Our hot wallets incorporate multi-signature and Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technologies, which distribute private key management across multiple parties to eliminate single points of failure, enhancing protection against unauthorized access.
Real-Time Withdrawal Risk Assessment
We leverage machine learning and real-time risk assessments to evaluate withdrawal requests, dynamically adjusting limits to ensure fund security.
Dynamic Monitoring and Smart Limits Adjustment
By analyzing user behavior and risk levels, we dynamically adjust trading and withdrawal limits and immediately block any suspicious transactions to prevent potential losses.
