The Services include a user interface that allows users to access and interact with the Protocol, but the user interface is not the exclusiveor sole m eans to do so. Please review the Protocol software code and related documentation before using the Services to access or interact with the Protocol to learn more about the rules and requirements of the Protocol.

2.3. Testnet. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you may use the Services to access and interact with a “test network” version of the Protocol for purposes of experimenting with the Protocol within a test environment (the “Testnet”). Your transactions on the Testnet shall solely be for experimental and educational purposes only and shall not be reflected on the Base layer-two “main network” and/or Ethereum blockchain “main network.” Crypto assets transacted with or acquired on the Testnet have no market value and cannot be transferred to any “main network.”

2.4.Protocol Fees . You acknowledge and agree that the Protocol may from time to time assess service fees (“Protocol Fees”) directly from you in accordance with Protocol rules. The current Protocol Fees are set forth at [https://docs.avantisfi.com/rewards/revenue-distribution].

3. Accessing the Services.

3.1. Connecting a Wallet. To access and use certain aspects of the Services, you will be required to connect a compatible Ethereum blockchain digital wallet (“Wallet”).

You acknowledge and understand that Avantis does not offer bridge software to users. Crypto assets that have not been bridged to Base cannot be used in transactions on the Protocol. Once you have bridged crypto assets to Base, such crypto assets cannot be used on Ethereum until such crypto assets have been “withdrawn” from Base. The crypto assets that you bridge to Base will appear in your Wallet on Base, but will not appear in your Wallet on Ethereum. The crypto assets that you withdraw will no longer appear in your Wallet on Base but will appear in your Wallet on Ethereum. If you attempt to bridge any crypto assets that are not supported by a bridge designed for Base, you may destroy or irretrievably lose access to such crypto assets. You own, control, and are responsible for all crypto assets held in and bridged via your Wallet and Avantis shall not be liable or responsible for any crypto assets that are destroyed or irretrievably lost by you through the bridging and withdrawing process. Your use of Base is subject to the Base Terms of Service available at https://docs.base.org/terms-of-service.
