Wallet Authentication

QuantsEdge uses non-custodial wallet authentication: the most secure way to access trading platforms. Unlike competitors who hold your funds, we never have access to your private keys.

Why Non-Custodial Matters

Your Keys, Your Control

• Zero Custody Risk: We never hold your private keys or funds
• No Centralized Storage: Your wallet stays in your control
• Instant Withdrawals: No waiting periods or withdrawal limits
• Regulatory Independence: Your assets aren't subject to platform restrictions

Enterprise-Grade Security

• Hardware Wallet Support: Ledger, Trezor, and other hardware wallets
• Multi-Signature Ready: Support for smart contract wallets
• Bank-Level Encryption: All communications use military-grade encryption
• Audit Trail: Every action is cryptographically verifiable

Advanced Wallet Architecture

Turnkey Embedded Wallets

QuantsEdge uses Turnkey's institutional-grade wallet infrastructure to provide enterprise security:

• Hardware Security Module (HSM): Private keys stored in certified hardware
• Multi-Party Computation: Keys split across multiple secure locations
• Audit Logging: Every transaction cryptographically signed and logged
• Compliance Ready: SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 certified infrastructure

Hyperliquid Agent Wallets

For Hyperliquid trading, we create dedicated agent wallets:

• Isolated Trading: Separate wallets for each trading strategy
• Risk Management: Individual position limits per agent wallet
• Automated Execution: Direct integration with Hyperliquid's order book
• Real-time Monitoring: Live PnL tracking across all agent wallets
