Safety & Security

Your safety and the security of your assets are paramount to us. We implement several measures to ensure the utmost security while using our services.

Ideal Security Practices

The safest method for managing your assets will always be trading on your own, preferably using a hardware wallet that securely stores a private key only you can access. This method ensures that you have complete control over your own keys.

Non-Custodial

Ctrl operates on a non-custodial model, which means that you always maintain control of your keys. While our bot requires access to these keys to sign transactions, we ensure they are handled securely and responsibly.

AES Encrypted Key Storage

Your keys are securely stored in a database, encrypted using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).

Secure Processing in Confidential VMs

To enhance security, the processes of decryption and encryption take place in Confidential Virtual Machines (VMs). Confidential VMs add an extra layer of protection to your data by ensuring that it remains encrypted while it's being processed, not just when it's at rest in storage.

Robust Key Management

We do not store your keys in a format that can be directly accessed. Instead, they are hashed and stored securely. The original key is then destroyed, and only the hash is preserved, enhancing your key's security.

Regular Security Audits

To maintain the highest level of security, we conduct regular audits and constantly monitor for any unusual activities. Any potential vulnerabilities found are quickly addressed to prevent exploitation.

In Conclusion

Despite the measures we take to protect your assets, we want to remind you that the absolute safest solution will always be to trade personally, using a hardware wallet and a private key that only you have access to. However, we at ctrl are dedicated to providing a secure and reliable alternative for those who wish to use our platform.
