NDAX also prohibits Users from acting on behalf of third parties, and NDAX employees are trained to detect third party involvement through client communications on live chat, telephone, and e-mail. In the event a form of communication leads NDAX to suspect a User is acting on behalf of a third party, NDAX may require additional information from that User to determine the nature of any third-party relationship, failure of which to provide will be deemed a breach of this Agreement and may result in the termination of the User’s account, at the sole discretion of NDAX.

1. The Service may not be available in all markets and jurisdictions and NDAX reserves the right to limit or prohibit use of the Service in certain jurisdictions.

You further expressly agree to fully indemnify NDAX, its employees, officers, directors, agents, licensors, or Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, and employees, and hold each of them harmless against any and all liability, costs, or damages arising out of any claim or suit by any such third party based upon or relating in any way to such access or use of such Services.

If unlawful, illegal, fraudulent, or harmful use of the Website or Services is found by any User by NDAX, NDAX maintains the sole and unfettered discretion to terminate the User’s access to the Website or Services.
9. You will not transmit to or in any way, whether directly or indirectly, expose NDAX to any computer virus or other similarly harmful or inappropriate material or device.

1. Users may be required to have an Account in order to use certain aspects of functionalities of the Website. Subject to this Agreement, Users may apply for an Account using the processes made available for that purpose by NDAX. NDAX, in its discretion may accept or reject Users application for an Account.
2. By using an Account, you expressly agree and represent that you will provide truthful, accurate, and complete information, and maintain and update your Account information. You agree to take full responsibility for all use and misuse that occurs under your Account (including all transactions using your Account) and for all resulting loss, damage, and liability. Users will not permit any person (other than authorized Users) to use your Account.
3. You further agree that by opening and using an Account you are doing so for your sole benefit, and not for the benefit of, on behalf of, under the instruction of, or in any other way in relation to a third party.
4. NDAX may, in its sole and unfettered discretion limit the number of Accounts any one User may hold.

The following terms apply to Accounts designated by one or more Users as “Joint Accounts” (individually a “Joint Accountholder”):
1. 1. Each Joint Accountholder acknowledges that each other Joint Accountholder may be provided Account information including transaction history, login information, and personal information of other Joint Accountholders. Each Joint Accountholder has authority to make trading, transfer, withdrawal, or deposit decisions, in relation to the Joint Account and the Crypto Asset and cash balances contained therein, independent of each other Joint Accountholder. Each Joint Accountholder agrees to indemnify NDAX and hold it harmless together with its officers, directors, employees, affiliates and assigns for any trading loss, withdrawal or other action that results in a financial loss when one Joint Accountholder acts independent of another Joint Accountholder.
   2. All Crypto Asset and fiat balances in an Account are the joint property of all Joint Accountholders, who each have a "right of survivorship". As such, each Joint Accountholder agrees to assign such Account balances (both Crypto Asset and cash) to the other Joint Accountholder (or to the others jointly if there are more than two Joint Accountholders) in the event of a death. After a Joint Accountholder’s death, NDAX will only have continuing obligations with respect to the Account to the surviving accountholder(s). If one Joint Accountholder is declared mentally incompetent, the legally appointed representative of the mentally incompetent Joint Accountholder has the same right of access, and authorization, to the Joint Account as did the mentally incompetent Joint Accountholder.
   3. For each Joint Account, each Joint Accountholder will be able to access the Platform, using shared User login information, either through an Internet browser or through any NDAX Companion App on a mobile device. Each Joint Accountholder will receive the same information about the Joint Account. Each Joint Accountholder authorizes NDAX to communicate with any one Joint Accountholder regarding matters associated with the Joint Account. Any notices or statements will be effective and binding on all Joint Accountholders when they are provided to any one Joint Accountholder via electronic means to any one of the Joint Accountholders at the email address on file for the Account.
   4. To make account ownership change(s) on a Joint Account, or to remove a Joint Accountholder you must contact NDAX customer service directly. It may take up to five (5) business days for the account ownership changes to take effect in the Account settings or the NDAX Companion App. This means that a Joint Accountholder may be able to view the Account, execute trades through the Account, request withdrawals, and initiate deposits from the Account, until the corresponding change is made in the Account.

1. You agree that NDAX may adjust your Account balance for any deposit, transfer or encoding error of either Crypto Assets or cash, even if you have already withdrawn all of part of the balance error; though NDAX reserves the right not to do so. NDAX may adjust the Account transaction record, and / or Account balance to correct amounts that we believe were credited to your Account by mistake or that we suspect could be the result of illegal, fraudulent, unauthorized, or improper activity. You agree to waive presentment for payment, notice of dishonor, protest, and notice of protest on all Crypto Asset or cash balances made in error and requiring such action.
2. If you receive Crypto Assets or cash to your Account in error, you are liable to return the amount received in error. NDAX may apply a credit (positive) balance of cash, or Crypto Assets, in any of your Accounts (whether individual or Joint Accounts) against any debt or liability either of which you may owe to NDAX, including debts or liability pursuant to deposit, transfer or coding errors where you have withdrawn any amount of Crypto Asset or cash that was credited to your account in error.
3. NDAX is not responsible for any loss of Crypto Assets resulting from the transfer of a Crypto Asset to NDAX via an underlying network that NDAX does not support. The User must verify that the transaction network selected for any movement of Crypto Assets is compatible with NDAX’s receiving wallet. NDAX’s wallet receives a Crypto Asset via that Crypto Asset’s native blockchain network, only. For greater clarity, where a Crypto Asset traded by NDAX has multiple supporting blockchain networks, NDAX will only support the receiving network upon which the Crypto Asset’s coinbase transactions occur. E.g. for a Crypto Asset supported by both the ERC-20 and BEP-20 networks, NDAX will only be able to receive that Crypto Asset if transferred on the network upon which the Crypto Asset was initially mined or made; NDAX in-fact does not support BEP-20, therefore the Crypto Asset will only be received if transferred on the ERC-20 network. A User should contact NDAX support staff directly to confirm supported blockchain networks.
4. NDAX may exercise its rights pursuant to clause 9.2 in any manner it considers necessary, which may include selling Crypto Assets to settle a cash or Crypto Asset debt, without first giving notice and regardless of whether the Accounts are individual or Joint Accounts. This right operates despite any demands that may have been made by a third party. This right is in addition to any set-off or consolidation rights which NDAX may have at law or in equity.
5. NDAX may freeze or close your Account without notice if required by law, if at any time NDAX has reasonable grounds to believe that you did or may commit fraud or any illegal activity, if you are a victim of fraud or identity theft in order to prevent future losses, if you use the Account for any unlawful or improper purpose, or in a way that will cause harm or a loss to NDAX, if you operate the Account in a manner unsatisfactory to NDAX or contrary to this Agreement, or if you violate the terms of any NDAX policy that relates to the Account.

1. NDAX facilitates a marketplace for the User to buy, sell, and trade Crypto Assets. Although trades are either matched with other Users or are entered into with NDAX, each transaction also results in a contract between you and NDAX. This contract is referred to as a “Crypto Contract”. NDA maintains an internal ledger that records all of the trades.
2. Securities, investment contracts, or any other form of financial instruments classified by law as a “Security” are not traded on the NDAX platform. Therefore, any Crypto Assets available for purchase through the NDAX trading platform will not grant any rights, remedies, or other protections associated with ownership of securities.
3. NDAX makes every effort to maintain a fair marketplace, and to ensure that listed Crypto Assets trade with minimal disruptions at fair market value; however, NDAX cannot be held accountable for any form of “market manipulation” whether it occurs within the NDAX marketplace, or the general Crypto Asset marketplace. The User agrees with the following:
   1. More so than other securities and commodities, Crypto Asset prices are often unpredictable and volatile due to a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to government interference, market conditions, and the operations of other Crypto Asset trading platforms, speculation, and media coverage. NDAX shall have no liability for fluctuations in the market value of listed Crypto Assets or for User transactions that deviate from fair market value.
   2. The liquidity, trading volume, market dynamics, and market depth of any listed Crypto Asset can change rapidly and without notice. NDAX does not guarantee liquidity, a price minimum for Crypto Assets, or that a continuous two-sided market will be made or guaranteed for any listed Crypto Asset. In order to provide some liquidity to the market, NDAX participates passively as a liquidity provider by posting bid and ask orders. NDAX’s passive liquidity provision activities do not have an unreasonable advantage over you as the matching engine on the central limit order book that powers NDAX’s trading platform does not distinguish between NDAX’s orders and your orders. NDAX’s passive liquidity provision algorithm also does not analyze or consider, or have any advanced knowledge of, any existing orders on the centralized order book when determining the bids or asks to place. In determining what bids or asks to place, NDAX relies on current market pricing provided to NDAX by its liquidity providers.
   3. The price of Crypto Assets traded on the NDAX platform result directly from buy and sell orders placed by the User and other NDAX Users on the NDAX platform. These prices are not set nor are the prices controlled by NDAX.
   4. The User is solely responsible for any trading decisions made. NDAX only provides information surrounding the types of Crypto Assets available for trading on the NDAX platform. NDAX provides no advice relating to buy or sell orders, assumes no responsibility for any action that is taken in the course of using the Website, mobile apps, and API, or any actions taken outside of NDAX.
4. Market information displayed on the Website is not delayed. However, in the case of network outage or similar situation, NDAX bears no responsibility for any outcomes or consequences that may arise.
5. In order to maintain a fair market place and to avoid situations of “market manipulation”, in the event of any verifiable disruption or malfunction in the use or operation of any electronic communications and trading facilities of the NDAX platform, in which the nullification or modification of transactions may be necessary for the maintenance of a fair and orderly market or the protection of investors and the public interest exist, a qualified representative of NDAX, on his or her own motion and reasonable discretion, may review such transactions and declare such transactions arising out of the use or operation of such facilities during such period null and void or modify the terms of these transactions, in accordance with the maintenance of a fair and orderly market place. The qualified NDAX representative, absent extraordinary circumstances, must initiate action upon knowledge of the occurrence of an event of any verifiable disruption or malfunction in the use or operation of any electronic communications and trading facilities of the NDAX platform. Each User involved in the transaction shall be notified as soon as practicable by NDAX.
6. For greater certainty, the User expressly agrees, that in order to maintain a fair market place and to avoid situations of “market manipulation”, NDAX may nullify, reverse, bust, or cancel a transaction or adjust the execution price of a transaction if a deliberate attempt at “market manipulation” is identified or if there is an event of a verifiable disruption or malfunction in the use or operation of any electronic communications and trading facilities of the NDAX platform.

1. In order to trade via the Services, you must first transfer Fiat Funds into your Account using one of the payment methods available on the Website, such as e-transfer, bank draft, or wire transfer. NDAX does not accept cash transactions. You may be charged fees when transferring Fiat Funds to your Account depending on the method used. NDAX is not responsible for these fees. NDAX makes no guarantee regarding the time it may take to transfer Fiat Funds into your Account.
2. All Fiat Funds held in your NDAX Account are kept in a segregated bank account separate from NDAX’s operating capital. Any proceeds from the sale (less any transaction fees) of Crypto Assets are credited to a User’s Fiat Fund account. There will be no interest paid on any Fiat Fund balances kept in the User’s Fiat Fund account on NDAX.
3. Provided that a User holds a sufficient balance in your Account, you may request to withdrawal Fiat Funds or Crypto Asset from your Account. NDAX will, upon your request, withdraw Fiat Funds or Crypto Asset from your Account, less any fees charged in accordance with the Fee Structure. NDAX reserves the right to process and send, whether initiated by you or not, a withdrawal, whether in Fiat Funds or Crypto Asset, at any time. NDAX will not process orders for withdrawal of Fiat Funds or Crypto Asset to the account of a third-party that is not the account of the authorized User.
4. The User expressly agrees, acknowledges, and understands NDAX’s fee structure regarding trading, deposits, and withdrawals and the User acknowledges that this is subject to change at any time, and from time to time, at the sole discretion of NDAX.

1. NDAX Users can purchase, sell, transfer in, withdraw, and hold any of the Crypto Assets listed on the NDAX trading platform.
2. The User receives the full rights, interests and title to all Crypto Assets purchased by the User upon completion of the purchase, and such transaction is reflected in the User’s Account immediately. Unless the User elects to take immediate delivery of any Crypto Asset owned by the User into a digital wallet controlled by the User, the User agrees that NDAX will act as the User’s custodian in connection with the Crypto Assets that are owned by the User and that are on the NDAX platform. Should a User deposit Crypto Assets to the NDAX wallet, then NDAX become the custodian of those Crypto Assets.
3. If NDAX acts as a User’s custodian, then legal title of the Crypto Assets that NDAX custodies on behalf of the User is held by us, and beneficial ownership of such Crypto Assets resides with the User. Legal title to a Crypto Asset is reflected by the last known record of the transaction on the applicable blockchain. Beneficial ownership of such Crypto Assets, and the ability to control the Crypto Assets, remains with the User. All Crypto Assets that NDAX custodies for Users are held in an omnibus account in NDAX’s name, separate and distinct from NDAX’s own Crypto Assets and the Crypto Assets of NDAX’s affiliates. NDAX’s books and records will show, at all times, that such Crypto Assets belong to the User, are held by NDAX on behalf of the User in NDAX’s capacity as custodian of the User, and are separate from the Crypto Assets that belong to NDAX. While NDAX has legal title to a User’s Crypto Assets, the User controls those Crypto Assets and the User must authorize any transaction or action taken in respect of those Crypto Assets. NDAX agrees that NDAX does not, and will not, use a User’s Crypto Assets that NDAX custodies in the conduct of NDAX’s own business. For greater certainty and without limitation, NDAX agrees that NDAX does not, and will not, trade, lend, borrow, grant a security interest or lien over or otherwise use any of a User’s Crypto Assets that NDAX custodies in the conduct of NDAX’s own business.
4. NDAX utilizes state of the art security systems for custody solutions, numerous internal controls, systems, and safeguards to ensure User Crypto Asset is safe and securely custodied, and protected against cybersecurity, fraud, or related custody risk. Such measures include, but are not limited to risk management technology and tools, order management systems, internal controls and systems, extensive background checks, hiring and screening processes and procedures, limiting access to information to only key individuals, segregated bank accounts held in trust at regulated banking institutions for User fiat balances, third party technology solution providers for wallet infrastructure and custody services, including cold, hot and warm storage solutions, geographically separated secure deposit of private keys, tamper-proof private key management systems, multi-party computation, and multi-signature technology, safeguards against single point of failure risk, and the use of external legal counsel for holding keys and codes under trust conditions. While NDAX works diligently to ensure all custody related risks are mitigated it cannot guarantee a disruption free trading platform. Disruptions to platform operations could result in investor loss or delays when executing transactions or withdrawing Crypto Assets.
5. While NDAX maintains full custody of User Crypto Assets, User data and trading information may be turned over to governmental authorities in the event of a User account closure or suspension arising from fraud, or other accusation or investigation into a legal violation, or a violation of these term.
6. NDAX’s Services and marketplace are a way to buy and sell Crypto Assets, but are not intended to be a long-term custodial solution for your Crypto Assets. NDAX’s Services provide convenient functionality for you to initiate a blockchain-registered transaction in order to move your Crypto Assets into personal custody. You agree to use this functionality promptly for the Crypto Assets you do not intend to buy or sell.

1. All orders (excluding over-the-counter (OTC) orders) are placed by Users directly on the NDAX online trading platform. Every order placed on the NDAX online trading platform will be executed on a best execution basis, obtaining the best possible execution based on the current market conditions.
2. NDAX accepts User orders only on an unsolicited basis and does not provide any investment advice, recommendation, nor does NDAX provide investment strategies. No orders are reviewed by NDAX for suitability.
3. All buy and sell orders are deemed to be final and not reversible. NDAX accepts no liability or responsibility for any incorrect order entered by Users.
4. In cases where the prevailing market represents prices different from the prices we have posted on our platform, NDAX will attempt, on a best efforts basis, to execute orders on or close to the prevailing market prices. This may or may not adversely affect the User’s realized and unrealized gains and losses.
5. NDAX reserves the right to unilaterally cancel a Crypto Asset trade that deviates ten (10) percent or more from the Crypto Asset’s fair market vale (as determined at the sole discretion of NDAX). NDAX also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to establish trading price collars that set limits on executed trades for Crypto Asset price movements outside of predefined spreads. Any trades by Users outside of established price collars, or predefined spreads, will be rejected and not executed.
6. NDAX reserves the right to establish limitations on the maximum number of decimals for any listed Crypto Asset including volume and price of trade orders. Further, maximum decimals may be uniquely established for each respective Crypto Asset at NDAX’s sole discretion. A User attempting to execute a trade in contravention of the maximum allowable decimal will have its trade truncated (rounded down) to the maximum decimal allowed. Attempted trades in contravention of the maximum decimal amount will result in an error and the order will not be created or executed.

1. NDAX does not run or control any of the blockchain networks that underlie the supported Crypto Assets. There are a number of aspects of Crypto Assets that can pose risks to a User that are beyond NDAX’s control. We encourage you to carefully read this agreement, the NDAX Website, and learn about Crypto Assets before beginning to buy or sell through the NDAX marketplace.
2. NDAX does not own or control, and make no representations or warranties with respect to, the underlying technology of the Crypto Assets you may purchase or sell using the Services, including those technologies that govern their use. The underlying technology of Crypto Assets may suddenly change such that the new version is no longer compatible with existing versions, or there is otherwise a permanent divergence of the blockchain (a “Fork”), which may impact the value, functionality, and other characteristics such as the name of the Crypto Asset and whether the Services are able to support the Crypto Asset subject to a Fork. We are not responsible for any consequences arising from a Fork, including any losses you may suffer; and, in the event of a Fork, we may temporarily or permanently suspend the operation of the Services (with or without advance notice to you) and, in our sole discretion, decide whether or not to continue supporting trading of the Crypto Asset subject to the Fork.

NDAX Wealth facilitates deep liquidity pools and a large selection of Crypto Assets while providing eligible Users with personalized services that allow them to executive large trades over the counter (OTC), with same day settlement, without price slippage. Eligibility determinations for NDAX Wealth clients will be at the sole discretion of NDAX, who may exercise this discretion, or withhold NDAX Wealth services from any User, for any reason, acting alone.
2. Secure Communication: Users deemed eligible for NDAX Wealth (“NDAX Wealth Users”) will be assigned an account executive. NDAX Wealth Users agree to communicate trade execution information to their account executive via secure communication channels individually established for respective NDAX Wealth Users. An NDAX account executive shall present a quote for an NDAX Wealth trade through a secure communication channel to an NDAX Wealth User, who must provide confirmation of the price via the channel.

1. User-Opt-In: Users in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement may “opt-in” to “stake” their Crypto Assets in third party proof-of-stake transaction validations (“staking”) service (the “staking opt-in service”). Users are not required to use the staking opt-in service. By accessing the staking opt-in service through the settings page associated with their User Account, Users can opt-in to the staking opt-in service. By opting-in to access the staking service, Users accept, in addition to all of the terms and conditions that are otherwise set out in this Agreement, the additional terms and conditions set out in this Section. Users also accept the terms and conditions set out from time to time on the staking opt-in setting page for each specific Crypto Asset. For greater certainty, Users are not required to access the staking opt-in service. In order to access and utilize the staking opt-in service, Users must select eligible Crypto Assets from their User Account. These selected eligible Crypto Assets will then participate in the staking opt-in service. By opting in a portion, or the entire balance, of a User’s Crypto Assets held in the User’s Account, NDAX agrees that it will remit to the User’s Account any staking rewards attributable to the User’s staked Crypto Assets. Users discontinue using the staking opt-in service at any time through the settings page associated with their User Account. If a User discontinues or opts-out of the staking opt-in service, the User may opt-in to the staking opt-in service again at any time.
2. Discretion for Creation and Suspension of Opt-In Services: NDAX may launch additional opt-in services from time to time in its sole discretion. NDAX has the right to terminate, suspend or modify rules concerning any opt-in service in its sole discretion.
3. Disruptions and Errors: While NDAX takes steps to ensure the staking opt-in service is accessible at all times, it cannot guarantee unimpeded or uninterrupted access, nor can it guarantee disruptions or errors. In the case of impeded or interrupted access, disruptions, or errors, any staked Crypto Assets may not generate staking rewards.
4. Rewards and NDAX Role: If a User accesses the staking opt-in service, NDAX or an affiliate will stake the User’s selected Crypto Assets on the User’s behalf, with NDAX or its affiliate acting as a transaction validator on the applicable network for the Crypto Asset selected by the User for staking. If NDAX or its affiliate successfully validates a block of transactions for the Crypto Assets that a User has selected, the User may earn a reward granted by the applicable Crypto Asset network and in accordance with the provisions that apply to that Crypto Asset’s network. Any such earned reward, less NDAX’s fees, will be distributed to the applicable User’s account balance by NDAX after receipt by NDAX or its affiliate of the reward. NDAX reserves the right to charge Users a fee or fees in connection with the Users’ participation in the staking opt-in service. A schedule of these fees, if any, will be made available on or through the NDAX site. Fees are subject to change, at NDAX’s sole discretion, and Users are solely responsible for accessing the fee schedule prior to participating in the staking opt-in service.
5. Risks and User Acknowledgment: NDAX will use reasonable efforts to stake those Crypto Assets selected by Users for the staking opt-in service. Users acknowledge and agree that they have no right to any reward associated with the staking opt-in service unless and until the rewards are received by NDAX or its affiliate pursuant to a successful validation transaction. Only after receipt of the rewards by NDAX or its affiliate will the applicable rewards be transferred to a User’s Account. NDAX DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT A USER WILL RECEIVE ANY SPECIFIC STAKING REWARD OR ANY STAKING RETURN OVER TIME. ANY ESTIMATE OF ANY APPLICABLE STAKING REWARDS PERCENTAGE IS AN ESTIMATE ONLY AND MAY CHANGE AT ANY TIME IN NDAX’S SOLE DISCRETION. FURTHER, ANY SUCH ESTIMATE MAY BE MORE OR LESS THAN THE ACTUAL STAKING REWARDS RECEIVED FROM THE APPLICABLE NETWORK OR PROTOCOL. Users acknowledge that NDAX provides Users with opt-in access only for the staking opt-in service, and NDAX bears no liability for losses incurred by any User because of the User’s use of this staking opt-in service, including any such loss resulting from on-chain contract security breaches. A Crypto Asset network may determine that the staking opt-in service has been erroneously operated. Any such determination is outside of the control of NDAX. Such a determination may result in a “slashing penalty” and/or non-payment of the expected staking rewards. NDAX has no obligation to compensate any User for any slashing penalties incurred in connection with the staking opt-in service.
6. No Advice, No Relationship: The staking opt-in service is subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which terms are subject to change. The tax treatment of certain Crypto Asset transactions is uncertain and it the responsibility of Users to determine what taxes, if any, arise from all transactions with their Crypto Assets, including staking. Users are solely responsible for reporting and paying all taxes arising from their Crypto Assets, including from staking. NDAX does not provide any investment, legal or tax advice to any User in connection with the staking opt-in service or otherwise. Users should conduct their own due diligence and consult their own advisors before making any decision to participate in the staking opt-in service. Neither a User’s NDAX Account balance, nor any of a User’s staked Crypto Assets, are eligible for deposit insurance or any protection from either the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Canadian Investor Protection Fund.
7. No Deposit: Users acknowledge and agree that NDAX does not represent itself to be, nor is it regulated as, a bank, trust company or other depositary institution. A User’s Account is not a bank account or a deposit account.
8. Legislative and Regulatory Changes: Provincial and federal legislative or regulatory changes, rules, interpretations, and judicial decisions may affect NDAX’s ability to offer the staking opt-in service and could adversely affect the value, use and transfer of a User’s Crypto Assets, the operations of any NDAX service, including the staking opt-in service, the tax treatment of the staking opt-in service, and a User’s ability to cease the staking opt-in service in an expeditious manner.
9. Staked ETH: The Ethereum protocol is transitioning to the Ethereum 2.0 network. Until that transition is completed, staked ETH and ETH staking rewards will be locked on the Ethereum protocol. The timing of this transition is unknown; it may take years or it may never occur. NDAX has no control whatsoever over this process or when the lockup period will end. NDAX does not guarantee in any way that the upgrade to the Ethereum network will be successful and Users should understand that if the network upgrade ultimately fails, a User may lose all, or a portion, of the ETH staked by that User. NDAX will not be responsible for any ETH lost as a result of a network upgrade failure.
   Unlike NDAX’s other staking services, a User is not able to “opt out” of ETH staking once the User has staked ETH until the transition to the Ethereum 2.0 Network is completed. As stated above, the length of this lock-up period is unknown. A User will not be able to trade, transfer or otherwise access the User’s staked ETH during the lockup period. Any rewards earned while staking ETH remain locked onchain until the Ethereum network upgrade is completed. When a User stakes ETH, NDAX will credit the User’s account with staked ETH and the applicable staking rewards consistent with this Agreement and the rules of the Ethereum network. ETH staking rewards reflected in the User’s account prior to completion of the network upgrade are an estimate based on a combination of reward rates and the period of time for which the User has staked ETH (less any NDAX fees). Rewards will be reflected in a User’s account, but may not be actually credited until the end of the lockup period. Newly staked ETH is subject to a bonding period before earning rewards.
