📜 Legal & Compliance

Solana MVP operates in the complex regulatory landscape of decentralized finance (DeFi) and cryptocurrency trading. As an open-source tool, it is designed to comply with applicable laws while empowering users to take responsibility for their regulatory obligations. Below are the key legal and compliance considerations.

Licensing

  • License: MIT License, allowing free use, modification, and distribution of the software.

  • Implications: Users can fork and customize the codebase, but xAI provides no warranties or liabilities.

  • Recommendation: Review the MIT License (LICENSE) before use.

User Responsibilities

  • KYC/AML: Users must comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations in their jurisdiction. Solana MVP does not perform KYC, as it is a decentralized tool.

  • Tax Compliance: Users are responsible for reporting profits to tax authorities (e.g., IRS in the U.S., HMRC in the U.K.).

  • Jurisdictional Laws: Trading activities, including MEV optimization and frontrunning, may be regulated in certain jurisdictions (e.g., U.S. SEC, EU MiFID II). Users must ensure compliance with local laws.

  • Sanctions: Users must not use the software in sanctioned jurisdictions (e.g., North Korea, Iran) or for prohibited activities.

MEV and Frontrunning

  • Legal Status: MEV optimization and frontrunning are common in DeFi but may face scrutiny under securities or market manipulation laws in some regions.

  • Mitigation: Solana MVP uses Jito’s Block Engine, which operates transparently within Solana’s consensus rules. Users should consult legal counsel to assess risks.

  • Recommendation: Enable anti-bot randomization to minimize regulatory exposure.

Data Privacy

  • Implementation: No user data is collected or stored by team. All operations (e.g., key storage, API calls) are local to the user’s device.

  • Compliance: Aligns with GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations by avoiding data processing.

  • Recommendation: Use encrypted storage (wallet_manager.rs) to protect sensitive inputs.

Open-Source Compliance

  • Third-Party Libraries: All dependencies (e.g., solana-sdk, ring) are open-source with compatible licenses (MIT, Apache 2.0).

  • Contribution Guidelines: Contributors must agree to the MIT License and avoid introducing proprietary code.

  • Audits: Community audits on GitHub ensure compliance with open-source standards.

Disclaimer

Solana MVP is provided “as is” without warranties. Our team is not responsible for financial losses, regulatory violations, or misuse of the software. Users should:
