Terms of Use

Who makes the game

Desktop Trade Heroes is made and run by an independent developer, known as x0hero (@x0hero on X). It is a personal project made for entertainment. There is no company behind it, no team of employees and no investors.

The developer is not affiliated with, employed by or paid by any token, token team, exchange, wallet or other project that appears in the game or that you may trade while playing.

What the game is

The game shows a pixel hero on your Windows taskbar. It reads the public trades of the wallet address you link, shows them over your hero, puts your hero in a world with other players who hold or trade the same token, and turns your buys into hits on that world's boss.

The game is free to play. It never holds your funds. The app never connects to your wallet and never sends a transaction for you; everything it knows about your wallet is public information from the Solana blockchain. The one place a wallet connects is the burn page for optional item boxes, where you approve a single burn yourself.

Your wallet

To link a wallet, you sign one short message on a page the game opens. The signature proves that the address is yours; it is not a transaction. You are responsible for your wallet, its keys and anything done with it. The game can never recover a wallet, a key or a seed phrase, and it will never ask for one.

Only sign a page that your own game opened. If someone sends you a link to sign, it is not us. See the Wallet safety page.

Items, progress and rankings

Items, forge levels, elements, boss damage, kills, loot and rankings are records on the game server tied to your wallet address. They are not tokens, not NFTs and not on any blockchain. They have no monetary value, cannot be sold, transferred or withdrawn, and exist only inside the game.

The game is young. Rules, item stats, odds and rankings can change with any update, and early progress may be adjusted or reset when a rule is fixed. The developer will say so when it happens, but cannot promise that any record stays as it is.

Tokens in the game

Every token traded on Solana can become a world in the game, because the game reads public trades. A world existing is not an endorsement of that token, a statement about its value or a relationship with its creators. The developer does not control, review, promote or vouch for any of those tokens and is not responsible for what happens to them or to your trades.

$HEROES is the game's own community token. It is used only for optional extras inside the game. It is not an investment, carries no promise of value, profit, listing or future use, and may not be available where you live. Whether to buy, hold or sell it is your decision alone. Read the token page and the Disclaimer.

Paid extras

Item boxes and callouts to every world are paid by burning $HEROES: the tokens are destroyed on chain and nobody receives them. A burn cannot be undone, so there are no refunds. What a box contains is random; the odds are published on the item boxes page, and an item you already own may drop again.

If you burned tokens and did not get what you paid for because of a problem on our side, write to @x0hero with the burn signature and the developer will deliver it.

Fair play

Do not:

• fake trades, trade with yourself or through pools you control to hit bosses, or otherwise game the fights and rankings;
• run bots, modified clients or scripts against the game server, or try to break its limits;
• use callouts for scams, harassment, hate, spam or links to anything harmful;
• pretend to be the developer or the game, or sell anything as if it came from the game.

The developer may remove callouts, undo gains, reset progress or block a wallet address or installation that breaks these rules, without notice.

Availability and changes

The game is provided as it is, as a hobby project. It can change, pause or stop at any time, servers can be down, updates can introduce bugs, and features can be removed. The developer does not promise that the game will keep running, keep any feature or keep any record.

No warranty, no liability

The game is provided without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the developer is not liable for any loss or damage arising from the game or the website: trading losses, token price movements, lost or reset items and progress, downtime, errors in the software, or anything done with your wallet by you or anyone else.

Nothing in the game or on the website is financial, investment, legal or tax advice. You use the game at your own risk and you alone decide what to trade.

Content and ownership

The game's art, names, characters, text and code belong to the developer. You may take screenshots and videos of the game and share them anywhere. You may not copy the game, sell it or pass it off as yours, or take it apart to cheat.

Age

The game involves cryptocurrency trading that you do with your own wallet. Use it only if you are old enough to trade cryptocurrency where you live and allowed to do so.

Changes to these terms

These terms can change when the game changes. The date at the top shows the current version. Playing after a change means you accept the new terms. Questions go to @x0hero on X.
