Security & Custody
Protection, Storage, and Insurance for Every Asset
Our Philosophy
Bank-Grade Protection for Digital Assets
At Equinorix, security is not an afterthought — it is the foundation of our platform.
Every system, from order routing to wallet management, has been architected to meet the standards of regulated financial institutions.
We protect your assets using multi-layer encryption, geographically distributed cold storage, and institutional insurance coverage. Our philosophy is simple:
No compromise on custody, ever.
1. Cold-Wallet Custody
Over 98% of client assets are stored offline in cold-wallet systems protected by multi-signature authorization and hardware-secured keys.
All wallets are geographically distributed across multiple jurisdictions to mitigate regional risks.
- Multi-signature authorization (M-of-N policy)
- Hardware Security Module (HSM) key management
- Real-time transaction verification and address whitelisting
- Daily balance reconciliation by the internal audit team
Equinorix never uses customer funds for lending, leverage, or investment purposes.
2. AI-Driven Threat Monitoring
Our proprietary AI Risk Engine continuously scans all on-chain and internal activities to identify anomalies, such as:
- Abnormal withdrawals or fund transfers
- High-frequency micro-spikes indicating potential wash trading
- Cross-account login irregularities
- Phishing or social-engineering attempts targeting accounts
When abnormal behavior is detected, the system automatically freezes transactions, alerts compliance officers, and initiates a manual verification procedure.
3. Insurance & Asset Guarantee
All cold-wallet assets are insured against theft, cyber intrusion, and operational failures through top-tier global underwriters (coverage value: [Placeholder USD]).
Equinorix also maintains an Emergency Protection Fund dedicated to compensating users for verified losses not covered by the insurance policy.
This dual-layer approach — insurance + internal fund — ensures institutional-grade peace of mind.
4. Compliance and Custodial Standards
Our custody model aligns with SEC and FinCEN custody principles, and our internal controls follow SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001 standards.
Core compliance policies include:
- Anti-Money Laundering (AML)
- Counter-Terrorism Financing (CFT)
- Customer Due Diligence (CDD & EDD)
- GDPR and U.S. data-protection compliance
Every wallet, withdrawal, and address passes through automated OFAC and FATF blacklist screening prior to approval.
5. User-Controlled Security
Equinorix empowers users with institutional security tools made accessible to individuals:
- Multi-factor authentication (2FA, biometrics, hardware keys)
- Device fingerprint and session control
- Withdrawal whitelist and time-lock protection
- Account-level access logs and authorization history
Users can view all account sessions, device IDs, and IP addresses directly through the Security Dashboard.
6. Independent Audits & Penetration Tests
Quarterly penetration tests and forensic audits are performed by certified partners such as Fireblocks, CertiK, and Trail of Bits.
Each test evaluates:
- Encryption integrity
- Data-transmission security
- API vulnerability
- internal access segregation
Audit results and system updates are disclosed in our Transparency Center under Disclosure
Security Is Transparency
We believe real security comes from transparency.
Equinorix publishes quarterly Proof-of-Reserves and System Integrity Reports, ensuring that every user knows exactly where their assets reside — and how they’re protected.
