🔸Security

At Padre, we strike the balance between strong security and smooth trading experience.

Padre wallets are fully non-custodial, secured by Turnkey's scalable infrastructure for managing private keys across blockchains. With air-gapped architecture, it ensures robust security and protection from vulnerabilities.

Our app uses 2FA + private key encryption with user generated password (team has no way to access private keys, no bots offer this!). Your password isn’t just for logging in — it plays a critical role in protecting your assets.

How it works:

• Private Key Encryption When you import a wallet with a private key, it's encrypted using the password you set. This encryption ensures that your private key is never stored in a way that Padre can access. Even if someone gains access to your account, they can’t trade or move funds without your password.

• Turnkey Infrastructure We use Turnkey — a secure private key infrastructure developed by Coinbase’s custody team — to manage keys safely and prevent unauthorized access. This infrastructure ensures that private keys are managed in a way that keeps them secure and inaccessible to Padre or its team.

Your password acts as a second layer of defense and custom 2FA just for your private keys. It’s used to encrypt your private key access, ensuring that even if someone gains access to your account, they can't take any actions without it. Knowing the password alone isn’t enough either — it only works if you’re also signed in.

Padre never stores or has access to your password. Your assets stay safe — even from us.
