Security
Protecting your account and assets
Institutional-grade custody controls, encryption and account protections for every American Digital Assets client.
Encryption everywhere
All traffic uses TLS 1.3 and sensitive records, including identity documents, are encrypted at rest with per-object keys.
95% cold storage
The overwhelming majority of client assets are held in offline, multi-signature cold storage with geographically separated key shards.
Multi-factor authentication
Add a second factor so a stolen password alone can never move your assets.
Withdrawal controls
Withdrawals require verified identity, are screened for sanctions and blocklisted addresses, and are reviewed before broadcast.
Good security practices
- Use a unique password of at least 12 characters, stored in a password manager.
- Enable multi-factor authentication on your account and your email.
- Always confirm the destination address character by character — blockchain transfers cannot be reversed.
- We will never ask for your password, recovery codes or remote access to your device.
