Legal Boundary & Terms of Use

TokaiProof is a provenance and timestamping tool. It generates cryptographic hashes, collects wallet signatures, and optionally anchors proof metadata to the Solana blockchain via a Memo transaction.

TokaiProof creates a public registry record linking a Solana wallet address to specific asset metadata at a specific time. This record serves as evidence of attestation — specifically, that a wallet submitted this metadata at this timestamp.

TokaiProof is not copyright registration. It does not constitute a filing with the U.S. Copyright Office or any equivalent agency in any jurisdiction. It does not create, establish, or protect any copyright interest. Copyright protection under U.S. law (17 U.S.C.) and international copyright treaties (Berne Convention) requires separate formal registration or arises automatically upon creation — TokaiProof does not affect either.

TokaiProof is not trademark registration. It does not constitute a filing with the USPTO, EUIPO, or any trademark authority. It does not create trademark rights, priority claims, or legal protections for brand names, logos, slogans, or mascots. Trademark rights arise from use in commerce and formal registration processes that are entirely separate from this platform.

TokaiProof does not prove, establish, or guarantee legal ownership of any asset, intellectual property, or creative work. A TokaiProof registry record is evidence that a wallet attested to specific metadata at a specific time. It is not a deed, title, certificate of ownership, or assignment of rights. It does not prevent third parties from claiming rights to the same or similar assets through other legal means.

The TokaiProof creation process requires signing a standardized message with a Solana wallet. This signature cryptographically links the wallet address to the proof metadata at submission time. The signed message and signature are stored in the public registry.

Wallet signature verification is based on the wallet holder's cooperation. If a wallet is compromised or access is lost, the attestation value of the proof is limited. TokaiProof does not verify identity, legal personhood, or employment status of the wallet holder.

Creators may optionally anchor a compact representation of their proof metadata to the Solana blockchain via a Memo program transaction. This creates an immutable, timestamped block-level record of the proof hashes. Memo transactions are public, permanent, and verifiable on Solscan. The platform does not guarantee Memo transaction success or the continued accessibility of Solana RPC infrastructure. Solana network fees apply.

Verified TokaiProof records are publicly displayed in the registry. The following fields are publicly visible: proof type, asset title, asset description, creator wallet address, token CA, asset hash, metadata hash, nonce, timestamps, wallet signature, Memo transaction hash (if anchored), IPFS/Arweave URIs (if provided), and public notes. By submitting a proof, you consent to the public display of these fields. Do not include private, sensitive, confidential, or personally identifying information in any public field.

TokaiProof stores and publicly displays the creator's Solana wallet address. Wallet addresses are pseudonymous but publicly traceable. Do not use TokaiProof to register assets containing personal data, private credentials, unreleased confidential materials, seed phrases, private keys, or legal documents. The platform is not responsible for any information you choose to include in public fields.

Creators are solely responsible for: (a) ensuring they have the right to register the submitted asset; (b) pursuing appropriate formal legal protections (copyright, trademark, etc.) if desired; (c) the accuracy of submitted metadata; (d) compliance with applicable laws in their jurisdiction.

TokaiProof does not verify that a creator has any legal right to the asset they are registering. Submitting a false or fraudulent proof does not create rights and may be contested by legitimate rights holders.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, TokaiPulse, KETCTO, and associated contributors are not liable for: any IP disputes arising from proof records; loss of proof records due to infrastructure changes; reliance on a TokaiProof record as evidence in any legal proceeding; or any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. TokaiProof is provided as-is with no warranty of fitness for any particular legal purpose. Use at your own risk.

[Governing law jurisdiction to be specified before first paid production campaign.] These terms are subject to revision. Continued use of the platform after updates constitutes acceptance of revised terms.
