Terms Of Use

1. Preamble

By accessing, simulating, interacting with, or otherwise deriving informational value from Enerdex.org and its subdomains (including but not limited to explorer.enerdex.org, grid.enerdex.org, epoch.enerdex.org, and mesh.enerdex.org), you acknowledge and irrevocably consent that your use is governed by a framework of application-layer consensus (ESSC), verifier mesh determinism, and XRPL ledger anchoring primitives.

Enerdex is not a custodial system, marketplace, or commodity exchange. It is a deterministic abstraction layer that cryptographically models the lifecycle of surplus energy units, binding StorageProof attestations, Verifier Quorum Certificates, and XRPL Hook state transitions into a closed mathematical envelope.

2. Definitions

  • Enerdex Units (EU): Synthetic ledger representations of surplus storage states, minted or burned only upon XRPL Hook validation.
  • StorageProof (SP): Cryptographic emission from a TEE-sealed inverter, embedding Merkle roots, nonce continuity, and slope plausibility.
  • EnergySlice Identifier (ES): Unique hash representation of an indivisible surplus fragment, non-replayable and non-duplicable under XRPL anchoring.
  • Quorum Certificate (QC): A threshold-signed aggregate of verifier votes, deterministically binding physical SP to a subsequent AnchorCommit.
  • AnchorCommit (AC): XRPL-anchored transaction hash embodying the canonical ledger binding of Enerdex surplus.

3. XRPL Anchoring and Deterministic Closure

All Enerdex states are considered non-existent until XRPL finality. XRPL ledger closure (~3–5s) provides the canonical boundary condition for all Enerdex-derived states. No claim of surplus, trade, or redemption shall be regarded as valid unless and until it is both:

  1. Embedded into an AnchorCommit and accepted by XRPL Hooks without regression, duplication, or epoch rewind.
  2. Reflected in XRPL on-ledger deterministic state, as observable through validated ledger indices.

Any simulated or off-ledger representation of Enerdex states is strictly informational and shall not constitute financial, contractual, or commercial value.

4. Prohibited Uses

Users must not, directly or indirectly, attempt to:

  • Replay, fabricate, or re-sequence StorageProofs.
  • Circumvent XRPL Hook policy hashes pinned at epoch initialization.
  • Submit Enerdex Units or ES IDs outside of deterministic anchoring flow.
  • Induce anchor duplication, epoch regression, or signer bitmap forgery.
  • Misrepresent Enerdex telemetry, validator mesh latency, or Hook outcomes.

Violation of these invariants may result in unilateral voiding of the affected state, rejection at the XRPL Hook layer, or irreversible burn of Enerdex Units.

5. Technical Disclaimers

Enerdex operates as an autonomous overlay on XRPL, with heavy computation off-ledger and deterministic anchoring on-ledger. Users acknowledge:

  • No Guarantee of Value: Enerdex Units are simulated abstractions, not energy, currency, or securities.
  • XRPL Dependency: All Enerdex validity depends upon XRPL deterministic ledger closure; forks, amendments, or validator reconfiguration may alter observable state.
  • Experimental Hooks: XRPL Hooks are experimental and may reject Anchors due to ESSeen duplication, MintLock constraints, or policy hash misalignment.
  • Non-Custodial Fabric: Enerdex does not store, escrow, or guarantee any asset. All outputs are informational.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permissible by applicable deterministic law, Enerdex disclaims liability for:

  • Any loss of Enerdex Units due to Hook rejection, epoch regression, or nonce-chain discontinuity.
  • Any inconsistency between simulated Enerdex explorers (grid, epoch, mesh) and the canonical XRPL ledger.
  • Any misinterpretation of cryptographic constructs (e.g., signerBitmap density, aggSig validity, QC latency).
  • Any technical, regulatory, or economic assumption derived from interaction with Enerdex systems.

7. Governing Protocol

This Terms of Use is not governed by civil law but by the triple-layer protocol envelope:

  • Physical Attestation (TEE → SP),
  • Mesh Consensus (VN → QC),
  • XRPL Anchoring (Hook → AC → Ledger).

By continuing, you affirm that you understand Enerdex is entirely bound by XRPL deterministic closure and that no human arbitration exists within its protocol envelope.
