1. Scope of Applicability

This AUP applies to all interactions with Enerdex.org and its technical subdomains, including but not limited to explorer.enerdex.org, grid.enerdex.org, epoch.enerdex.org, and mesh.enerdex.org. Use must respect applicable requirements and Enerdex technical boundaries, including source integrity, participant authorization, and reliable ledger reconciliation.

2. Prohibited Conduct (Protocol Layer)

Participants are strictly forbidden from:

  • Replaying StorageProofs outside their original epoch window, thereby inducing nonce discontinuity.
  • Submitting fabricated Merkle roots or slope-violating discharge curves.
  • Forging or truncating signer bitmaps in Quorum Certificates (QCs).
  • Injecting invalid AnchorCommits with false or unauthorized evidence references.
  • Manipulating policy_hash bindings, including mid-epoch substitution or retroactive drift.
  • Misrepresenting validation outcomes or application record checks as verified energy activity.

3. Prohibited Conduct (Consensus Layer)

Within the Enerdex Verifier Mesh:

  • No node may introduce vote storms intended to disrupt legitimate verification.
  • No verifier may withhold votes to deliberately induce view changes.
  • No participant may attempt to manipulate coordinator selection.
  • No party may impersonate authorized membership in the Enerdex application network or XRPL validator network.

4. Prohibited Conduct (Ledger Layer)

When interfacing with XRPL anchoring:

  • Do not misrepresent measurement sequence or verification status.
  • Do not submit the same energy record as distinct verified activity.
  • No ledger-index hint may be falsified or advanced beyond XRPL validated close.
  • No application state field (seen[ES], last_epoch[storage_id], policy_hash) may be interfered with or spoofed at the UI layer.

5. System Abuse & Exploitation

You must not:

  • Perform unauthorized key extraction or attempts to compromise a participant.
  • Inject malformed JSON into Enerdex explorers to produce misleading telemetry.
  • Generate synthetic anomalies (e.g., slope violations, clock skew) for the purpose of deceiving observers.
  • Attempt to derive personally identifiable data from records or technical identifiers.
  • Leverage Enerdex explorers for unsupported trading or valuation claims.

6. Enforcement Mechanisms

Invalid or abusive activity can lead to application rejection and investigation:

  • Duplicate records should be flagged by application checks.
  • Sequence discontinuities require evidence review.
  • Unauthenticated certificates must not be treated as verified.
  • Ledger status must be checked against validated results.
  • Policy mismatches require resolution before further processing.

These controls are technical design requirements, not a claim that all abuse is automatically prevented or that applicable law is replaced.
