The web version of UBD Network is available at ubdn.com

UBD Network is a United Blockchain Dollar Network smart contract system featuring support for trust contract ("TrustCon"). It can act as a UBD Network operating system ("UBDN OS") user environment as it supports an end-to-end decentralization (E2ED) framework.

Please carefully read this Policy to understand the definitions of UBD Network, United Blockchain Network, UBD, UBD Network OS, E2ED and TrustCon, including UBD Network’s personal data processing guidelines.

As a user of the Services you have a limited, personal, non-commercial, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and a potentially revocable license to use UBD Network. UBD Network users are required to follow some basic rules, including, but not limited to, never using UBD Network for illegal purposes.

United Blockchain Dollar Network is a departure from usual blockchain designs. It is your responsibility to learn and understand how United Blockchain Dollar Network operates in order to protect your digital assets and safely navigate through the various and diverse features of the UBD Network.

Unlike other blockchains, United Blockchain Dollar Network associates all wallet addresses with a computer code. For purposes of this Policy, this code will be referred to as a "Smart Contract" or "Trust Contract" depends on use. Please remember that every transaction is an execution of a Smart or Trust Contract code by the blockchain. In this sense, United Blockchain Dollar Network is more of a distributed computer than a record keeper.

United Blockchain Dollar Network utilizes several native cryptocurrencies or UBD Network currencies. Collectively they are the Currency Collection. The base cryptocurrency of the United Blockchain Dollar Network is the "United Blockchain Dollar" token, exchange ticker symbol "UBD", that is necessary to operate since it is used to charge fees for transactions and to create or renew Trust Contracts and it’s maintenance. United Blockchain Dollar is also a stable coin which is backed by the amount of funds that is kept in the UBD Network Attractor. As a result, the issuance of the United Blockchain Dollar occurs during the contribution to the United Blockchain Dollar Attractor.

Another token is called "United Blockchain Dollar Network" or simply «UBDN». This token is vital for operation of the whole system since it is used for the functioning of decentralized system. The whole system of UBD Network operates while decentralized nodes or so-called Keepers support the work of the United Blockchain Network. If Keepers stop working it may terminate the operation of the whole system and as a result User’s assets could be temporary frozen.

One of UBD Network Web features is an internal Decentralized Exchange (DEx) to exchange digital assets for «UBD» and «UBDN» tokens.

All UBD Network interactions send and receive Messages. For example, to send someone digital assets you need to create a message, sign it with your cryptographic key(s), and then send it to a Smart Contract that holds those digital assets. This Smart Contract executes the instructions dictated in the Message and transfers coins to another smart contract. Everything in UBD Network is based on interactions between Smart Contracts and Trust Contracts .

It is critical to understand that UBD Network is not a Wallet. UBD Network is a client software that facilitates your interaction with the United Blockchain Dollar Network by helping you do the following:

  • safely create and manage Secret Keys (described below) on your device;
  • deploy your Smart Contracts, including your Wallet Smart Contract;
  • interact with UBD Network Smart Contracts by creating, signing and sending Messages;
  • deploy your Trust Contracts and create Vaults;
  • review and analyze events in United Blockchain Network;
  • provide other services.

By using UBD Network you acknowledge and agree that UBD Network does not store or transmit digital assets. UBD Network only transmits Messages. Any transfer involving any digital asset occurs on United Blockchain Network.

Once you created a Trust Contract via UBD Network it can be modified through the renewal of the Contract. You must be certain that the Smart Contract or Trust Contract associated with any transaction has enough digital assets to cover all necessary fees associated with the transaction prior to executing it. You acknowledge and agree that UBD Network and any of its affiliates shall not be held liable for any failed transactions.

Secret Keys & Seed Phrase

Secret or private keys are crucial to your operations with regard to the United Blockchain Dollar Network. They are used to sign Messages that interact with Smart and Trust Contracts in United Blockchain Network. These keys protect all of your UBD Network digital assets.

To use UBD Network Web you must either import or create a private key. Creation of your private key is executed through the United Blockchain Network and located only on your device and likewise stored only on that device.

UBD Network Web can not hold, store, or recover your key(s). UBD Network Web has no way to recover your key(s) if you lose it/them.

You bear full responsibility for storing your private keys and any mnemonic (backup) phrase associated with those keys in a safe place where you can recover them; otherwise, you risk losing control over any and all digital assets that are associated with those private keys, forever.

UBD Network has no means to help you recover your password or secret key since UBD Network does not have them!
All users, especially those with high value wallet balances, are highly encouraged to:

  • Use the "Backup Password" function. Here’s how:

1. Navigate to the "Safety Protection" page of your Profile in UBD Network WEB.

2. Find the "Addresses and Keys" section where you can reveal your private key.

Keys are a complex sequence of symbols. Do not try to write these down "as-is". You risk making a mistake and losing all of your digital assets.

  • Use the "Backup Password" feature, Seed phrase. This feature provides you with a 12/24-word sequence (also called a mnemonic phrase). These 12/24 words are a mnemonic representation of your private key.
  • Write this mnemonic phrase, Seed phrase, down and store it in a secure location. You can always check if you wrote the phrase down correctly by using the "Saved, go check" button.

End-to-End Decentralization

Smart & Trust Contracts

Smart Contacts as well as Trust Contracts are computer programs that are executed on the blockchain and verified by its consensus protocol to perform a so called verifiable computation.

As explained above, UBD Network Web is a Smart Contract client. In that sense, any true UBD Network software is a smart contract client. UBD Network Web can manage any UBD Network Smart Contract and interact with it, provided that it has a special declaration file, or the so-called UBD Network ABI (UBDN Application Binary Interface). The UBD Network ABI version that UBD Network Web supports is covered in official documentation available at ubdn.com .

It is crucial to mention that User who creates Trust Contract creates his own Trust Terms that can’t be altered, changed or canceled by anyone else. UBDN does not have any access to User’s Trust and its Terms. The only one who can change, cancel or alter Trust and Trust Terms is the User who created Trust Contract.
