io for the fiat currency of your choice

Who We Are

BRICKZ was built by long-term Bittensor participants who wanted a cleaner, cheaper, privacy-preserving on/off-ramp for the ecosystem. The interface is non-custodial and non-KYC by design — the same principles apply to the people who built it.

Security posture

The BRICKZ front-end ships with a strict Content-Security-Policy, a Permissions-Policy that denies camera / microphone / geolocation / payment / USB, frame-ancestors 'none' anti-clickjacking, upgrade-insecure-requests, HTTPS-only delivery via Cloudflare with DDoS protection, a runtime observer that detects and removes suspicious injected overlays, basic input validation on wallet-address fields, and integrates only with official wallet SDKs (MetaMask, SubWallet, Polkadot.js). The front-end code is served from Cloudflare; all trades execute against on-chain Bittensor contracts that are not written or audited by BRICKZ — see the Risk Warning.

Contact

BRICKZ does not operate a contact channel. There is no support inbox, no complaints desk, and no way to reach the maintainers. The interface is published as-is; you either use it or you don't.

Legal

Nature of the Interface

BRICKZ is a non-custodial smart-contract UI. Consistent with its non-KYC design, it does not identify or disclose the individuals who maintain it. The fee wallet and all execution contracts are publicly auditable on the Bittensor EVM explorer; the interface itself is front-end software that you the user run in your own browser when you visit the site.

Regulatory Status

BRICKZ does not take custody of user funds, does not execute matched orders on an order book, does not operate as a money transmitter, and does not accept fiat deposits or withdrawals. The interface is a software front-end to public smart contracts.

User Responsibility

BRICKZ does not impose jurisdictional restrictions. Whether interacting with a cryptocurrency interface is lawful in your location is entirely your responsibility to determine before you use the site.

Fees

Total Cost to Cash Out

Full stack for TAO → bank wire:

• BRICKZ routing: 0.5%
• On-chain gas: ~$0.10–$2
• CEX spread (MEXC, Gate.io): 0.1–0.2%
• Bank wire (Wise): ~0.41% FX + ~$3 flat
• Typical total: ~1.5% from TAO to bank

Where the Fee Goes

The 0.5% routing fee is collected on-chain by the fee wallet 0xc373c9572e088fd4ca8a2241e3ce9946c4745cad. It funds infrastructure (Cloudflare, domains, monitoring), development, legal, and team. No tokens, no pre-mine, no investors.

No Hidden Fees

We do not earn spread. We do not earn order-flow kickbacks. We do not run an internal market maker. What you see is what you pay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Non-Custodial TAO Exchange

How a Non-Custodial Trade Works

1. Connect wallet. SubWallet, MetaMask, or Polkadot.js on Bittensor EVM (Chain 964).
2. Browser computes route. JavaScript on your device scans every active Bittensor subnet AMM pool for the best available liquidity.
3. You sign locally. Your wallet shows the transaction; you review and approve.
4. Direct broadcast. Signed tx goes straight to the Bittensor EVM precompile — BRICKZ servers are never in the signing path.
5. Atomic settlement. Validators execute at the next block. Fully settles at quote or reverts. No MEV, no sandwich attacks by BRICKZ possible.

Sell TAO — Low-Total-Cost Route to Fiat

Two Ways to Sell TAO

FAQ

Stake TAO into Bittensor Subnets

How TAO Staking Works

1. Choose a subnet. Every active Bittensor subnet has its own alpha token, validator set, and yield profile. Browse them on the Subnets page.
2. Delegate to a validator. Validators run the compute; nominators (you) delegate TAO and share rewards. Browse them on the Validators page.
3. Sign the stake transaction. Your wallet (SubWallet/MetaMask/Polkadot.js) signs a call to the Bittensor staking precompile.
4. Earn rewards. Emissions accrue continuously, proportional to your stake and validator performance.
5. Unstake anytime. No custodial lock. Unstake subject to the Bittensor protocol's own rules (no BRICKZ-imposed lock).

Why Non-Custodial Staking Matters

• Your keys control your stake. Unlike CEX "staking products" where the exchange holds your tokens, your stake stays tied to your wallet. The exchange can't halt withdrawals, can't rehypothecate your TAO, can't go bankrupt with your funds.
• Direct on-chain rewards. Rewards accrue to your address on-chain, not to an exchange ledger.
• Freedom to switch validators. Change validators any time without moving custody.

Risks to Understand

• Alpha token prices can drop. Subnet emissions are paid in alpha, which trades on AMMs and is volatile.
• Validator performance affects rewards — choose reputable validators (see Validators).
• Subnets can be deprecated. A dying subnet's alpha may lose most of its value.
• Smart-contract risk: the staking precompile itself is the authoritative contract; interacting with it is interacting with the Bittensor runtime.

FAQ

Low-Total-Cost Way to Sell TAO for Fiat

Why Advertised Fees Lie

"0.1% fee" on a centralised exchange isn't what you actually pay. The real cost stack looks like this:

• Spread. The gap between buy and sell price. CEXs bury 0.2–0.5% here.
• Trading fee. The advertised number (0.1–0.6%).
• Withdrawal fee. Crypto withdrawal: $5–$25. Fiat wire: $15–$35.
• FX markup. Banks and some CEXs mark up the exchange rate 1–3% vs mid-market.
• Slippage. On thin TAO pairs, large orders move the price against you.

Add those together and 0.1% advertised often becomes 2.6% actual.
