Cloister is an experimental, honest product. We'd rather tell you exactly what it is — and isn't — than dress it up. Nothing here is financial, legal, or professional advice.
Cloister is early software provided "as is," without guarantees of uptime, accuracy, or availability. Features, pricing, and models may change or disappear without notice. Don't build anything mission-critical on it yet.
Your prompt is computed inside a TEE-attested enclave: the node operator that runs the model cannot read it there. Your prompt does pass through our gateway in the clear for the instant it takes to route it, and we keep no logs. Sealed where it counts; honest about the rest. We will never claim we "mathematically can't see it" — that overclaim is exactly what we're built to avoid. Treat any single point in the path as a point of trust, and don't send anything you couldn't tolerate being exposed by a bug or a subpoena.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Cloister and its operators accept no liability for any loss, damage, or harm arising from use of the service, including downtime, data loss, incorrect billing, or reliance on model output. You use it at your own risk.
Responses are generated by AI models and may be wrong, biased, or fabricated. Verify anything important. Cloister does not endorse or take responsibility for model output, and outputs are not professional advice of any kind.
Cloister serves open models that apply minimal content filtering — that means the absence of built-in refusals, not a licence for unlawful activity. You are solely responsible for how you use the service and its outputs, and must comply with every law that applies to you. Because we keep no logs we don't actively monitor usage, but we may refuse, rate-limit, or discontinue service at our discretion. Do not use Cloister to produce or facilitate anything illegal where you are.
Cloister accepts crypto only — TAO on Bittensor, and USDC or ETH on Base. Each account gets its own unique deposit addresses. Send only the named asset on the named network to the matching address. Sending the wrong token, the wrong chain, or to a mistyped address is a permanent, unrecoverable loss — on-chain transfers cannot be reversed or refunded. Deposits are credited as a usage balance at the live exchange rate at the moment they're detected; crypto prices move, so the credited value reflects that instant. A small minimum applies and dust may be ignored. Balances are non-refundable and non-transferable, and can only be spent on inference — no cards, no chargebacks, no cash-out.
Crypto assets are volatile and largely unregulated. Their legal, tax, and regulatory treatment is uncertain, evolving, and varies by jurisdiction. You are responsible for any taxes you owe and for determining whether using Cloister is lawful for you. The 15%-of-fees buyback-and-burn is a transparent on-chain mechanic, not a promise of price, value, or returns.
$CLOISTER is an experimental, placeholder/utility token. It is not an investment, a security, a share, or a claim on revenue, and carries no promise of returns. Using the API does not require holding the token, and holding the token does not entitle you to anything from us. Anyone offering "$CLOISTER" via a different contract, chain, or DM is a scam. Nothing here is financial advice.
Cloister is an independent gateway. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the model providers, infrastructure operators, chains, or bridges it routes to or uses. All model, provider, and network names are the property of their respective owners and used for identification only.
Your cloi- code is the sole proof of ownership. We store only a hash of it — we cannot recover a lost code, and a lost code means a lost balance. Save it somewhere safe. No KYC, no email, no password resets.
You must be of legal age and permitted to use a service like this where you live. Cloister is not offered where it would be prohibited, and it is your responsibility to comply with your local laws. If it isn't lawful for you, don't use it.
Anything we describe as planned, coming, or "on the horizon" — including a sealed chat app, sealed memory, or expanded token utility — is an aspiration, not a commitment. Roadmaps change; features may ship late, differently, or not at all.
We may update this disclaimer as the product evolves. Material changes take effect when posted here, and your continued use means you accept the current version. Last updated July 2026.
