The Details

Welcome to Blocto, a mobile application ("App") that allows users ("Users" or "you") to conveniently and securely access blockchain, use decentralised apps ("DApps"), send and receive crypto and digital assets ("Assets").

Blocto is owned and operated by portto Co., Ltd. ("portto", "we", "us" and "our").

Please read the following Terms Of Use (the "Terms") carefully. By signing up to, accessing, or using Blocto, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you shall not access or use Blocto.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Unlike traditional decentralized wallets, Blocto offers its Users a tool to conveniently and securely sign transactions ("Transactions") from multiple devices with no private key for Users to manage ("Private Key"). Blocto uses a mix model of Private Key management and a multi-signature wallet to sign transactions. Once User signs a transaction, Blocto helps put it on blockchain and pay for the transaction fees incurred.

In case Users’ devices are unavailable — e.g. if the device is broken or stolen — Blocto provides a way to assist Users to securely retrieve their device key by using email verification. The recovery process will be available to Users provided they have fully completed the email registration process in accordance with the instructions presented on Blocto.

Users have an option to transform their Blocto wallet into a fully decentralized wallet. Blocto will help Users complete the process and backup the new Private Key securely. Once the process is complete, Blocto will no longer be able to help those Users retrieve their Private Key and will no longer take any responsibility if such Users lose their Private Key afterwards.

Through Blocto, Users can also access and view the balance of their Assets. The fiat value of User’s Assets as displayed through Blocto is only an estimate depending on relevant exchange rates of Fiat Currency and the valuation of crypto and digital assets which are constantly changing. Portto does not warrant nor does it make any representations as to the accuracy of the fiat value displayed through Blocto. For the avoidance of any doubt, "Fiat Currency" means any currency issued by a central bank of sovereign countries, such as the US Dollar, Euro, etc.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS

Blocto is not intended as, and does not provide, any investment or financial advice whatsoever. With respect to any financial or investment decisions, it is strongly recommended that you conduct your own research and due diligence investigation, to properly evaluate the benefits and risks of any investment or financial transaction. It is also strongly recommended that you seek the advice and guidance of qualified accountants, financial advisors, tax advisors, legal counsels and investment advisors, in connection with any investment or financial transaction.
