A. Abstract

We are committed in building a sustainable ecosystem that provides a fair and enjoyable experience for all participants. To preserve the integrity of our ecosystem, we believe that the DAO should implement a ban policy that addresses activities that violate the Terms of Service as well as other malicious activities that are detrimental to the Crypto Unicorns DAO, economy, community, game, and all associated products.

B. Ban Scenarios and Instances

  1. Terms of Service Violations: This covers any violations against the Crypto Unicorns Terms of Services.
  2. Hacking and Exploits: This includes any attempt to exploit smart contract, backend, or frontend vulnerabilities to manipulate game mechanics, take in-game assets or treasury funds, or disrupt any functionality.
  3. Cheating and Bots: This refers to the creation and use of automated software, such as bots or scripts, to obtain an unfair advantage over other participants or players. Simple programs that do not negatively impact the economy are exempt from this.
  4. Abusing Glitches: This refers to exploiting a platform's intended and unintended features or bugs for an unfair advantage.
  5. Unreported Security Bugs: This includes exploiting a security bug or vulnerability for personal gain or to cause harm to the platform or its users without reporting it, as well as sharing information about a security bug or vulnerability with other users without reporting it, thus enabling or encouraging its exploitation. A significant part of sustaining the security and integrity of the Crypto Unicorns DAO and ecosystem involves addressing potential security vulnerabilities. Users who discover security flaws or vulnerabilities are expected to promptly report them using the Security Bug Bounty form.
  6. Sybil Attacks: This refers to the creation and use of multiple accounts for the purpose of manipulating game mechanics/reward systems/leaderboards, evading suspensions, or influencing the governance system.
  7. Misuse of Game Resources: This includes abuse on the game's resources, such as computational power or storage, to launch distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, or engage in other malicious activities.

C. Temporary Suspensions

  1. Wallets: Players caught violating any of the above will have their wallets temporarily suspended immediately. Suspended wallets are denied access to all Crypto Unicorns DAO products, which includes the main game, its second party games, and any other products that will be released after this policy goes into effect.

  2. NFT Assets: When a wallet is temporarily suspended, any NFT assets associated with the wallet will be tagged as “blacklisted” on the Hawku Marketplace and will remain in the game while the wallet’s in-game access will be disabled. The “blacklist” tagging in the marketplace is intended to protect unsuspecting players from purchasing NFTs associated with suspended wallets by error.

Once a temporary suspension has been served, a player may either:
