2. Nature of Axiom's Service
2.1 Prediction Market Platform
Axiom is a decentralized prediction market built on the XRPL EVM Sidechain. Users may trade outcome tokens on event markets. As described in the Axiom Whitepaper:
- Axiom Theorem powers markets and decentralized resolution.
- Axiom Prime powers staking, yield, and stake-weighted governance.
Axiom does not custody user funds. All interactions occur through your self-custody wallet.
2.2 No Advice or Brokerage Services
Axiom is not:
- a broker or exchange,
- a custodian or money transmitter,
- an investment, tax, or legal advisor,
- a gambling operator.
Axiom does not provide recommendations or guarantees.
2.3 Decentralized Infrastructure Disclaimer
Axiom uses public, permissionless smart contracts. Use of these contracts is entirely at your own risk.
3. User Responsibilities
3.1 Compliance With Laws
You are solely responsible for complying with all applicable laws regarding:
- prediction markets,
- blockchain and digital assets,
- taxation,
- AML/CTF regulations.
3.2 Wallet Ownership
You must only use wallets you control. You are responsible for safeguarding keys and recovery phrases. Axiom cannot recover access or reverse on-chain transactions.
3.3 Accuracy of Information
Any information or evidence you submit must be complete and truthful.
4. Axiom Prime and Axiom Theorem
4.1 Staking Through Axiom Prime
Staking XRP or RLUSD into Axiom Prime grants:
- non-transferable share tokens representing governance weight,
- potential yield from market commissions and penalties,
- exposure to penalties or rewards during governance participation.
Governance operations may temporarily lock your stake.
4.2 Market Trading Through Axiom Theorem
When trading outcome tokens:
- trades settle directly against smart contracts,
- pricing is algorithmic or orderbook-based,
- trading risks are solely your responsibility.
Market outcomes are determined via decentralized governance.
4.3 Resolution and Governance Risk
You acknowledge markets may resolve through:
- optimistic (unchallenged) proposals,
- challenged resolutions and voting,
- escalated full-staker votes,
- invalid/no-contest outcomes.
All resolution results are final and not subject to appeal.
