Terms of Service

Last updated: May 20, 2026

Important — Please Read Carefully

Spiral Stake is a non-custodial, decentralized protocol. Using it involves significant financial risk, including the potential loss of all funds. These Terms govern your access to the Spiral Stake interface at spiralstake.xyz and the app at app.spiralstake.xyz. The underlying smart contracts are autonomous and immutable — no party controls or can reverse transactions once submitted on-chain.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Spiral Stake website, web application, documentation, or any related interfaces (collectively, the “Interface”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Interface.

These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and anyone who accesses the Interface. They do not govern the underlying Spiral Stake smart contracts, which operate autonomously on public blockchain networks.

2. Description of the Protocol

Spiral Stake is a fully non-custodial leverage execution layer for digital assets, built on top of Morpho Blue and powered by flash-loan infrastructure. It enables two categories of strategy:

  • Leveraged Yield Strategy: Amplifies returns on correlated asset pairs (e.g., sUSDe/USDC, wstETH/WETH) when yield on the underlying collateral exceeds borrow costs.
  • Leveraged Long Strategy: Provides directional exposure on non-correlated pairs (e.g., ETH/USDC, wBTC/USDC) without requiring derivatives or surrendering base asset holdings.

At no point does Spiral Stake take custody of your assets. All positions are isolated to a user-specific proxy contract and interact directly with Morpho Blue lending markets.

3. Eligibility and Prohibited Use

You must be of legal age in your jurisdiction to enter binding contracts. By using the Interface you represent that:

  • You are not a resident, citizen, or entity organized in any jurisdiction where access to or use of decentralized finance protocols is prohibited, restricted, or unlicensed, including but not limited to the United States of America, the United Kingdom (where applicable), or any country subject to OFAC sanctions.
  • You are not subject to sanctions administered by the U.S. OFAC, the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, or any other applicable sanctions authority.
  • You are accessing the Interface for your own account and not on behalf of any sanctioned or prohibited party.
  • You understand that the Interface may use geo-blocking or other technical measures to enforce these restrictions, and that circumventing such measures is a violation of these Terms.

4. No Financial, Investment, or Legal Advice

Nothing on the Interface, in the documentation, or in any communications from Spiral Stake constitutes financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. All content is provided for informational purposes only. You are solely responsible for evaluating whether any strategy, asset, or use of leverage is appropriate for your financial situation.

Past performance of any asset, yield, or strategy is not indicative of future results. Projected returns (e.g., “5x leverage targets 25% on a 5% base yield”) are illustrative examples only and are not guarantees.

5. Risk Disclosure

Use of Spiral Stake involves substantial risk. You acknowledge and accept all of the following:

5.1 Liquidation Risk

Leveraged positions may be liquidated if collateral value falls below Morpho’s loan-to-value (LTV) threshold. The protocol enforces a 2.5% buffer below Morpho’s liquidation LTV, but rapid price movements, oracle delays, or depegging events can breach this buffer. Liquidation may result in the loss of most or all of your supplied collateral.

5.2 Smart Contract Risk

Spiral Stake interacts with Morpho Blue, swap aggregators, and on-chain oracle systems. While the protocol has undergone multiple independent audits and implements reentrancy guards on all state-changing functions, no audit eliminates all vulnerabilities. Smart contract bugs, exploits, or unexpected interactions may result in permanent loss of funds.

5.3 Interest Rate Risk

Morpho borrow rates are variable and tied to pool utilization. Rising borrow costs on correlated positions can eliminate or reverse profitability even without any price movement.

5.4 Oracle Risk

LTV calculations rely on Morpho’s oracle infrastructure. Stale prices, oracle misconfiguration, or manipulation can cause incorrect liquidations or fail to trigger liquidations when appropriate.

5.5 Liquidity Risk

Under stressed market conditions, swap liquidity between collateral and loan tokens may be insufficient, making exits prohibitively expensive or temporarily impossible.

5.6 Collateral and Yield Source Risk

Underlying protocol changes — including reward adjustments, fee modifications, or smart contract issues within yield-bearing tokens (e.g., sUSDe, wstETH) — can reduce expected returns or trigger depegging events that harm your position.

5.7 User Error Risk

Transacting directly with Morpho on behalf of your UserProxy, bypassing Spiral Stake’s functions, will cause accounting misalignment and may result in improper fee charges or position corruption. Always interact with your position exclusively through the Spiral Stake interface.

5.8 Regulatory Risk

The regulatory status of DeFi protocols, digital assets, and leveraged products varies by jurisdiction and is subject to change. Future regulatory actions may restrict or prohibit your access or use.

6. Fees

The Spiral Stake protocol charges the following fees, which are subject to change within protocol-defined maximums:

  • Yield Fee (Correlated Markets): 5% of realized profit on position close (maximum 10%). No fee is charged if a position breaks even or operates at a loss.
  • Deposit Fee (Non-Correlated Markets): Currently 0% on capital entering a position (maximum 1%).
  • Swap Fee: 0.1% on internal flash-loan swaps during leverage creation.

No management fees, withdrawal fees (beyond gas), or Morpho flash loan costs are charged by the protocol. Gas costs are paid directly to the network and are not controlled by Spiral Stake.

7. Non-Custodial Nature; No Liability for On-Chain Events

Spiral Stake does not custody, hold, control, or have access to your digital assets at any time. The Interface is a front-end that facilitates interaction with autonomous smart contracts. Spiral Stake cannot reverse, cancel, or modify transactions once broadcast to the blockchain.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Spiral Stake, its contributors, and affiliated entities are not liable for any losses arising from: liquidations, smart contract exploits, oracle failures, network congestion, front-running, market volatility, loss of private keys, or any other on-chain or off-chain event beyond our direct control.

8. Interface Availability

The Interface is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may suspend, modify, or discontinue the Interface at any time without notice, including in response to regulatory requirements. The underlying smart contracts remain accessible directly via the blockchain regardless of Interface availability.

9. Intellectual Property

The Spiral Stake brand, logo, website design, and documentation are proprietary. The underlying smart contracts and certain front-end components may be open source — refer to the Spiral Stake GitHub for applicable licenses. You may not use the Spiral Stake name or brand in a way that implies endorsement without written permission.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Spiral Stake, its contributors, and any affiliated entities from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the Interface, your breach of these Terms, your violation of any law or third-party right, or any transaction you execute through the protocol.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event shall Spiral Stake or its contributors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of data, or loss of digital assets, arising out of or related to your use of the Interface or the protocol, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law, excluding any conflict-of-law rules that would apply another jurisdiction’s law. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Interface shall be resolved through binding arbitration on an individual basis. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Interface after changes are posted constitutes acceptance. We will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page when changes are made. Material changes will be announced via our official communication channels.
