The Gavel Protocol By using CipherPod, you agree to be bound by Automated Community Decisions. This includes the 50% Consensus Liquidation Rule and the 12-hour spending Veto window. Decisions executed by "The Gavel" (Automated Resolver) are final and binding.

1. The Mobile Security Layer

This Web Gateway is a "Read-Only" portal. High-integrity financial actions, including C-Share trading, project governance, and E-Studio procurement, must be executed via the official CipherPod Mobile Security Layer.

2. Market Integrity & Anti-Wash Rules

The 7-Day Rule: You cannot buy back C-Shares of a project you have sold within the last 7 calendar days to prevent market manipulation.
Price Corridors: Listing prices are restricted to a ±10% corridor of the Last Traded Price (LTP) to ensure project stability.
Bonding Curves: Asset values are determined by volume-weighted curves. Staking involves high risk and values can reach zero.

3. Tax & Compliance (India)

In accordance with Section 194-S/194-O of the Indian Income Tax Act, a mandatory 1% TDS is deducted at source for all qualifying creative equity transactions.

4. Creative Assets & E-Studio

AI-generated content and collaboration drafts are governed by project-specific escrow locks. Rejection of drafts may trigger a 30% Kill Fee for the Creator. All AI assets belong to the project stakeholders, not individual account holders.

5. Project Deactivation

Liquidated projects enter a "Ghost State." Investors must claim final yields from the project Tombstone within 24 months before funds are forfeited to platform maintenance shards.

6. Jurisdiction

Any dispute arising from sharded settlements shall be settled by Binding Arbitration in Sri Vijaya Puram, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, India.
