Transparency & verification
This page explains what TERMINAL is, how to verify the live Internet Computer components, and what we never ask a customer to provide.
Operator & contact
Verify the live services
TERMINAL runs on Internet Computer mainnet. The application access address is not displayed on this page; it is provided through the official operating-system folders and launch instructions in the USB Access Kit. The service canister identifiers below are public and can be inspected through the Internet Computer interface.
Wallet & licence backend
Private chat canister
TERMINAL Dial canister
What the USB Access Kit is
- It is an onboarding and instruction kit for Windows, macOS, Linux, iPhone and Android.
- It does not store private keys, recovery phrases or Internet Identity credentials.
- It opens the official TERMINAL web application in a browser; it is not a hardware wallet.
- Never use a recovery phrase or a funded primary Internet Identity for a first test of any unfamiliar service.
Security boundaries
TERMINAL will never ask for your recovery phrase, private key or Internet Identity recovery material.
Use only the official Internet Identity sign-in flow presented by the application. Verify the domain before signing in or approving a transaction.
TERMINAL chat uses client-side encryption code. The system has not undergone an independent security audit. Do not treat TERMINAL as a bank, custody provider, investment product or dispute arbitrator.
TERMINAL Dial
Dial is a beta, rules-based ckUSDC settlement feature. Both participants see the deal rules before funding. It does not verify delivery, decide who is right in a dispute, or provide conventional buyer protection. Users should only use it when they understand and accept the displayed settlement rule.
Public code
Selected canister and client-integration source files are being prepared for public review. The release will exclude identity files, local browser data, environment files and private operational material. Publication for review does not transfer ownership of TERMINAL intellectual property.
