Security First Philosophy

At M.O.N.K.Y, security isnโ€™t an afterthoughtโ€”itโ€™s built into every layer of our architecture. We understand that in the world of digital assets, security is paramount. Thatโ€™s why weโ€™ve implemented military-grade security measures to protect your funds and personal information.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Zero-Knowledge Architecture

Your private keys never leave your device. M.O.N.K.Y operates on a zero-knowledge basis, meaning we cannot access your funds even if we wanted to.

Core Security Features

๐Ÿ” 256-bit Encryption

All sensitive data is protected using AES-256 encryption, the same standard used by government agencies and military organizations worldwide.

Data at Rest

Private keys and sensitive data are encrypted before being stored locally on your device.

Data in Transit

All communications are secured with TLS 1.3 encryption and certificate pinning.

๐Ÿ”‘ Local Key Management

Your keys, your crypto: M.O.N.K.Y never has access to your private keys. They are generated and stored exclusively on your device.

Key Generation

  • Cryptographically Secure Random Number Generation: Using crypto.getRandomValues() for true randomness
  • BIP39 Mnemonic Support: Standard 12/24-word recovery phrases
  • Hierarchical Deterministic (HD) Wallets: BIP44 compliant derivation paths
  • Multiple Account Support: Generate unlimited accounts from a single seed phrase

Key Storage

  • Browser Secure Storage: Encrypted storage using Web Crypto API
  • Hardware Security Module (HSM) Integration: Support for hardware wallets like Ledger
  • Local Encryption: Keys are encrypted with device-specific entropy before storage
  • No Cloud Storage: Keys are never synchronized or backed up to cloud services

๐Ÿ—๏ธ Multi-Signature Support

Multi-signature wallets require multiple signatures to authorize transactions, providing an additional layer of security for high-value accounts.

Supported Configurations

  • 2-of-2 Multi-sig: Requires both parties to sign transactions
  • 2-of-3 Multi-sig: Any 2 out of 3 parties can authorize transactions
  • 3-of-5 Multi-sig: Any 3 out of 5 parties can authorize transactions
  • Custom Configurations: Flexible threshold signatures for enterprise use

Use Cases

  • Business Accounts: Require approval from multiple team members
  • Family Accounts: Shared control between family members
  • Trust Funds: Multiple trustees required for withdrawals
  • DAO Treasury: Decentralized governance for organization funds

๐Ÿ”’ Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Add an extra layer of security with multiple 2FA options:
  • App-based 2FA
  • SMS 2FA
  • Hardware Keys
Supported Apps:
  • Google Authenticator
  • Authy
  • Microsoft Authenticator
  • 1Password
  • Bitwarden
Setup Process:
  1. Enable 2FA in wallet settings
  2. Scan QR code with your authenticator app
  3. Enter verification code to confirm setup
  4. Save backup codes in a secure location

๐ŸŒ Network Security

RPC Protection

  • Encrypted Connections: All blockchain communications use HTTPS/WSS
  • Multiple RPC Endpoints: Automatic failover to prevent single points of failure
  • Rate Limiting: Protection against spam and DoS attacks
  • Response Validation: All blockchain responses are cryptographically verified

Anti-Phishing

  • Domain Verification: Automatic detection of phishing websites
  • Certificate Pinning: Protection against man-in-the-middle attacks
  • URL Validation: Warnings for suspicious links and redirects
  • Browser Extension Protection: Detection of malicious browser extensions

Configuration Changes

History of all security setting modifications and updates.

Export Options

Export logs and transaction history for external analysis and record keeping.

Security Best Practices

๐ŸŽฏ For Users

1

Secure Your Recovery Phrase

Write down your 12/24-word recovery phrase and store it in multiple secure locations. Never store it digitally or share it with anyone.
2

Enable 2FA

Activate two-factor authentication using an authenticator app for maximum security.
3

Use Strong Passwords

Create a unique, complex password for your wallet. Consider using a password manager.
4

Keep Software Updated

Always use the latest version of M.O.N.K.Y to ensure you have the latest security patches.
