Terms of Use
Last updated: November 2026
GenKaKu is experimental software: two plugins for DeepSeek Harness, plus the contracts and this website. These terms describe what that software does and what it does not promise while the protocol is on testnet. They also state the platform's role: it matches users and workers and nothing more, and the funds move through smart contracts rather than through us.
A matching interface, not a counterparty
GenKaKu is a technology marketplace. It publishes software and a public directory that let a user and a worker find each other and agree a price. It is not a broker, dealer, exchange, payment processor, escrow agent or counterparty to any session. The agreement for a session is between the user and the worker alone: GenKaKu Labs is not a party to it, does not set or negotiate its terms, and cannot amend or enforce it.
Funds move only through smart contracts
Every payment is executed by the JobEscrow contract on Base, a public blockchain. The deposit, the 99/1 split and the payout are carried out automatically by that contract's code, and each step is a public transaction anyone can read. GenKaKu Labs never receives, holds, controls or transmits user or worker funds, keeps no balance for you, and cannot freeze, reverse, redirect or refund a transfer. The 1% fee is a constant in the contract, not a payment we collect on anyone's behalf. No support channel can undo a transfer the chain has already confirmed.
Content, filtering and the model you run
GenKaKu operates no content filter of its own: a prompt is not inspected by us before it reaches a worker. Any filtering comes from upstream — the model publisher's usage policy and any safety behaviour built into the model, and the inference runtime (Ollama) or hosting layer that serves it — and from the worker operator, who sees each request and may refuse or stop serving it. You are responsible for the prompts you send and for complying with the model's license and acceptable-use terms. Nothing here obliges a worker to serve a request, or obliges us to police one.
Experimental software
The plugins, contracts and website are provided as-is, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. The protocol is on Base Sepolia and handles test assets only. Do not use it to move real funds.
Your keys, your responsibility
Wallets and private keys are generated and stored on your machine, in plain text at ~/.dsh/genkaku/genkaku.keys.json. We never hold them and cannot recover them. A lost key means lost access; there is no support path to restore it.
Worker relationship
Workers are independent operators. GenKaKu does not employ them, guarantee uptime, or guarantee any particular price or earnings. Quotes and availability are set by each worker.
On-chain records
Registrations, sessions and settlements are public and permanent. Nothing written to a chain can be edited or deleted by us, including after you stop using the software.
No financial advice
Nothing on this site is an offer of securities, a promise of returns, or investment advice. USDC on testnet has no value.
Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, GenKaKu Labs is not liable for lost funds, lost keys, lost data, missed earnings, or any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the software or the protocol. You interact with the protocol at your own risk.
Changes and contact
These terms change as the protocol changes; the date above is the version in force. Questions and legal notices: legal@genkaku.app.
