Terms of Service

1. What This Is

Lime ENS is a free service that lets you register an offchain ENS subname under lime.dev. It is provided as a technology showcase and public experiment — there is nothing to buy as an end user.

These terms apply to individual end users only. If you represent a company or team interested in deploying offchain ENS infrastructure, separate B2B terms apply — contact us at [email protected].

2. How It Works

Subnames are offchain by default — no gas required. They are controlled by EIP-712 signatures and stored on our backend. One subname per wallet. Names are valid for one year and can be renewed. You can release your name at any time; names are not transferable.

An optional onchain mint is available as a separate step and is not required for normal use.

Offchain resolution (ENS standards)

Resolution follows the same interfaces as onchain ENS so that wallets and dApps resolve names the same way regardless of where data is stored. Our implementation is based on:

• EIP-3668 (CCIP-Read) — the contract reverts with an OffchainLookup error that includes a gateway URL and calldata; the client performs an HTTP request to that gateway, then calls the resolver callback with the response. This keeps resolution transparent and trustless from the client’s perspective.
• OffchainResolver contract — deployed on supported chains (e.g. Ethereum Mainnet, Sepolia). When a name is resolved, the resolver triggers the CCIP-Read flow; our gateway serves the record data (address, text, content hash, etc.) that was stored offchain and signed with EIP-712.
• Standard ENS record types — we support the usual ENS record types (address, addresses per coin type, text, contenthash, ABI where applicable) so that existing ENS tooling and apps can resolve our subnames without special handling.

Offchain data is stored on our backend and served via the gateway referenced in the resolver. Resolution therefore depends on both the availability of our gateway and the correct configuration of the OffchainResolver contract. If the gateway or backend is changed or discontinued, resolution for these subnames may stop working until restored or migrated.

3. No Warranties

The service is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. We make no guarantees of uptime, data durability, or continued availability. Offchain names depend on our backend and resolver contract — if either is modified or discontinued, name resolution may stop working. Use the service with this in mind.

4. Limitation of Liability

We are not responsible for any losses, damages, or claims arising from your use of this service. This includes but is not limited to: loss of access to a subname, changes to resolution, or service discontinuation. You use this service at your own risk.

5. Content

We may reject or remove names that contain offensive content, impersonation, or clear trademark violations. This is not a contractual commitment — it is a practical measure we reserve the right to apply.

6. Changes

These terms may be updated at any time. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance. The latest version is always at lime.dev/terms.
