Hard Fork Policy

Blockchain protocols may undergo changes known as “hard forks”, which can result in the creation of a new blockchain version or split. This policy explains how OonDex manages hard forks and outlines our approach to asset support, listing, and user notification.

1. What is a Hard Fork?

A hard fork occurs when a blockchain network undergoes an upgrade or modification that is not backward-compatible. This often leads to two separate versions of the chain — the original and a new chain, each potentially having its own tokens or coins.

2. OonDex’s General Stance

OonDex will not automatically support every hard fork or airdrop. Our priority is to maintain platform security, protect user funds, and ensure compliance.

We will assess each hard fork case individually based on:

  • Security and stability of the new chain

  • Development and community support

  • Market demand and liquidity

  • Regulatory compliance

  • Technical feasibility

3. Supported vs. Unsupported Forks

✅ Supported Forks

If OonDex decides to support a hard fork:

  • We may credit new coins to users holding the original token at the time of the fork (snapshot).

  • We may list the forked token for trading, subject to risk review.

  • We will announce support timelines, wallet status, and distribution plans.

❌ Unsupported Forks

If OonDex does not support the fork:

  • Users will not receive the forked assets.

  • The new chain’s token will not be listed or traded on OonDex.

  • Users may still access forked coins by withdrawing their original assets to a private wallet before the snapshot.

4. Snapshot Timing

OonDex will announce the snapshot date and time (block height) if we plan to support the fork. Users must hold the relevant crypto on OonDex before the snapshot to be eligible for forked coins.

Note: Deposits and withdrawals may be paused temporarily before and after the fork to ensure fund safety.

5. No Guarantee Clause

Due to the complexity and risks associated with hard forks (e.g., replay attacks, scam forks, chain instability), OonDex does not guarantee:

  • Receipt of forked coins

  • Specific listing timelines

  • Availability of wallet services for forked assets

6. Communication

We will provide official announcements regarding:

  • Whether the fork will be supported or not

  • How and when forked coins will be distributed (if applicable)

  • Wallet and trading availability

7. User Responsibility

If you want full control of any forked coins:

  • Withdraw your assets from OonDex to a personal wallet before the snapshot.

  • Manage the forked chain independently outside the OonDex platform.

8. Final Decision

All decisions related to hard forks are final and made solely by OonDex. We reserve the right to change our stance at any time based on evolving circumstances.
