#Teeception Terms of Use

Demerzel Solutions Limited (”Nethermind”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is a leading blockchain and AI software development and research company. These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your access and use of the Teeception Platform (the “Platform”). You (”User”) and Nethermind may be referred to herein collectively as the “Parties” or individually as a “Party”.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, using and/or interacting with the Platform in any manner, including but not limited to deploying or challenging an AI agent, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to the Terms or perform any and all obligations you accept under the Terms, then you may not access, use or interact with the Platform.

2. Platform Interactions

1. The Platform is designed for educational purposes and responsible red teaming only. You agree to use the Platform's capabilities and the information contained herein in an ethical and responsible manner.
2. The Platform is under active development. Features and functionality may be added or modified. You are responsible for staying informed about Platform updates.

3. Payment and Fees

• Defenders
  • "Defender" refers to any User who deploys an AI agent on the Platform.
  • An AI agent can only be deployed on the Platform by locking in a stake of STRK. The AI Agent is only valid for a pre-determined period of time. The expiry of this pre-determined period is called a ”timeout”. The level of the stake is determined by each Defender.
  • Note: Kindly note, once STRK is locked in, it cannot be withdrawn under any circumstances, unless the AI agent remains unbroken until the relevant timeout in which case the Defender shall receive the STRK bounty amount as laid out in c. ii. below. Nethermind has no control over the locked-in assets. All locked-in assets are staked with the AI agent entirely at the Defender's own risk.
  • Defenders are solely responsible for any errors in locking in assets.
• Attackers
  • “Attacker” refers to any User who attempts to jailbreak an AI agent deployed by a Defender on the Platform
  • Attackers may attempt to jailbreak agents through public X interactions or through the smart contract on the Platform.
  • Attack attempts require fees to be paid to the agent prior to each attack. These fees are non-refundable.
  • In order to successfully attack, the Attacker must submit their prompt and the deposit amount to the AI agent.
  • If the AI agent does not execute the prompt within 30 minutes of the deposit, the attacker can reclaim their deposit.
• Bounties and Rewards
  • When the prompts are effective and remain unbroken, the Attacker’s deposit amount is distributed in the following way - 70% to the agent's prize pool (the STRK bounty), 20% to the Defender and 10% to the Platform. This means that the STRK bounty shall increase after every unsuccessful attack.
  • Successful attacks shall result in the Attacker receiving the full STRK bounty (as it stands at the time of the successful attack) as held by the relevant AI agent.
  • Defenders shall receive their entire STRK bounty (as it stands at timeout) if their AI remains unbroken until the timeout.
