5. USDC Wallet & Cryptocurrency

5.1 Wallet Services

Lucilla provides two types of wallets powered by Circle:

Agent Wallet (AI-Managed, Developer-Controlled)

• Purpose: Enable fast, seamless AI-powered transactions without requiring passkey confirmation each time
• How it works: Lucilla holds the wallet keys, allowing the app to automatically process transactions on your behalf
• Best for: Everyday transactions — joining competitions, purchasing content, tipping creators, buying event tickets
• Default limits: $100 per transaction, $100 per day, $500 per week
• Customizable: You can adjust all limits at any time in Wallet > Agent Wallet > Settings
• Your control: You can withdraw funds at any time to your Modular Wallet or external wallet
• Security: Funds are held in Circle's secure infrastructure

Modular Wallet (User-Controlled, Non-Custodial)

• Purpose: Full user control with passkey authentication for larger amounts and long-term storage
• How it works: YOU control your wallet via passkey — only you can authorize transactions
• KYC limits apply: Transaction and withdrawal limits are based on your KYC verification tier (see Section 22)
• Recovery phrase: You can view your recovery phrase in wallet settings to backup your wallet
• Best for: Larger balances, withdrawals, external transfers
• Security: We do not have access to your Modular Wallet funds or private keys

You can use both wallet types simultaneously: Agent Wallet for everyday convenience, Modular Wallet for full control and security. Both wallets are subject to the KYC verification limits set in your Account settings.

5.2 Not a Financial Institution

Lucilla is not a bank, money transmitter, or financial institution. We do not hold deposits, issue loans, or provide financial advisory services. USDC held in your wallet is not insured by the FDIC or any government agency. USDC rewards are not guaranteed investments and should not be treated as such.

5.3 Platform Fees on USDC Transactions

Lucilla deducts platform fees from reward pools and certain transactions. Fee rates are configurable and vary by subscription tier and reward type. Current fee schedules are available in the App and may be updated with 30 days' notice.

5.4 Onramp Providers (Buying USDC)

Lucilla partners with third-party payment processors to allow you to purchase USDC directly in the app:

Coinbase Pay

• Requirements: Must have a Coinbase account
• How it works: Log in to Coinbase, transfer or buy USDC, sent to your Lucilla wallet
• KYC: Already verified through Coinbase
• Fees: 0-2% (FREE for Coinbase One members)
• Limits: Based on your Coinbase account limits

Important:

• Lucilla does NOT process payments directly - all transactions are handled by our onramp partners
• Fees are set by the payment provider, not Lucilla
• You must comply with the onramp provider's Terms of Service
• Payment failures or disputes must be resolved with the provider
• USDC purchases are final and non-refundable once delivered to your wallet

5.5 Risks

• Cryptocurrency values fluctuate
• Blockchain transactions are final and cannot be reversed
• Lost recovery phrases cannot be recovered
• You assume all risks associated with cryptocurrency use

5A. Platform Security & Early Access Program

5A.1 Security Architecture

Lucilla employs multiple layers of security to protect your assets and data:

• Non-custodial wallets: Your wallet keys are controlled by you through Circle Modular Wallets. Lucilla does not have direct access to move your funds without your authorization
• Transaction limits: Built-in daily and per-transaction limits protect against unauthorized large transfers
• Smart contract safeguards: All smart contracts are deployed on Base blockchain with standard security patterns including access controls, reentrancy guards, and pausability
• Multi-signal verification: Reward claims are verified through multiple independent signals before any funds are released
• Biometric authentication: Device-level biometric security (fingerprint, face recognition) protects your account access

5A.2 Early Access & Community Testing

Lucilla is in active development and continuously improving. As an early adopter, you are part of our community testing program:

• You may encounter occasional bugs or unexpected behavior — we appreciate your patience and feedback
• You can report bugs directly from your Account page in the app. Bug reports help us improve the platform for everyone
• We actively monitor all transactions and smart contract interactions for anomalies
• New features may be rolled out gradually and may change based on community feedback

5A.3 Limitation of Liability for Smart Contracts & Blockchain

IMPORTANT: While we take every reasonable precaution to ensure the security and correctness of our smart contracts and platform:

• Smart contracts on blockchain are immutable once deployed — if a bug exists in a deployed contract, it cannot be edited in place (though we can deploy updated versions and migrate)
• Blockchain transactions are irreversible — once confirmed on-chain, transactions cannot be undone by Lucilla or any third party
• Lucilla is not responsible for losses resulting from: smart contract vulnerabilities discovered after deployment, blockchain network outages or congestion, third-party wallet provider issues, user error (sending to wrong addresses), or events beyond our reasonable control
• Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount of USDC you deposited in the 90 days prior to the incident
• We maintain operational reserves and continuously audit our systems, but no technology platform can guarantee 100% uptime or zero defects

5A.4 What We Do If Something Goes Wrong

In the unlikely event of a security incident or smart contract issue:

• We will notify affected users promptly and transparently
• We will pause affected features until the issue is resolved
• We will make reasonable efforts to recover or compensate affected funds where technically possible
• We will publish a post-incident report explaining what happened and how we're preventing recurrence

5A.5 Your Responsibility

• Keep your device secure and up to date
• Enable biometric authentication when available
• Do not share your account credentials or wallet recovery phrases
• Report suspicious activity immediately through the app
• Only deposit amounts you are comfortable using on the platform

6. Step Challenges & Competitions

6.1 Eligibility

• Must be 18+ and not residing in prohibited jurisdictions
• Competitions may be restricted based on local regulations in certain jurisdictions
• We reserve the right to verify eligibility and identity

6.2 Fair Play

• Using third-party apps or devices to artificially inflate step counts is prohibited
• Cheating, hacking, or manipulation will result in account termination
• We use anti-fraud measures to detect abnormal activity
• Device eligibility is enforced for paid matches — using an unapproved or ineligible wearable device will result in match invalidation and forfeiture of your entry commitment (see Section 6A)
• Disputes are resolved at our sole discretion

6.3 Payouts

• Winners receive USDC to their Lucilla wallet
• Payouts processed within 24-48 hours of challenge completion
• You are responsible for any taxes on winnings

6.4 Group Challenges & Sponsored Competitions

Anyone — businesses, friends, family, or organizations — can sponsor step challenges on Lucilla:

• Sponsor eligibility: Any Lucilla user or enterprise customer can fund a challenge prize pool from any location worldwide. Sponsoring is a promotional contribution, not wagering
• Fully sponsored (free-to-enter): When a sponsor fully funds the prize pool and participants pay no entry fee, users in ALL locations — including geographically restricted states — can participate and receive USDC prizes. This is legally classified as a promotional giveaway/sweepstakes
• Mixed funding: If participants also stake USDC alongside sponsor funds, geographic restrictions apply (see Competition Rules Section 2A)
• Sponsorship never influences outcomes — winners are determined solely by verified step performance
• Sponsored challenge terms (duration, goals, prizes) are displayed before you join
• Lucilla is not responsible for sponsor obligations beyond distributing the funded prize pool

6A. Wearable Devices & Fitness Tracking

6A.1 Approved Wearable Devices

Lucilla maintains an approved device list organized by accuracy tier based on peer-reviewed Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) studies. Your device tier determines which match types you are eligible to participate in.

Tier 1 — Excellent (Less than 4% step-count error)

Brand	Models
Fitbit	Charge 6, Inspire 3
Apple Watch	Series 8, Series 9, Series 10, Ultra 2
Samsung	Galaxy Watch 6, Galaxy Watch 7
Google	Pixel Watch 2, Pixel Watch 3
Garmin	Forerunner 265, Forerunner 965, Fenix 8

Tier 2 — Good (4-8% step-count error)

Brand	Models
Apple Watch	SE
Samsung	Galaxy Watch 5
Google	Pixel Watch 1
Amazfit	GTR 4, T-Rex 3
Polar	Vantage V3
COROS	APEX 2 Pro
Huawei	Watch Fit 3

Tier 3 — Moderate (8-15% step-count error, free matches only)

Source	Details
Phone pedometers	Apple Health (iPhone motion coprocessor), Samsung Health (Samsung phones), Google Fit (Android phones)

Tier 3 devices are NOT eligible for paid matches. They may only be used for free matches and challenges.

6A.2 Paid Match Device Requirements

To participate in paid matches (matches requiring a USDC entry commitment), your device must meet the following requirements:

• Maximum 8% MAPE: Only Tier 1 and Tier 2 devices are eligible for paid matches
• Approved list only: Your device must appear on the approved device list above
• One device per match: You must use a single approved device for the duration of each match
• Device verification: Lucilla may verify the device source of your step data and reject data from unapproved devices

Using an unapproved device for a paid match will result in match invalidation and forfeiture of your entry commitment.

6A.3 Bridge-Sync Devices

Certain wearable devices do not integrate directly with Apple Health or Google Health Connect. Instead, they sync step data through a companion app that bridges to the platform health service:

Bridge-sync devices: Garmin, Amazfit, Polar, COROS, and Huawei Watch

How bridge-sync works:

• Your wearable records steps locally
• The companion app (e.g., Garmin Connect, Zepp, Polar Flow, COROS, Huawei Health) syncs data from the wearable
• The companion app pushes step data to Health Connect (Android only)
• Lucilla reads step data from Health Connect

Sync delay: Bridge-sync devices typically have a 15-30 minute delay between when steps are taken and when they appear in Health Connect. This delay varies by manufacturer and sync settings.

Eligibility restrictions due to sync delay:

• NOT eligible for intraday paid matches (10-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour, and 2-hour matches) — the sync delay makes real-time step verification unreliable for short-duration matches
• Eligible for daily, weekly, and monthly paid matches — the sync delay is negligible relative to the match duration
• Eligible for all free matches regardless of duration

Note: Bridge-sync is only available on Android via Health Connect. iOS users must use Apple Watch or Fitbit for direct integration.

6A.4 Platform Compatibility

iOS (iPhone)

Device	Integration
Apple Watch (all approved models)	Direct sync via Apple Health
Fitbit (Charge 6, Inspire 3)	Cross-platform — syncs via Fitbit app to Apple Health

Android

6A.5 Device Accuracy Disclaimer

• Accuracy ratings (MAPE tiers) are based on peer-reviewed studies and independent testing at the time of device approval
• Actual accuracy may vary depending on wrist placement, walking speed, terrain, arm swing, and individual biomechanics
• Lucilla does not guarantee the accuracy of any wearable device
• Lucilla reserves the right to update the approved device list, add new devices, remove devices, or change tier classifications at any time with 14 days' notice
• Updated device lists will be published at lucilla.ca/approved-devices
• If your device is removed from the approved list or downgraded, active paid matches will be honored through completion

7. Content & Conduct

7.1 Your Content

• You retain ownership of content you post (photos, messages, etc.)
• You grant us a license to use, display, and distribute your content within the App

7.2 Prohibited Conduct

• AI-generated content is provided "as is" without warranties
• You are responsible for reviewing and editing AI outputs before publishing
• AI may occasionally produce inaccurate or inappropriate content - use your judgment

8.2 Creator Bonded Curve & Monetization

Lucilla uses a Square Root Bonding Curve for creator monetization:

How It Works:

• Followers = Value: Your creator token price increases based on the square root of your follower count
• Formula: Token Price = Base Price x sqrt(Followers)
• Example: 100 followers = 10x base price, 10,000 followers = 100x base price
• Why square root? Prevents excessive speculation while rewarding genuine growth

Creator Earnings:

• Earn USDC when followers purchase your creator tokens
• Earn from content subscriptions (Pro tier required)
• Earn from tips and sponsorships
• Withdrawals subject to KYC tier limits (see Section 22)

Important Notes:

• Creator tokens are NOT securities or investment instruments
• Token values are based solely on creator popularity, not financial performance
• No guarantee of earnings or token value appreciation
• We reserve the right to modify the bonding curve formula with 30 days notice

• Outcomes are 100% dependent on your physical activity and effort
• NO element of chance - winner determined solely by step counts
• Legal worldwide in most jurisdictions without gambling licenses (including UK, EU, Canada, Australia, Japan, etc.)
• Does NOT constitute gambling under UK Gambling Act 2005 (skill-based, not chance-based)
• Prohibited in specific US states and countries as listed in Section 11.5 below

11.5 Geographic Restrictions & Location Verification

Paid Peer Competition Restrictions

Paid peer competitions are NOT available in the following US states:

• Connecticut (CT) — Skill gaming restrictions
• Delaware (DE) — Skill-based contest restrictions
• Louisiana (LA) — Parish-by-parish restrictions
• Montana (MT) — Skill gaming restrictions
• South Carolina (SC) — Skill-based contest restrictions
• Tennessee (TN) — Skill-based contest restrictions

Paid competitions are available in all other US states and all Canadian provinces (age 18+, or 19+ in BC, Alberta, Manitoba, Quebec, Nova Scotia, PEI).

Sponsored challenges and free competitions are available in all US states and provinces — they are promotional contests, not skill-based wagering.

Blocked Countries (US Sanctions / Legal Restrictions):

• Cuba (CU), Iran (IR), North Korea (KP), Syria (SY) — US sanctions
• Russia (RU), Belarus (BY) — Sanctions and payment restrictions
• Venezuela (VE) — Sanctions and economic instability
• Myanmar (MM) — Sanctions

Users in blocked locations may still enjoy free Step Matches, fitness tracking, social features, and geo-rewards. Only paid Step Matches are restricted.

Location Verification Enforcement

Lucilla enforces geographic restrictions using real-time GPS verification:

• Real-Time GPS Check: When joining a paid Step Match, your device's current GPS location is collected and verified server-side. Paid matches require location services to be enabled.
• KYC Residence Check: If you verified your identity from a sanctioned country, your account is permanently restricted from paid matches regardless of your current location.
• Server-Side Enforcement: All location checks are performed on our servers and cannot be bypassed through client-side modification.
• Compliance Logging: All paid match geo-restriction checks (both allowed and blocked) are logged for regulatory compliance and audit purposes.

Travel Policy: Location restrictions are based on where you are when you play, not where you live. If you live in an allowed state but travel to a blocked state, you cannot play paid matches while in the blocked state. Conversely, if you live in a blocked state but travel to an allowed state, you can play paid matches while in the allowed state.

Prohibited Location Manipulation

You may NOT:

• Use GPS spoofing apps or tools to fake your location
• Use VPNs or location masking to circumvent geographic restrictions
• Modify the app to bypass location verification
• Use emulators or virtual devices with fake GPS data

Violations will result in immediate account suspension, forfeiture of all match funds, and permanent ban from the platform.

Age Requirement

No age restriction for:

• Free matches and challenges
• Voice/video rooms
• AI content creation and journaling
• Earning USDC from content creation, ads, or referrals
• Withdrawing funds (subject to KYC tier limits below)

Why only paid matches require 18+? Skill-based competitions with financial commitments are regulated under gaming laws in most states, which require participants to be legal adults.

KYC Verification Tiers

Lucilla operates a tiered verification system to ensure compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations:

Tier 1: Unverified (Email Only)

• Requirements: Email registration only
• Paid Matches: Not allowed (cannot verify age 18+)
• Withdrawal Limits: $3,000/day
• Why This Limit: Federal "Travel Rule" requires identity verification above $3,000/day in crypto transactions

Tier 2: Phone Verified

• Requirements: Phone number verification via SMS
• Paid Matches: Not allowed (phone doesn't prove age)
• Withdrawal Limits: $3,000/day
• Why Limited: Phone verification doesn't satisfy age verification requirements for skill-based competitions

Tier 3: ID Verified (Enhanced KYC)

• Requirements: Government-issued photo ID + live selfie verification
• Process:
• Upload front of ID (driver's license, passport, or government ID)
• Upload back of ID (if applicable)
• Take live selfie (camera enforced - no uploads)
• AI verification completes in 30-60 seconds
• Features:
• Age verified (18+)
• Paid fitness competitions allowed
• Unlimited competitions per day
• Higher commitment limits per match
• Withdrawal limit: $10,000/day
• Why $10k limit: Federal Currency Transaction Report (CTR) threshold - we file reports for amounts above this

Tier 4: Full KYC (Bank Linked or Enhanced+)

• Requirements: Enhanced KYC + bank account verification or additional documentation
• Features:
• Unlimited withdrawals (we file CTRs for transactions $10k+)
• Unlimited competition commitments
• Priority customer support
• Advanced features access

Verification Process

What We Verify:

• Age: You must be 18+ (verified via government ID)
• Identity: Name matches ID document
• Liveness: Live selfie proves you're a real person (not a photo or deepfake)
• Address: (For higher tiers) Proof of residence

How Verification Works:

• Live Photo Requirement: You must take a photo using your device's camera (gallery uploads are blocked)
• AI detects screen artifacts, lighting inconsistencies, and depth to ensure liveness
• Currently uses passive liveness (single photo analysis)
• May upgrade to active liveness (video with movement) in the future
• Instant Results: AI verification completes in 30-60 seconds
• Privacy: Your ID is encrypted and securely stored in compliance with data protection laws

Account Limits by Tier

Tier	Age Verified	Paid Matches	Withdrawal Limit
Unverified	No	Not Allowed	$3,000/day
Phone Verified	No	Not Allowed	$3,000/day
ID Verified	Yes (18+)	Unlimited	$10,000/day
Full KYC	Yes (18+)	Unlimited	Unlimited*

*CTR reports filed for daily transactions exceeding $10,000 as required by federal law

Prohibited Actions

You may NOT:

• Create multiple accounts to avoid limits
• Use fake IDs or someone else's ID
• Manipulate photos to pass liveness checks
• Share accounts with others
• Use VPNs, GPS spoofing, or any method to hide or fake your location (see Section 11.5)

Consequences:

• Forfeiture of funds
• Legal action for fraud
• Permanent ban from platform

Data Privacy & Security

• Your ID and selfie are encrypted and stored securely
• We comply with GDPR, CCPA, and applicable data protection laws
• Your ID is only used for age/identity verification
• We never share your ID with third parties (except as required by law)
• You can request deletion of your ID after verification (account may revert to lower tier)

23. Referral Program

Overview

The Lucilla Referral Program allows users to share their unique referral code with friends and earn USDC rewards when those friends subscribe to a paid plan.

Important: Only YOU (the referrer) earn rewards, not the person using your code.

How It Works

• Every Lucilla user automatically receives a unique referral code in the format: `LUCXXXXXXXX`
• You can share your code via QR code, copy link, or share link: `https://lucilla.app/ref/YOURCODE`
• New users can enter your code during signup
• Existing users can enter your code within their first 30 days of account creation

Earning Rewards

When someone uses your referral code and subscribes to a paid plan, you earn:

• $5 USDC per month for each month they maintain an active paid subscription
• Maximum of 6 months of rewards per referred user ($30 total)
• Rewards are paid automatically when the referred user makes their monthly payment
• Rewards are deposited into your Lucilla Smart Wallet

Referral Code Limits

• One code per account: Users can only use ONE referral code per account, ever
• Cannot be changed: Once a referral code is applied, it cannot be removed or replaced
• 30-day window: Existing users can only enter a code within 30 days of account creation
• No self-referrals: You cannot use your own referral code

Reward Restrictions

• Rewards are only paid when the referred user has an active paid subscription (Pro or Creator Pro)
• No rewards during free trials
• If a referred user cancels, rewards stop immediately
• Maximum 6 months of rewards per referred user
• Rewards are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash

Fraud & Abuse

We reserve the right to:

• Suspend or terminate accounts engaging in fraudulent referral activity
• Withhold or revoke rewards from suspicious referrals
• Modify or terminate the referral program at any time
• Investigate unusual referral patterns

Examples of fraudulent activity:

• Creating fake accounts
• Using stolen payment methods
• Coordinating with others to game the system
• Using bots or automated scripts

Tax Implications

• Referral rewards may be considered taxable income in your jurisdiction
• You are responsible for reporting and paying any applicable taxes
• Lucilla does not provide tax advice - consult a tax professional
