VXAD Security
Security is our top priority at VXAD. This document outlines our security practices and provides guidance on how to use our platform safely.
Introduction
VXAD is built with security as a fundamental principle. We understand that when dealing with cryptocurrency tokens, security is not an optional feature but an essential requirement. Our platform is designed to provide maximum security while maintaining ease of use.
Security Commitment
We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of security across all aspects of our platform. Our team continuously monitors for potential vulnerabilities and implements industry best practices to protect your assets.
Security Principles
VXAD follows these core security principles in all aspects of our platform:
1. Zero Trust Architecture
We follow a zero trust security model, which means we never assume trust and always verify. Every transaction, connection, and interaction is treated as potentially untrusted and must be verified before proceeding.
2. Defense in Depth
We implement multiple layers of security controls so that if one layer fails, others will still provide protection. This includes validations at the client side, server side, and blockchain level.
3. Transparency
Our security practices and transaction mechanisms are transparent and available for review. We believe that security through obscurity is not a reliable strategy.
4. Minimum Required Access
Our platform requests and uses only the minimum permissions required to perform the necessary functions, reducing the potential attack surface.
Non-Custodial Design
VXAD operates on a fully non-custodial model, which means:
- We never take possession of your tokens or private keys
- All transactions are signed directly in your wallet
- Your tokens remain in your control at all times
- We cannot initiate transactions without your explicit approval
Why Non-Custodial?
Non-custodial design eliminates many potential security risks. Since we never hold your assets, there's no central point of failure that could lead to loss of funds. This also means you maintain complete control over your tokens at all times.
Wallet Integration
Our wallet integration follows strict security protocols:
Connection Security
- We only request the minimum permissions needed (viewing public key and requesting transaction approvals)
- All wallet connections use industry-standard encryption
- We never ask for or store seed phrases, private keys, or recovery information
Supported Wallets
We currently support Phantom wallet, which has undergone extensive security audits and uses industry best practices for secure key management.
Important
Always ensure you're on the correct VXAD website before connecting your wallet. Check the URL and look for security indicators in your browser. VXAD will never ask for your seed phrase or private keys.
Transaction Security
Every transaction on VXAD goes through multiple security checks:
Pre-Transaction Validation
- Validation of all recipient addresses to ensure they are valid Solana addresses
- Confirmation that token amounts are valid and within acceptable ranges
- Verification that the sender has sufficient balance before initiating transactions
Transaction Preview
All airdrops include a detailed preview step that shows:
- Complete list of recipient addresses
- Exact amounts to be sent to each recipient
- Total tokens being distributed
- Estimated transaction fees
Transaction Processing
- Transactions are constructed according to Solana's security standards
- Batch processing is optimized for both efficiency and security
- All transactions require explicit approval in your wallet
- Transaction results are verified on-chain before being reported as successful
Data Protection
We take the protection of your data seriously:
Minimal Data Collection
We collect only the data necessary to provide our services. This includes:
- Wallet addresses (public keys only)
- Transaction data that is publicly available on the blockchain
- Basic usage metrics to improve our service
No Storage of Sensitive Information
We do not store:
- Private keys or seed phrases
- Wallet passwords or recovery information
- Personal identifying information
Secure Communication
All communication between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS. API calls to blockchain nodes are also secured using industry-standard encryption.
Security Best Practices
We recommend the following security practices when using VXAD:
Wallet Security
- Use a hardware wallet when possible for increased security
- Ensure your wallet software is always updated to the latest version
- Never share your seed phrase or private keys with anyone
- Consider using a dedicated device for crypto transactions
Using VXAD Securely
- Always verify the URL is correct before connecting your wallet
- Check transaction details carefully in the preview screen
- Start with small test transactions when using the platform for the first time
- Disconnect your wallet when you're done using the platform
Phishing Warning
Be alert for phishing attempts. VXAD will never contact you directly asking for your wallet information or to verify your account. We will never send unsolicited emails with attachments or links to connect your wallet.
Transaction Verification
To ensure the security of your airdrops, we recommend the following verification steps:
Before Approving
- Verify the token mint address matches the token you intend to distribute
- Check that the recipient addresses match your intended recipients
- Confirm the token amounts are correct
- Review the total amount to ensure it matches your expectations
After Completion
- Check transaction signatures on Solana Explorer
- Verify that tokens were received by the intended recipients
- Keep a record of all transaction signatures for future reference
