The short version. Spaniel Syndicate is a community art project. You can mint a pixel-art Spaniel NFT through the deterministic public price curve at config/curve.json, hard- capped at 69,420 total. The NFTs are digital collectibles. Spaniels are not investments, do not pay passive income, and do not generate yield. There is an affiliate program for actively referring buyers, and an official secondary marketplace with a flat 2% fee. Nothing here is financial advice. You are buying art on the blockchain — that's it.

1. What this is

Spaniel Syndicate is a community project that ships:

  • A Solana smart contract that mints sequentially-numbered NFTs (the “Spaniels”) priced through the deterministic public price curve in config/curve.json, hard-capped at 69,420 total.
  • A backend service (a Cloudflare Worker) that signs mint quotes, manages affiliate-program data, and serves marketplace listings.
  • An official secondary marketplace at /market with a 2% platform fee.
  • An affiliate program at /affiliate for visitors who want to refer buyers.
  • This website, which hosts the metadata and images and lets you submit transactions to the contract through your wallet.

The website does not custody your SOL, your NFTs, or your keys. Every action that moves value happens through your own wallet and the Solana network. We do not collect email addresses, names, or any personal information; authentication is wallet-only.

2. Eligibility

To use the mint, marketplace, or affiliate program, you must be at least 18 years old and not located in, organized under the laws of, or ordinarily resident in any country, territory, or region subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions (currently including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine). You must not be listed on any U.S. government denied- or restricted-party list.

3. Nature of the mint and the NFTs

The mint is curve-priced. Every Spaniel sells through the deterministic public price curve in config/curve.json, paid directly into a treasury wallet pinned on the on-chain Drop PDA. There is no presale, no whitelist, no team allocation, no vesting, no auctions, no reserved supply, no managerial price adjustment. The total supply is hard-capped at 69,420. Once the cap is reached, the contract refuses further mints. The buyer-pays amount for each mint is computed by a server-signed quote that the on-chain program verifies before settlement; the curve config itself is committed on-chain at the drop's initialization.

The Spaniels are digital collectibles. Each one is a pixel-art image with a sequential mint number; the specific visual variant assigned to a given mint number is randomized on-chain post-mint via ORAO VRF. They are produced and sold for entertainment and cultural purposes. They are not an investment, a passive income vehicle, a security, a yield product, a dividend-bearing instrument, or a staking position. Spaniels do not pay anything by being held. Any economic value you may realize comes from voluntary secondary-market activity, which we do not guarantee.

3a. Affiliate program

Affiliate commissions are compensation for active referrals. The affiliate program at /affiliate issues you a system-generated Barklink. When a buyer mints a Spaniel after arriving via your Barklink within the session window, the on-chain mint program atomically transfers a referral commission to your wallet. The base affiliate rate is 6.9%; holding more Spaniels scales the rate up to a maximum of 69% at 1,000+ Spaniels held, per the quadratic formula documented at /docs/AFFILIATE_PROGRAM.md.

Holding Spaniels increases your affiliate rate; it does not pay anything by itself. The holder-tier mechanic is a business mechanic, not a passive yield, dividend, staking reward, or guaranteed return. You earn only when buyers mint or trade through your link. Spaniels themselves remain digital collectibles, not income-bearing instruments.

Buyers arriving via a valid Barklink receive a 10% discount on the curve sticker price. The discount is constant regardless of the affiliate's tier; it is not a globally advertised public offer. Self-referral is structurally allowed by the program.

3b. Official marketplace

The official marketplace at /market charges a 2% platform fee on every trade. This is a platform fee, not a collection royalty; the Metaplex Core asset record continues to enforce 0% royalties at the protocol level. The 2% fee applies only to trades executed through the official marketplace; peer-to-peer and third-party marketplace transfers are unaffected.

When a buyer arrives at the official marketplace via a valid Barklink session, the referrer receives 50% of the 2% marketplace fee on the resulting trade. The treasury receives the other 50%. When no referral attribution exists, the treasury receives the full 2%. The seller always receives sale price minus 2%.

Listings on the official marketplace are made by holders signing an off-chain order; the marketplace UI relays the order and settlement happens atomically on-chain.

4. No guarantees

The Solana network, this website, and the Spaniel contract are all provided as-is, without any warranty of any kind. Specifically and without limitation:

  • The market for Spaniel NFTs may evaporate. Or never form.
  • Transactions may fail. Networks may degrade. Wallets may misbehave.
  • The mint may produce visual variants you don't personally like.
  • Marketplaces may delist, change fees, or fold entirely.
  • Software has bugs. Even audited software has bugs. We have not been audited.

By interacting with the contract or the website, you accept that these outcomes are possible and that they are your problem. We will not refund mint costs, transaction fees, or rent costs under any circumstance. Mints are non-refundable.

5. Not financial, tax, or legal advice

Nothing on this site is financial advice, investment advice, tax advice, or legal advice. We are not your lawyer, your accountant, or your broker. NFTs and tokens may have tax consequences where you live; consult a qualified professional for your jurisdiction.

6. Intellectual property

The code and unminted art are ours. Once you mint a Spaniel, you receive a transferable license to your specific Spaniel's likeness — personal and commercial. The rights move with the NFT when it transfers. The full terms are in our license; the short version is “ours, except yours, when you hold it.”

7. Termination

We may withdraw, change, or take down the website at any time. The smart contract is on Solana — it will continue to exist and function regardless of the state of this site, the project, or anyone running it. Your NFTs are your NFTs; the chain has the receipts.

8. Disputes

Use of this site is at your own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you waive any claim against the project, its contributors, and the maintainers of this website for any loss arising from your use of the website or the contract.
