Terms & Conditions
Last updated: January 2025
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing and using the Solana Staking Tax Calculator ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service.
2. Description of Service
The Service is a tool that helps users calculate their Solana staking rewards and corresponding USD values for tax reporting purposes. The Service queries public blockchain data and historical price information to generate reports.
The Service offers the following tiers:
- Basic (Free) - Limited to 1 wallet and 6 months of history
- Premium Yearly ($29/year) - Up to 5 wallets, unlimited history, expires after 1 year
- Premium Lifetime ($99 one-time) - Up to 5 wallets, unlimited history, never expires
Premium subscriptions can be purchased using SOL, USDC, or USDT on the Solana network.
3. Wallet Connection & Non-Custodial Nature
Non-Custodial Service
The Service allows you to connect your Solana wallet (e.g., Phantom, Solflare, Coinbase Wallet, Ledger) for identity verification and Premium subscription payments. It is important to understand:
- We never have access to your private keys. Your wallet connection uses industry-standard protocols that only allow us to view your public address and request transaction signatures.
- We cannot move your funds. Any transaction (such as a Premium subscription payment) requires your explicit approval in your wallet application.
- We do not custody any assets. All your SOL, tokens, and staked assets remain entirely under your control in your own wallet at all times.
- Wallet connection is optional. You can use the Basic tier by manually entering wallet addresses without connecting a wallet.
4. Premium Subscription Payments
When purchasing a Premium subscription:
- Payments are processed on the Solana blockchain as standard token transfers
- You will be asked to approve the transaction in your connected wallet
- Payment amounts are displayed in USD equivalent at the time of purchase
- All payments are final and non-refundable due to the nature of blockchain transactions
- Your subscription status is linked to your wallet address
- Yearly subscriptions expire after 365 days from purchase
- Lifetime subscriptions never expire and include a special "Lifetime Member" badge on CSV exports
