# Security & Trust

Qwerti is built as a **non-custodial DeFi Aggregator**.\
We help you route and execute transactions across different chains and providers, but we never take control of your funds or private keys.

This page explains how Qwerti works from a security perspective, what we **do** and **do not** do, and how we choose the providers we integrate with.

***

### 1. Non-Custodial by Design

Qwerti is **not a wallet**, **not a custodial exchange**, and **not a bank**.

* We **do not hold your assets**.
* We **do not store or see your private keys**.
* We **do not execute transactions on your behalf** without your explicit confirmation.

All funds stay in:

* your **own wallet**, or
* a **smart / embedded wallet** managed by a trusted wallet provider (for example, via Privy or similar services).

Qwerti is a UX and routing layer on top of existing wallets and protocols.

***

### 2. Wallets & Private Keys

#### 2.1 Your Own Wallets

When you connect a wallet (e.g. browser or mobile wallet):

* Qwerti gets **read-only access** to:
  * your public address
  * your balances on supported chains
* Qwerti **cannot**:
  * see your private key or seed phrase
  * move your funds without your transaction approval
  * sign anything on your behalf

Every transaction you make through Qwerti must be:

* **built** by our routing logic
* and **explicitly approved** in your wallet (or embedded wallet interface).

If you don’t sign, nothing happens.

***

#### 2.2 Embedded / Smart Wallets

If you choose to use an embedded / smart wallet:

* The wallet is provided and secured by a specialized **wallet infrastructure provider** (e.g. Privy).
* Qwerti integrates this provider in the interface, but:
  * we do **not** generate or store your private keys
  * we do **not** have direct access to your wallet
  * we cannot sign or send transactions without your confirmation.

From a security perspective:

* Your login (social, email, etc.) is used by the wallet provider to manage access to your wallet.
* Qwerti acts as the **frontend and routing logic**, while the underlying wallet infrastructure handles key management using its own security model.

***

### 3. Transaction Approvals

Qwerti **never** pushes transactions to the blockchain without your explicit action.

For every transaction, you will:

1. See a **summary of the route** in the Qwerti interface:
   * source chain & token
   * target chain & token
   * estimated output amount
   * fees and providers involved (where applicable)
2. Be asked to **confirm the transaction** in:
   * your own wallet, or
   * your embedded / smart wallet interface, or
   * the fiat on-ramp provider UI (for card payments).

Only after you:

* review
* and confirm / sign

does the transaction go on-chain or proceed via the fiat provider.

If you close the page or reject the request in your wallet, the transaction is not executed.

***

### 4. What Qwerti Does and Does Not Do

#### 4.1 What Qwerti Does

* Builds **routes** across:
  * DEX aggregators
  * bridges
  * fiat on-ramps
* Provides a **single UX** for:
  * swap with crypto
  * buy with card
  * bridge + swap flows
* Connects to your wallet in a **non-custodial** way.
* Shows you quotes, estimated outputs, and providers involved.
* Sends the prepared transaction(s) to your wallet for **approval**.

#### 4.2 What Qwerti Does Not Do

* Does **not** store or access:
  * your private keys
  * your seed phrases
* Does **not** move your funds without your explicit consent.
* Does **not** execute on-chain actions in the background without your signature (for non-custodial wallets).
* Does **not** guarantee profits, price stability, or risk-free usage of DeFi.

You remain in full control of your assets at all times.

***

### 5. Trusted Infrastructure & Routing Providers

Qwerti integrates only with **reputable, battle-tested providers** in the ecosystem.\
Our routing layer is built on top of well-established protocols and services, such as:

* **Swaps & Aggregators / DEX Routers**
  * Jupiter (Solana)
  * 1inch
  * 0x
  * other leading DEX / routing protocols
* **Bridges & Cross-Chain Liquidity**
  * Relay
  * OKX bridge / routing stack
  * other ecosystem-validated bridge providers
* **Wallet & Account Abstraction**
  * Privy (for embedded / smart wallets and account flows)
  * other audited wallet infrastructure solutions
* **Fiat On-Ramps**
  * MoonPay
  * and similar regulated providers that handle:
    * card payments
    * KYC / AML checks
    * fiat → crypto conversions

Each provider:

* operates its own infrastructure and security model
* may be regulated in its own jurisdiction
* is responsible for:
  * key management (for wallets)
  * liquidity
  * compliance (KYC / AML)
  * and transaction processing within its domain.

Qwerti’s job is to **aggregate** these providers into a single, coherent user experience, not to replace their security layers.

***

### 6. Data & Privacy (High Level)

Qwerti only collects the minimum data needed to:

* connect your wallet
* build and route your transactions
* provide analytics for partners (e.g. number of unique wallets, volumes, transactions per campaign)

We do **not** collect:

* your private keys
* your raw seed phrase
* full control over your funds.

Where possible, analytics are processed in an **aggregated and pseudonymous** way, focusing on:

* number of wallets
* transaction counts
* volumes

rather than personal identity.

Specific providers (e.g. MoonPay, other on-ramps) may require:

* KYC information
* identity verification
* bank/card data

This information is handled directly by those providers under their own privacy and compliance policies, not by Qwerti.

***

### 7. Your Responsibilities & Best Practices

Even with a secure, non-custodial design, crypto always carries risk.\
We recommend following these best practices:

* Never share your **seed phrase** or **private key** with anyone, including Qwerti or any “support” claiming to be us.
* Always double-check the URL (e.g. `app.qwerti.ai`, `docs.qwerti.ai`) to avoid phishing.
* Keep your browser, wallet extensions, and OS up to date.
* Be cautious with:
  * unknown tokens
  * high slippage settings
  * very illiquid assets
* If something feels suspicious, **stop** and verify via official Qwerti channels.

***

#### In short:

Qwerti is a **non-custodial aggregator** that only acts with your approval, integrates with **trusted providers** like Jupiter, Relay, OKX, 1inch, 0x, Privy, MoonPay and others, and keeps you in full control of your assets while simplifying the UX around them.
