3. zk.money
The Services may provide you with access to certain functionalities including the use of oxide and zk.money (collectively “zk.money”). zk.money is a non-custodial, permissionless software infrastructure that users can use to enable digital transactions, including stablecoins such as DAI, cryptocurrencies, tokens, and other blockchain-based assets (collectively, “Digital Assets”).
Key Infrastructure Components
Oxide Protocol. Oxide is a protocol that runs "alongside" the Aztec Network that provides an independent layer of security against vulnerabilities in the Aztec Network's proving system. It requires that users simulate the Aztec Network transaction they intend to perform, such as a transfer within the Aztec Network or a withdrawal to Ethereum, and send the results of that simulation to an AWS Nitro Enclave which returns a signature attesting to the validity of the operation If the Aztec Network suffers a liveness failure and the underlying portal is frozen, users can exit directly to the Ethereum portal. Anyone can run an enclave. See https://github.com/aztec-labs-eng/oxide/blob/main/DESIGN.md for a technical description of the Oxide protocol. Oxide is composed of the following key components:
- Oxide Enclaves. verify transaction inputs and outputs against the Aztec state as a second-factor of authorization. Oxide Enclaves never receive users’ signing keys.
- Provers. Provers are generic provers of Aztec blocks.
zk.money Protocol. zk.money is a non-custodial private Digital Asset protocol that runs on top of Oxide. zk.money is composed of the following key components:
- ENS Handles. Users may set up ENS handles through oxide, which includes setting up an ENS CCIP subdomain.
- Segregated Incoming Payment Address (“SIPA”) Resolver. Notifies the user and relayers when a payment arrives. The Resolver never holds funds and cannot redirect users’ transactions.
- Credentials. Users’ credentials may be setup through an authenticator that supports pseudo-random function (“PRF”), including, but not limited to, Passkey, Apple’s native implementation, and 1Password.
- Links. Users have the ability to send Digital Assets through links using recipients’ smart contract addresses or ENS handles (the “Links”). Recipients may claim sent Digital Assets by proving ownership of that identifier. Users will also be able to send links that may be claimable by anyone with the link and also use links to receive Digital Assets. Obsidion does not custody Digital Assets or control Links’ intended recipient.
- Requests. A user may request that a certain amount of Digital Assets be paid. These requests are sent to a contract via XMTP or as a shareable link.
For further information on zk.money, please refer to https://docs.zk.money/ (“zk.money docs”). In case of any inconsistencies between zk.money as described in these Terms or zk.money docs, the zk.money docs shall prevail at all times.
Key Features of zk.money
Non-custodial. zk.money is non-custodial and self-directed. Obsidion Labs does not custody or control users’ Digital Assets, nor does it have access to or hold private keys. We are not a counterparty to transactions that are conducted through zk.money. We cannot access, transfer, recover, reverse, or freeze your Digital Assets on your behalf. You are solely responsible for correctly identifying intended recipients of your Digital Assets.
Non-controlling.
- zk.money smart contracts are not upgradeable at the discretion of Obsidion Labs, or any other party. Where any upgrade mechanism exists, it: (a) is limited to security patches, bug fixes, and infrastructure enhancements; (b) requires multisig authorization and cannot be exercised unilaterally by any single party; and (c) does not give any party the ability to access, freeze, seize, or redirect user funds.
- zk.money functions solely as infrastructure. Obsidion Labs is not a party to, or required to execute or facilitate, any transfer between users; transfers occur directly between users through the operation of software.
- Relayer functionality, where used, may be operated by independent third parties, including users themselves. Obsidion Labs does not operate a relayer, control relayer selection, or profit from relayer activity.
Transaction Limits. Transactions conducted through immutable smart contracts and associated with zk.money may be subject to limits on transaction volume, value, and frequency (the “Transaction Limits”). The per-transaction Transaction Limits on deposits, transfers, and withdrawals are capped at two thousand five hundred dollars (US$2,500) per transaction. Daily Transaction Limits for aggregate deposits are capped at fifty thousand dollars (US$50,000) per day. These transaction limits are coded into the zk.money smart contracts and are not changeable.

6. Acknowledgement and Assumption of Risk
Blockchains and their attendant technologies involved in using any Services are novel, technologically complex, and involve inherent risk, protocol upgrades and other technological mechanisms may contain bugs or security vulnerabilities that may result in loss of functionality and ultimately of funds, and the Services involve technological innovations such that the results of usage of or interaction with them depend on factors beyond our control, including but not limited to network health, congestion, latency, incentives, user configuration settings, operation of third party software or hardware, wallet or account compatibility, protocol upgrades or forks, the activities of searchers, block builders and others. You acknowledge and agree that there are risks associated with using the Services. You should also familiarize yourself with the risks involved with transacting on blockchain networks, including but not limited to smart contract vulnerabilities, front end vulnerabilities, hacks, phishing attacks, social engineering attacks, risks of losing access to Digital Assets due to loss of private keys, Digital Asset volatility, and transaction irreversibility. You understand that like any other software, the Services could be at risk of third-party malware, hacks or cybersecurity breaches. You agree that it is your responsibility to monitor your Digital Assets, Wallet, and account regularly and confirm their proper use and deployment consistent with your intentions. We do not and cannot guarantee the security, performance, or reliability of the protocol, or any associated blockchain networks, protocols or tools. We do not authorize, control, or endorse the purchase or sale of Digital Assets and are not liable to you for any losses that you may incur in connection with purchasing or selling Digital Assets.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH OBSIDION LABS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US. NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS ARE ALLOWED UNDER THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION. IN ADDITION, ARBITRATION PRECLUDES YOU FROM SUING IN COURT OR HAVING A JURY TRIAL.
No Representative Actions. You agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or any of the Services is personal to you and Obsidion Labs and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.
Arbitration of Disputes. Except for claims or disputes in which you or Obsidion Labs seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property, you and Obsidion Labs waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any other claim or dispute arising out of or related to these Terms (collectively, “Disputes”) resolved in court. Instead, for any Dispute that you have against Obsidion Labs you agree to first contact Obsidion Labs and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim (“Notice”) to Obsidion Labs by email at company@obsidion.xyz. The Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought.

The arbitration shall be administered in the British Virgin Islands by the BVI International Arbitration Centre under the BVI IAC Arbitration Rules and conducted by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual. The arbitration will allow for the discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute. The arbitrator, Obsidion Labs, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the Dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary.
Any dispute must be filed within one year after the relevant claim arose; otherwise, the Dispute is permanently barred, which means that you and Obsidion Labs will not have the right to assert the claim.
Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in this Section 18 by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to company@obsidion.xyz. The notice must be sent to Obsidion within thirty (30) days of your first registering to use the Services or agreeing to these Terms, whichever comes first; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes on a non-class basis in accordance with these Terms. If you opt-out of only the arbitration provisions, and not also the class action waiver, the class action waiver still applies. You may not opt-out of only the class action waiver and not also the arbitration provisions. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, Obsidion will also not be bound by them.
If any portion of this Section 18 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 18 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 18; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 18 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 18 will be enforceable.
19. Governing Law and Venue
Any dispute arising from these Terms will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the British Virgin Islands without regard to conflict of law rules or principles that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration will be resolved in the courts of the British Virgin Islands.
20. Severability
If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
21. Force Majeure
You acknowledge and agree that we will not be liable for failures or delays in providing Services or other non-performance caused by events including but not limited to strikes, insurrection, riot, civil unrest, war, fires, utility, or power failures, equipment failures, changes in law, cyberattacks, denial of service attacks, non-performance of our vendors or suppliers, acts of God, pandemic or epidemic events, or other causes over which we have no reasonable control. We will make reasonable efforts to limit the effect of any of those events and start or restart the Services as soon as those events have been fixed.
22. Miscellaneous
The failure of Obsidion Labs to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. All waivers must be in writing to be effective. These Terms reflect the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, representations, statements and understandings of the parties. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Use of the word “including” will be interpreted to mean “including without limitation.” Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law and the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect. Your relationship to Obsidion Labs is that of an independent contractor. Nothing in these Terms shall be construed to create any association, partnership, joint venture, employment, agency relationship, or any other fiduciary relationship between you and Obsidion Labs for any purpose. These Terms, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without Obsidion Labs’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. Obsidion Labs may freely assign these Terms. Obsidion Labs will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance (other than payment obligations) caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, war, terrorism, civil unrest, governmental action, labor disputes, internet or telecommunications failures, or third-party service outages. These Terms are for the sole benefit of you and Obsidion Labs and do not create any third-party beneficiary rights in any other person or entity. Any notices or other communications provided by us under these Terms will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by email, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted. You agree that communications and transactions between us may be conducted electronically. Any provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including, without limitation, provisions regarding intellectual property, indemnification, disclaimers, limitation of liability, release, dispute resolution, and feedback) will survive termination.
