Security & Risk

Understanding the security model of DeFi Guardian and the inherent risks of decentralized finance.


Non-Custodial Architecture

Important: DeFi Guardian never has access to your private keys or funds.

Our interface acts as a read-only layer on top of public blockchain data. When you "connect" your wallet, you are simply allowing us to read your public address to fetch data relative to it.

What We Do NOT Do:

  • We do not hold custody of your assets at any time.
  • We can not sign transactions without your manual approval in your wallet.
  • We can not help you recover lost private keys or seed phrases (Social Recovery is impossible).
  • We do not guarantee the safety of the underlying protocols you interact with.

Data Privacy & Telemetry

We collect minimal telemetry (such as IP addresses) strictly for security and operational monitoring (DDoS protection).We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties.

DeFi Guardian honors Global Privacy Control (GPC) and "Do Not Track" signals. Contact information provided for alerts is encrypted and stored solely for dispatching notifications.

Smart Contract Risk

While our interface is secure, usage of underlying protocols (Aave, Compound, etc.) carries its own risk.We do not audit third-party protocols and cannot be held liable for their failure.We recommend you:

  • Only interact with established, audited protocols.
  • Understand the liquidation parameters of each market.
  • Never deposit more than you can afford to lose.
