What PoolIndex will and will not do

This is a discovery and inspection tool for rewards that were intentionally offered to the public, or that a public address you check is demonstrably eligible to claim. It is not a wallet cracker, a mixer hunter, or a recovery service.

Hard refusals

Private-key brute force, seed-phrase search or recovery, accessing wallets you do not control, exploiting contracts or sites, claim automation / airdrop hunters, and auto-signing transactions are all out of scope. Pasting a seed or 64-byte hex key is rejected.

Allowed surfaces

Old giveaways, faucets, airdrops, and redemption links that were posted publicly.
Public crypto puzzles, documented only: no solvers and no range scanning.
First-come promotional claims and abandoned public campaign pages, via live web and Wayback.
Testnet and community developer faucets.
Forum posts (Bitcointalk, Reddit) that contain public claim instructions.

Sources

Bitcointalk, Reddit, GitHub, Internet Archive / Wayback Machine, project websites, crypto blogs, public blockchain explorers, published airdrop announcements, and archived faucet pages. Each live hit is safety checked before display. A pass is not a guarantee that a URL is safe.

Host protection

PoolIndex refuses to stack live scans, archive lookups, and on-chain checks when this machine is short on RAM, CPU, or disk. Overload returns HTTP 503 with a resource snapshot. Failed scans are not retried in a loop. Stability comes before speed.

Wallet policy

PoolIndex checks using your public wallet address only, the same address anyone can already see on the blockchain. It never asks for your seed phrase or private key. You can check a public address without connecting a wallet.
The public wallet address you check is stored on your account in your plan's wallet slot. Wallet checks run in the Windows and Android apps, on your device, and their results stay there. The website itself has no wallet check. Daily monitoring and Deep Hunt keep their results on the server. PoolIndex never asks for your seed phrase or private key.
PoolIndex does not send, sign or submit any transaction, and does not connect to your wallet. For a verified result it shows a link to the project's official claim page. Any claim happens there, in your own wallet, and only if you decide to make it.
For merkle airdrops PoolIndex only links to the official claim page. It does not build, sign or forge merkle proofs.
If a page asks for a seed phrase, PoolIndex flags it as blocked.

How to read a result

Official: published by the project on a domain or repo we can name.
Documented public offer: appeared in public archives or well-known community indexes.
Unverified: a live search hit. Inspect the URL before interacting.
Window closed / archive only: useful as history, not a live payout.
