Generative AI & Cryptocurrency Policy

Preface

At Binary Spiders, we believe that technology must serve people — not replace them. As artists and developers, we are deeply aware of the impact that modern tools such as generative AI and decentralized finance can have on our industry, clients, and communities.

We have a moral obligation to preserve the value of human creativity, respect the integrity of intellectual property, and ensure that all work we deliver is ethically sourced and transparently constructed.

We embrace modern tools to enhance productivity where appropriate — but we reject the use of automation that displaces artists, exploits personal data, or undermines authenticity.

Our goal is to maintain a development environment that is:

• Rooted in ethical and morally sound practices
• Transparent about our processes and tools
• Supportive of fair compensation and creative authorship
• Open to modern technologies without compromising principles

The following outlines our position on the use of generative AI and our preferred cryptocurrency payment practices, in alignment with these values.

1. Cryptocurrency Policy

Binary Spiders accepts Nano (XNO) as an official payment method for all services including project-based work, milestones, retainers, and recurring engagements.

Why Nano?

We chose Nano because of the following reasons:

• Zero Transaction Fees: No payment processors, no banks, no deductions. 100% of the value is transferred instantly.
• Transparent & Instant: All transactions are secure, verifiable on-chain, and settle in seconds.
• Currency Neutrality: Nano is immune to inflation and macroeconomic instability caused by global fiat policy decisions.

It is our opinion that Nano provides a stable alternative for international trade, and unlike other options available is not directly tied to existing fiat currency.

Ideal for international clients

Nano is particularly beneficial for our international partners:

• No bank transfer fees
• No exchange-rate slippage or delays
• No dependency on intermediary banks or Swift networks
• Complete transparency on delivery status

This makes Nano a cost-effective and frictionless option for global clients, especially those facing high fees or long clearance times with traditional banking.

How we bill

• All invoices include the exact Nano amount, based on a spot exchange rate at time of issue.
• Discounts may be applied for Nano payments, reflecting our savings on processing fees and banking overhead.
• Fiat equivalents are provided on receipts for tax and accounting.

Payments are marked as received once confirmed on the Nano ledger.

2. Generative AI Policy

Binary Spiders uses generative AI responsibly, and only in ways that preserve trust, transparency, and creative integrity.

2.1 Code-Only AI Use

We use generative AI tools exclusively to assist with software development, and only for:

• Boilerplate or repetitive code
• Syntax correction or scaffolding
• Test generation or code review assistance

All AI-assisted outputs are written under professional supervision and subject to human testing, auditing, and quality control. AI is used as a supporting tool—not a source of final decisions.

We strictly avoid:

• Training models on client code or data
• Using cloud-based tools that retain or repurpose user inputs
• Any workflow that would compromise IP ownership, confidentiality, or auditability

2.2 No AI in creative work (Ever)

Binary Spiders does not use generative AI for any creative or artistic output. This includes:

• Visual art, illustrations, textures, animation, UI or environment design
• Audio, music, voice acting, or sound effects
• Narrative or scripted writing for design or lore

Our position is principled and deliberate:
We do not use AI in art because it removes human creators from the process. We believe creative expression should remain authored by people—not generated from datasets or predictive models. We stand with artists and uphold the authenticity of human-made work.

All creative deliverables—whether internal or subcontracted—are guaranteed to be human-created and fully licensed.

3. Compliance & Assurance

Binary Spiders maintains strict compliance with data, copyright, and AI governance standards:

• We do not submit any client data to training pipelines
• We comply with GDPR, UK Data Protection Act, and global AI ethics frameworks
• We offer written attestations and AI-free guarantees upon request
