# CanaryNet Guardrails

CanaryNet "[*Guardrails*](https://datadex.itheum.io/guardRails)" are put in place to protect users in the ecosystem while allowing real-world usage of the technology. These guardrails include whitelisted data creator minting, time limits between new Data NFT minting, anti-spam tax, community-based curation, and more. As the technology matures and gains acceptance, it is anticipated that guardrails will be removed progressively, thereby enabling unrestricted usage and adoption of Itheum's technology. 

"*CanaryNet*" aims to protect end-users and position Itheum's technology for mainstream adoption while adhering to regulation and operational excellence.

#### **Guardrails in place for the Mainnet launch:**

1\. Whitelisted Data Creator Minting

2\. Time limits between new Data NFT minting

3\. High Anti-Spam TAX to prevent spam minting by Whitelisted Data Creators

4\. Transparent “Community-Based Curation” of Data NFTs

* Spam Data NFT identification and removal
* Community channels to report malicious Data NFTs or Data Creators
* Complaint reporting and handling
* Freezing bad actors (Data Creators)

5\. Max pricing ceiling per Data NFT
