About DAppNode

DAppNode is Free Open Source Software ("FOSS") aimed at facilitating the use of decentralized technologies.

In no way we are responsible for the misuse of such software and in no way we warrant its functionalities. We accept no responsibility for its errors, or for the errors that the wrapping process might have introduced. Any usage of DAppNode and a DNP is strictly at your own risk.
