1. What this is
QueraIS is an experimental, testnet-only decentralized AI inference marketplace. Requests you send through the gateway are served by independent GPU node operators, matched by price, reputation, and speed, and settled in $QAIS tokens on the Arbitrum Sepolia test network.
By requesting an API key or running a node you agree to these terms.
2. Testnet — nothing here has value
- $QAIS on testnet is a valueless test token. It is not money, not an investment, and not redeemable for anything. Faucet balances, staking positions, fees, and rewards can be wiped at any time by a redeploy.
- The service is provided as is, with no warranty and no SLA. It may be paused, rate-limited, redeployed, or shut down without notice.
- Nothing in this repository or service is financial, legal, or investment advice. No token sale is offered or implied.
3. Your content goes to third parties
This is a marketplace, not a single provider: your prompts are executed on machines owned by independent node operators we do not control. Do not send secrets, personal data, regulated data, or anything you would not hand to an unknown third party. See the Privacy Notice for exactly what is processed, sampled, and stored.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- attempt to extract other users' data or other operators' keys;
- attack the service (DoS, faucet draining, settlement griefing, deliberately serving wrong inference results to farm payments);
- use the network for content that is illegal where you or the serving node operate;
- resell access in a way that hides these terms from the end user.
Verification (Layer A/B) and the dispute system exist to catch dishonest serving; triggering them dishonestly is itself a violation.
5. Node operators
Running a node means you execute other people's prompts on your hardware and are paid in test tokens for doing so. You are responsible for your machine, your electricity, your keys, and your local law. Staked test tokens can be slashed by the dispute process described in the protocol docs.
6. Fees
The protocol charges a 5% fee on settled jobs, routed on-chain to the protocol treasury (60% operations / 20% burned / 20% to stakers). On testnet these flows are real mechanics with valueless tokens.
7. Changes
These terms will change as the protocol moves toward mainnet. Material changes land in this file's git history — the diff is the changelog. Continued use after a change is acceptance.
