Rings
TERMS OF USE · VERSION 1.0 · EFFECTIVE 10 NOV 2026

Terms

These terms cover your use of Rings. They are written to be read: short clauses, plain words. Where they mention privacy or risk, the Disclosures page goes into detail.

01

About these terms

  1. 1.1 These terms govern your use of Rings, a software interface for private, one-to-one block trades on Solana Privacy Rings.
  2. 1.2 By connecting a wallet or unlocking Rings, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, don’t use Rings.
  3. 1.3 Rings is independent and not affiliated with Helius. Solana Privacy Rings is built and operated by Helius under its own terms.
02

Who can use Rings

  1. 2.1 You must be of legal age where you live and able to enter a binding agreement.
  2. 2.2 Every wallet is screened when it connects and before it seals a deal. A wallet that fails screening can browse but can’t list, offer or seal.
  3. 2.3 You may not use Rings from a place, or on behalf of a person, that sanctions or local law prohibit.
03

What Rings does

  1. 3.1 Rings lists blocks, relays encrypted offers between two parties, and builds the transactions you sign. It never holds your funds or your keys.
  2. 3.2 Every deal settles in one transaction signed by both parties. Rings can’t change a deal after you sign, and can’t reverse one after it settles.
  3. 3.3 Rings doesn’t give investment, legal or tax advice. Discounts and market prices are information, not recommendations.
04

Your responsibilities

  1. 4.1 You’re responsible for your wallet, the Rings keys derived in your browser, and anyone who uses them.
  2. 4.2 Read the verification list before you sign. Don’t sign a transaction that doesn’t match the terms you agreed.
  3. 4.3 You’re responsible for taxes and reporting that apply to your trades.
05

Fees

  1. 5.1 Rings charges 0.5% of the SOL leg of each sealed deal, paid from the seller’s side inside the seal. Buyers pay no Rings fee.
  2. 5.2 Network costs, such as the Privacy Rings interface and private transaction fees, are paid to the network, not to Rings. We show them before you sign.
  3. 5.3 We’ll give at least 14 days’ notice on this page before changing the Rings fee. Deals already accepted keep their fee.
06

What you may not do

  1. 6.1 Use Rings to evade sanctions, screening or any law.
  2. 6.2 Trade funds you know or suspect come from crime, or help someone else do so.
  3. 6.3 Manipulate markets, trade with yourself to fake activity, or misrepresent a block you list.
  4. 6.4 Interfere with Rings, its servers, or other users’ deals.
07

Risks and liability

  1. 7.1 Using Rings carries real risks, set out on the Disclosures page. You accept them when you trade.
  2. 7.2 Rings is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for losses from the Solana network, Solana Privacy Rings, third-party price feeds, or your own keys.
  3. 7.3 Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law.
08

Changes and contact

  1. 8.1 We may update these terms. The version and effective date at the top always show what applies.
  2. 8.2 Material changes are announced in the app at least 14 days before they take effect.
  3. 8.3 Questions about these terms: legal@rings.example.
