Custody security

Security you can check.

Every hour, each customer's ledger balance is compared with custody. Here is the result of every round — without volumes, which we never publish.

How your funds are guarded

Your balances are held in institutional custody, with segregated accounts and controlled access. Our internal ledger is checked against the real balance in custody every hour, and any divergence is reviewed by a person.

Limits and human review

Withdrawals above a set threshold are reviewed by a person before being sent. It is the same check that stops an unauthorised payout from leaving without anyone looking, and it can add some delay.

What protects every withdrawal

  • Double-entry ledger

    Every balance is the result of entries; there is no editable balance field anywhere.

  • Hourly on-chain reconciliation

    The recorded amount of each asset is compared with what exists in the custody wallets.

  • Allowed address list

    Optional mode: with it on, a new address is locked for a period before the first send. The chosen network’s format is always validated.

  • Address blocklist

    Sanctioned and flagged addresses are updated every day and blocked at the source.

  • PIN, TOTP and anti-phishing code

    Changing your password or PIN suspends withdrawals for a security window, stated in the notice you receive. Every email from us carries your code.

No system is 100% risk-free. Always enable 2FA, never share your PIN or 2FA code with anyone (including anyone claiming to be PoweX support), and double-check withdrawal addresses before confirming.
