Security
Investments are secured
Our top priority is safeguarding your funds and ensuring your privacy.
We adopt a holistic strategy to safeguard your cryptocurrency investments. Our expert team has implemented advanced measures to protect against the theft of funds and sensitive information.
However, security threats extend beyond theft. We ensure stability through proof of reserves, strong banking relationships, and adherence to top-tier legal compliance.
Our thorough approach to cybersecurity and information management has earned us the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification and allowed us to successfully complete a SOC 2, Type 1 examination. This underscores our dedication to upholding the highest international security standards, ensuring your funds and personal information remain secure.

Committed to Securing the Crypto Ecosystem
Our mission is to promote global cryptocurrency adoption, which goes beyond our products and services. We are dedicated to enhancing security across the entire industry, identifying vulnerabilities in other projects and tools that our clients frequently use.
