1. About WavesFunnyNode

WavesFunnyNode was created to prove one simple thing: staking does not have to be boring.

We have been building on the Waves blockchain since 2018. We focus on transparency, open communication, and giving real power to stakers through WavesFunny Governance.

By WavesFunny Governance we mean that we allow community participation and decision-making around the node and service, but all participation is advisory. We retain the right to stop, deny, or override any governance decision at any time.

WavesFunnyNode is a non-custodial WAVES staking service, meaning your funds always stay under your control. We also offer flexible reward assets and configurable payout timing, because staking should adapt to you, not the other way around.

Our WavesFunny Strategy is a long-term approach to maximizing value through smart participation in the ecosystem, creativity, and community-driven decisions, without adding risk to stakers' rewards.

WavesFunnyVC supports promising projects inside the Waves ecosystem to increase innovation and visibility. This does not affect your staked funds or reward distributions.

5. Staking and Rewards

5.1. Non-Custodial Staking

You may stake WAVES to our node. The node operator does not have access to your staked funds. Unstaking is governed by protocol rules.

5.2. Payout Timing and Reward Rules

We may publish payout timing and reward distribution rules on the Website. These schedules and rules are indicative only and may change at any time.

We reserve the right to suspend, delay, reduce, or eliminate payouts or rewards, and to change, suspend, or discontinue payout schedules, reward rules, or calculations at any time, with or without notice, at our sole discretion.

Any internal schedules do not override blockchain conditions, protocol rules, or third-party system availability.

Blockchain confirmations, protocol delays, or third-party outages may affect when funds are visible on-chain. We are not responsible for such delays.

5.3. Reward Estimates

Any reward rates, examples, or estimates shown on the Website reflect our current calculation method and are indicative only. They are not a promise or guarantee of protocol outcomes.

We may change or discontinue estimates or formulas at any time, with or without notice. Changes apply prospectively.

5.4. Flexible Reward Assets

Where available, you may choose the assets in which you receive rewards. Availability may change without notice.

5.5. WavesFunny Strategy

We may employ strategic tactics to maximize long-term value. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue these tactics at any time at our sole discretion. These tactics use only WavesFunnyNode's own funds and do not add risk to staker rewards.

5.6. Additional Rewards

We may decide whether to distribute any additional rewards or benefits generated by the node. Such distribution is at our sole discretion and not guaranteed.

5.7. Preferential Rewards and Confidential Terms

We may offer preferential rewards, fee arrangements, or other special terms to certain users or partners. Such arrangements are discretionary, may be changed, suspended, or terminated at any time, and are not guaranteed to continue.

We are not required to disclose the existence, terms, or conditions of any preferential arrangements, and such terms may be confidential.

No user is entitled to equal treatment, most-favored terms, or the same rewards or fees offered to others.


6. Wallet Connections, Swaps, and Liquidity

6.1. Third-Party Wallet Connections

We may enable connections to third-party wallet providers or wallet-connection services ("Wallet Providers"). These providers are independent and governed by their own terms and policies.

We do not control Wallet Providers and are not responsible for their availability, security, performance, or any loss, downtime, or errors arising from their services. You assume all risks and we do not compensate for issues caused by Wallet Providers.

6.2. Swaps, Exchanges, Liquidity, and DeFi

We may integrate or route transactions through third-party exchanges, liquidity pools, aggregators, or DeFi services ("Third-Party Swap Services"). These services are not controlled by us.

We do not guarantee pricing, execution, or availability and are not responsible for failed swaps, liquidity issues, slippage, or losses. You assume all risks and we do not compensate for issues caused by Third-Party Swap Services.

6.3. Spread / Slippage Protection

Where available, we may display or offer optional spread or slippage protections (for example, 1% to 5%) to help you limit adverse price movement. These are indicative only and may not be available for all transactions or tokens.

Market conditions and third-party execution can cause actual prices to move beyond displayed or selected thresholds. We do not guarantee any specific execution price, spread, or slippage outcome.


7. Governance, Voting, and Listings

7.1. Protocol Changes and Voting

The Waves blockchain may undergo protocol upgrades and feature activations. We may allow governance input through WavesFunny Governance, community processes, or node owner decisions. Node participation may occur through governance. As a node operator, WavesFunnyNode may vote for or against features at our discretion, sometimes without prior discussion.

7.2. Governance Decisions

Governance input is advisory and does not create any duty, guarantee, or liability on our part. We do not assume responsibility or liability for the outcomes of any governance decisions, including technical, economic, or legal consequences.

7.3. Right to Deny or Override

We reserve the right to abstain from, deny, or override any governance decision, including forcing, delaying, or rejecting a vote, if we believe it conflicts with our rules, legal obligations, security requirements, ethics, or materially harms the node, stakers, or the service.

7.4. Token / Coin Listings

Token or coin listings may occur via governance processes or node owner decisions. We reserve the right to add, restrict, suspend, or remove any token or coin at any time, with or without notice.


8. Fees and Network Costs

We may apply or adjust fees from rewards at any time, including setting different fees for different users, arrangements, or special agreements. We may also change reward preferences, incentives, or distribution terms where applicable. Any changes may be shown on the Website and can be effective immediately or prospectively.

We are not obligated to disclose the existence or terms of preferential fee or reward arrangements, and such terms may be confidential.

Network fees (gas) are set by the blockchain and are not controlled by us.
