vAPI Genesis Goose Eggs Official Rules

The sponsor and administrator is vAPI Foundation (the "Sponsor"). The Sponsor operates vAPI Network for this campaign. Campaign and legal notices may be sent to [email protected].

These Official Rules govern eligibility, entry, and the right to mint. The vAPI Genesis Goose Eggs Campaign Terms govern use of the application and mint interface. The vAPI Genesis Goose Eggs Privacy Notice explains campaign data handling. These Official Rules control if those campaign documents conflict about eligibility, entry, or mint rights.

The campaign is open only to natural persons who are at least 18 years old, are legally able to participate from their physical location, and are not subject to applicable sanctions or another legal, regulatory, or binding provider prohibition. The campaign is void wherever participation or minting is prohibited.

Each applicant is responsible for determining whether participation and minting are lawful from the applicant's physical location. Sponsor directors, officers, employees, contractors directly involved in the campaign, and members of their immediate households are not eligible. The Sponsor may require reasonable evidence of eligibility where applicable law permits.

This release includes the application and the paid mint. Applying is free, and minting is optional. The mint window opens on the official campaign page only after applications close.

The opening time is the UTC timestamp displayed on the official campaign page when the Sponsor activates intake. There is no scheduled closing date. The Sponsor manually closes intake through the production campaign controls. The production server timestamp recorded when the Sponsor closes intake is the authoritative UTC cutoff, and the official campaign page displays the closed status and recorded cutoff after closing.

The Sponsor's server records determine when an application is received. A started, incomplete, interrupted, unverified, or unsubmitted application at or after the recorded cutoff is not eligible to mint.

Applying is free. No purchase, payment, token balance, or mint transaction is required to apply. Minting is optional and does not affect whether an application may be submitted.

An applicant must complete every required step before applications close:

Only one application is allowed per person and per wallet. One X identity or one verified email may be used for only one application in this campaign. An applicant may not use additional wallets, accounts, identities, devices, scripts, bots, traffic relays, false information, compromised accounts, or coordinated activity to bypass a limit or security control.

The Sponsor may rate-limit, investigate, reject, or disqualify an application reasonably associated with duplication, manipulation, fraud, unlawful activity, provider abuse, or a material breach of these Rules. Security controls reduce abuse but cannot guarantee that every bot is blocked or every legitimate request is accepted. Decisions remain subject to applicable law.

The collection has a lifetime ceiling of 1,000 vAPI Genesis Goose Eggs. After applications close, one applicant slot is reserved for every application submitted before the closing time that completed qualification and is not finally rejected. An unresolved safety review keeps its slot reserved but must be resolved before that wallet may mint. There is no draw, ranking, or selection.

Each eligible application wallet may mint at most one egg. The right is bound to the wallet recorded on the application and cannot be moved to another wallet. The Sponsor opens the applicant mint window on the official site; it is not announced by email. The window stays open for fourteen days from opening. An applicant that has not minted when the window closes loses that applicant mint right, so the actual collection supply may be lower than 1,000.

After every reserved applicant slot has either been used or expired, the Sponsor may offer some remaining eggs in a separate public release at a separately announced price and under separately published terms. A later public allocation cannot consume or displace a slot while it remains reserved for an applicant, and total lifetime supply can never exceed 1,000 eggs.

Public release. After the applicant mint window closed on 30 September 2026 at 13:14 UTC, the Sponsor may offer any Eggs that remain unminted to any wallet at 9 USDC each, payable in USDC or in ETH at the exact amount quoted when the mint is authorized, limited to one Egg per wallet, until the 1,000-Egg lifetime supply is reached or the Sponsor ends the public release. No application or qualification is required. Signing in with the wallet, completing the bot check, and accepting these Official Rules at mint are required. Everything else in these Official Rules applies to public-release mints in the same way.

Minting costs the exact USDC price shown on the mint page at the time of minting, paid on Base through the exact contract address published on the official vAPI domain, plus network fees. The wallet must hold enough USDC and native currency, approve the exact USDC allowance, and submit the mint transaction inside the window. During the public release the price may instead be paid in ETH at the exact amount quoted when the mint is authorized; an ETH payment needs no USDC allowance. Confirmed blockchain transactions are irreversible and there are no refunds, except where mandatory law requires otherwise.

The Sponsor never sends signing, payment, transaction, or mint instructions by email. The safety word shown on the mint page is a recognition signal, not authentication, and is never requested as an input or reply.

Before signing, the applicant must check the domain, network, contract address, connected wallet, payment asset, price, and transaction details. Confirmed blockchain transactions may be irreversible. The safety word is a recognition signal displayed after it is chosen, in post-verification campaign email, and where specified on the private site. It is not authentication, will never be requested as an input or reply, and does not replace independently opening and checking the official domain and contract address.

A vAPI Genesis Goose Egg is a digital collectible offered for collecting and entertainment. It is not an investment, security, deposit, ownership interest, financial product, or promise of profit, resale value, governance, access, rewards, or future utility.

An egg may hatch at a later date chosen by the Sponsor. If it does, any outcome is decided by a published, reproducible process in which the odds are identical for every egg, cannot be bought or improved, and do not depend on who holds the egg. The Sponsor makes no promise of tiers, traits, perks, benefits, access, rewards, governance rights, or value from a hatch, and may decide not to hatch at all.

Each applicant is responsible for determining and paying taxes, duties, reporting obligations, network fees, and other costs that apply to that applicant. The campaign is void where prohibited. The Sponsor may withhold or refuse participation where required by sanctions, tax, consumer, anti-money-laundering, or other applicable law.

The campaign depends on wallets, X, email delivery, hosting, Base, RPC providers, USDC, and other third-party systems. The Sponsor may pause, modify, suspend, or cancel the campaign or mint window when a legal, security, sanctions, provider, force-majeure, or material technical issue makes the process unsafe, unlawful, or materially unfair.

Any cancellation or failed-mint treatment follows these Rules and applicable law. Confirmed blockchain transactions remain final and non-refundable except where mandatory law requires otherwise.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the campaign, application interface, mint interface, and collectible are provided "as is" and "as available." The Sponsor does not warrant uninterrupted provider availability, mint success, wallet compatibility, market value, resale, metadata permanence, or future features.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Sponsor and its campaign service providers are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or third-party losses caused by user error, compromised credentials, phishing, an incorrect address or network, a provider outage, network congestion, token behavior, or an irreversible transaction. Nothing in these Rules excludes or limits liability, remedies, or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

The vAPI Genesis Goose Eggs Privacy Notice describes the campaign data collected, why it is used, who receives it, retention, international processing, marketing choices, public blockchain records, and available data rights. Marketing consent is separate from acceptance of these Rules. Withdrawing marketing consent after email qualification does not cancel an otherwise valid application.

These Rules do not displace the mandatory law, jurisdiction, dispute process, or venue that applies to an applicant or the Sponsor. Before starting formal proceedings, an applicant and the Sponsor will first try in good faith for 30 days to resolve a written dispute sent to [email protected]. A court or authority with jurisdiction under applicable law may hear an unresolved dispute.

These are the Official Rules in force for the published version shown above. Material changes to an active campaign must be published with a new version and handled as required by law.

English is the only controlling publication for this application-and-mint release. Nothing in these Rules removes a non-waivable right, remedy, jurisdiction, or protection that applies to an applicant.
