These terms and conditions (the “Terms” or, shortly, “T&C”) govern the participation in the cSSV Genesis Boost Campaign (the “Campaign”), which is organized by SSV Network Operations LTD., a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and wholly-owned by SSV Foundation (jointly, “Company”, also referred to as “We”, “Our”, or “Us”). These Terms are part of the general SSV Terms of Service (the “General Terms”, available at SSV TERMS & CONDITIONS). The applicable DAO Proposal and any extensions thereto (“DIP”) shall also be deemed part of these Terms (as published at SSV TERMS & CONDITIONS). Participation in the Campaign shall be deemed a Service under the General Terms.
The Company operates under the governance framework of SSV Network DAO. Certain matters under these Terms, including but not limited to reward distribution and campaign termination, are subject to decisions made by SSV Network DAO in accordance with the applicable DAO Proposal.
BY PARTICIPATING IN THE CAMPAIGN, YOU (“PARTICIPANT”) ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND RELATED TERMS AS REFERRED TO HEREIN.
Capital terms used herein and not defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the General Terms.
Staking operates under a system of economic penalties known as "slashing". Slashing is a protocol-enforced mechanism whereby staked assets may be partially or wholly forfeited ("slashed") in the event of validator misconduct, including but not limited to: (a) validation of fraudulent or invalid transactions; (b) prolonged periods of inactivity or offline status; or (c) attempts to manipulate network consensus or double-sign blocks. The severity of slashing penalties is typically proportional to the nature and extent of the violation. Participants acknowledge and accept that slashing may result in partial or total loss of staked assets, and the Company shall bear no liability for any losses arising from slashing events.
You must read the Terms carefully. The Terms form a legal agreement between you and Company. By participating in the Campaign you agree that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not participate in the Campaign. If you are acting for or on behalf of an entity, you hereby represent and warrant that you are authorised to accept these Terms and enter into a binding agreement with us on such entity’s behalf, and you accept these Terms both on behalf of such entity and on your own behalf.
THE TERMS CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

7. Reward Structure: Participants who satisfy the eligibility criteria for the Campaign shall be entitled to a flat reward multiplier of 1.2x (representing a thirty percent (20%) boost) on base rewards throughout the thirty (30) day campaign window.
8. Staking Caps and Tiered Boost Limits: A minimum stake equivalent to two hundred US dollars (USD $200) is required to participate in the Campaign. The applicable boost percentage shall be determined according to the Participant's staking tier as follows: staking up to five thousand (5,000) SSV tokens shall attract a thirty percent (20%) boost; staking between five thousand and one (5,001) and twelve thousand (12,000) SSV tokens shall attract a twenty percent (15%) boost; staking between twelve thousand and one (12,001) and twenty thousand (20,000) SSV tokens shall attract a fifteen percent (10%) boost; and staking in excess of twenty thousand (20,000) SSV tokens shall not attract any promotional boost, with only base rewards applicable.
9. Lock-in Period
9.1. Minimum Lock-in: Participants acknowledge that staked assets are subject to a mandatory lock-in period (the "bonding period") during which such assets cannot be withdrawn, transferred, or otherwise liquidated. During this period, Participants will not have access to their staked assets and will be unable to respond to market conditions, price volatility, or personal liquidity needs. The lock-in period creates illiquidity risk, and Participants should only stake assets that they can afford to have immobilized for the duration of the applicable lock-in period. Early withdrawal, where permitted, may result in forfeiture of accrued rewards and potential penalties as set forth in these Terms. Participants in this campaign are subject to a lock-in period of ninety (90) days from the date of staking.
9.2. Early Unstaking Penalty: If a participant unstakes their SSV tokens before the expiration of the lock-in period, such participant shall become ineligible for any promotional boost rewards and shall forfeit all accrued boost rewards. Base ETH rewards are not affected by early unstaking.
10. Reward Calculation and Distribution
10.1. Pro-Rata Rewards: A participant's boost rewards will be calculated on a pro-rata basis based on the duration of their stake within the boost period, regardless of when they stake during the Campaign window.
10.2. Boost Eligibility Verification: A boost eligibility checker will be made available on the SSV Network website at ssv.network/cssv/syndicate-boost. The eligibility checker API shall be developed and maintained by SSV Labs.
10.3. Reward Calculation: Final boosted reward distribution shall be calculated by the SSV Labs Marketing team.
10.4. Reward Distribution: Rewards will be distributed on a per-round basis throughout the life of the Campaign. Rewards for the previous month will be claimable the following month. Unclaimed rewards will be carried over to the next round of distribution. Distribution of rewards shall be handled directly by the DAO. For further details and clarifications regarding the Distribution, please refer to the Campaign Frequently Asked Questions available at ssv.network/cssv/syndicate-boost.
11. Claims. Claims must be made through Third-Party websites or directly by the Participant by accessing the underlying Smart Contract. SSV Network DAO is not liable for rewards or the claiming process. You may be excluded from the Campaign in case of breach of the eligibility criteria, including Participants based or registered in a Prohibited Territory, that perform a Prohibited Activity or that have been slashed during the Campaign due to misconduct or misbehavior.
12. Withdrawal. You may withdraw through the SSV App. Once the transaction is processed, your SSV token balance will reflect the withdrawn amount. The subsequent withdrawal period may vary depending on network conditions and the number of users exiting the network simultaneously. For detailed instructions, refer to the official SSV Network Documentation available at docs.ssv.network.
13. Termination. The termination date of the Campaign may change, subject to the DAO Proposal (the “Termination Date”). The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the Campaign at any time, with or without notice, including but not limited to circumstances where the reward pool is exhausted prior to the scheduled end date.

Terms “investment”, “investing”, “deposit” and other similar terms as these may be used in the Campaign are not meant to mean investment service in this sense.
16. Disclaimer It is the sole responsibility of the Participant to conduct appropriate due diligence, maintain access to validator keys, and ensure compliance with all technical and operational requirements. Participation through a third party does not guarantee eligibility for rewards or correct attribution under the Campaign(s). Moreover, the regulatory status of staking activities, digital assets, and blockchain-based services varies across jurisdictions and is subject to change. Participants are solely responsible for determining whether their participation in the Campaign complies with applicable laws and regulations in their jurisdiction. The Company makes no representation regarding the legality of staking in any jurisdiction and shall not be liable for any regulatory actions, enforcement proceedings, or legal consequences arising from a Participant's participation in the Campaign. Staking involves complex technological systems, including blockchain protocols, smart contracts, and cryptographic mechanisms. Participants acknowledge that significant information asymmetry exists between protocol developers and end users. Participants are solely responsible for conducting their own due diligence and obtaining independent technical and legal advice before participating in the Campaign.
17. Third Party Services Where you use Third Party Services to provide stake services, SSV Network DAO, its affiliates, contributors or developers do not endorse, control or assume any responsibility for these Third Party Services providers (nor for their acts or omissions) and you will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable by those Third Parties.
