# Security

Security isn’t a feature at Grand — it’s the foundation. Every layer of our app is designed to protect your **funds, identity, and transactions**, so you can trade and invest with confidence.

### 🛡️ Core Security Principles

* **Self-Custody by Default**\
  You own your wallet and keys. Grand never takes control of your assets — eliminating counterparty risk.
* **Passkey & Biometric Login**\
  Sign in with Apple or Google, secured by a **passkey** bound to your device. Every trade, transfer, or setting change requires biometric approval (Face ID / Touch ID).
* **Audited Smart Contracts**\
  Independent audits validate the integrity of our contracts and infrastructure.
* **No Hidden Risks**\
  All assets are held on-chain, visible and verifiable — not with intermediaries.

🛡️ **Peace of mind, built-in.** From login to execution, Grand protects you at every step.

* **Social Recovery (Coming Soon)** → If you lose your device, you’ll be able to recover access safely without exposing your private keys.

### ✅ Audited-Only Listings

At Grand, safety comes first. That’s why we only list:

* **Audited Tokens** → Assets backed by reputable audits and proven security standards.
* **Verified Protocols** → DeFi protocols and vaults with third-party reviews.
* **Trusted dApps** → Applications integrated into Grand must pass both **security and reliability checks**.

This approach ensures that every product you access inside Grand — from perps to tokenized assets and savings vaults — is **transparent, audited, and trustworthy**.

> 🔒 **No shortcuts, no unverified contracts.** Only secure, audited products make it into Grand.
