Overview

  • What is a Listing Pass?

    • A digital NFT “Pass” that grants the holder the right to have their project, protocol, or product listed on the Ethos Network website for 1 year.

  • How long is it valid?

    • Passes must be redeemed within 3 years of purchase. Redemption permanently burns the Pass.

  • Auction Details:

    • Passes are sold via a Dutch auction. All sales are final — no refunds.

    • The dutch auction will start as a bi-weekly occurrence

  • Transfers:

    • Passes are transferable. A 5% fee applies to any secondary sales, automatically collected via the smart contract.

  • Who can list?

    • Only upcoming or launching projects (no personal or individual listings).

  • Other Key Points:

    • Ethos can add or remove listings at any time, even without a purchased Pass.

    • Listings can be locked for future voting (at the holder’s request) for the full 12-month period, but will remain visible on the project profile unless Ethos determines otherwise.

    • Ethos can mint promotional Pass NFTs and airdrop them to select users, but will ensure that airdropped NFTs never exceed the number of passes sold via auctions.

  • Support:
    Listing coordination is done through help.ethos.network.


Full Terms

1. Definitions and Service Overview

  • A Pass is a non-fungible token (NFT) granting the holder the right to coordinate with Ethos for one (1) project, protocol, or product listing on the Ethos Network website for a 12-month period.

  • Passes must be redeemed within 3 years of purchase. Upon redemption, the Pass is burned (permanently removed and non-transferable).

  • Ethos-Added Listings: Ethos may add listings to the platform at any time, without requiring an auction. Ethos retains full rights to add, modify, or remove such listings at-will.


2. Eligibility and Content Standards

  • Listings are only for upcoming or launching projects. No individual users or unrelated content are allowed.

  • Ethos reserves the right to approve, reject, or remove any listing at its discretion.


3. Auction and Purchase Terms

  • Passes are sold via Dutch auction (price decreases until a user purchases).

  • All purchases are final and non-refundable.

  • Ethos reserves the right to cancel or adjust any auction for technical, legal, or other reasons.


4. Transferability

  • Passes can be transferred or sold on secondary markets.

  • A 5% transfer fee is automatically applied to all secondary transfers.


5. Expiration and Redemption

  • Unredeemed Passes expire after 3 years.

  • Redemption triggers a burn (the Pass is permanently invalidated).


6. Coordination and Responsibilities

  • Pass holders must coordinate listings through help.ethos.network.

  • Locked Listings: At the purchaser’s request, a listing may be locked for future voting during its 12-month term. The listing will remain visible on the project profile as long as the listing feature exists, unless otherwise determined by Ethos.

  • You must provide accurate, lawful, and complete project information.


7. Minting and Promotional Passes

  • Ethos may mint and airdrop Pass NFTs for promotional purposes at its discretion.

  • Ethos will ensure that the total number of airdropped passes never exceeds the number of passes sold via auctions, and these promotional NFTs are intended to remain limited.


8. Legal & Liability

  • Ethos Listings are provided “as is” without warranties of any kind.

  • Ethos is not liable for any outcomes or damages resulting from listings or Pass usage.

  • You agree to indemnify Ethos for any claims related to your content or actions.

  • You are responsible for any applicable taxes arising from the purchase, transfer, or sale of a Pass.


9. Additional Terms

  • Force Majeure: Ethos is not responsible for events beyond its control (e.g., blockchain outages, regulatory changes).

  • Compliance: The Pass is a utility token, not a security or investment product.

  • Public Data: Transactions and wallet addresses are visible on the blockchain. Ethos does not conduct KYC or store user data.


10. Governing Law and Changes

  • These terms are governed by Delaware law.

  • Ethos may update or amend these terms at any time.
