# Security

**Where self-custody meets real protection.**

***

Locked Money was built around a simple but non-negotiable truth:\
**If your crypto isn’t secure, nothing else matters.**

From day one, every feature we’ve built — from Vaults to AI automation to legal structures — is backed by industry-best practices in crypto security, infrastructure, and user control.

> It’s not just self-custody. It’s self-custody that’s actually safe.

### 🧱 Core Security Features

#### ✅ 1. Self-Custodial by Design

Your assets are never held by us.\
You control your Vaults with your wallet — and no one, including Locked Money, can move your funds.

There are:

* No shared custodians
* No internal wallets
* No IOUs\
  Just fully on-chain, real asset ownership.

***

#### ✅ 2. Multi-Signature Vaults

Every Vault is protected by multi-signature security.\
This means transactions require more than one signature to execute — significantly reducing risk of hacks or human error.

By default:

* You sign with your connected wallet
* The **AI Co-Signer** reviews and approves (or blocks) risky actions

This creates **built-in protection** against drainers, phishing, and smart contract exploits — without slowing you down.

***

#### ✅ 3. Seedless. Safer.

Seed phrases are the single biggest attack vector in crypto.\
That’s why Locked Money eliminates them completely.

* No 12-word backups
* No paper wallets
* No “write this down and hope you don’t lose it”\
  Instead: true cryptographic key security, backed by smart infrastructure and multi-sig.

#### ✅ 4. AI Security Layer

Your AI Co-Signer (coming 2025) acts like a 24/7 behavioral firewall.

It can:

* Analyze transaction intent
* Detect malicious token approvals or contract interactions
* Block abnormal behavior
* Learn from your historical actions and preferences

→ This adds a second layer of smart, real-time protection — even when you’re not watching.

***

#### ✅ 5. Infrastructure You Can Trust

Locked Money is built using secure, audited smart contracts and hardened backend services.

* Vault contracts are on-chain and auditable
* Actions are transparent — not hidden behind proprietary tech
* We use proven security patterns (like OpenZeppelin libraries)
* Infrastructure is monitored, geo-redundant, and stress-tested for failover
