Security & trust
Your funds, protected by design
Security is built into how QuataTrade works — not bolted on. Here are the real controls, in plain language.
Escrow on every trade
The seller’s crypto is locked until they confirm payment. No trade releases funds automatically without that confirmation.
2FA & transaction PIN
Two-factor authentication and a separate transaction PIN are required to withdraw or release funds.
Cold storage
Most funds are held in cold storage under the operator’s hardware keys. Only a small operational float is kept online, with strict caps.
Isolated signing
The website never holds spending keys. Withdrawals are signed by an isolated service with independent caps — so a compromised website cannot drain funds.
Verified identities
Identity verification (KYC) and deterministic risk checks help keep fraudsters out. Every verification is reviewed by a person.
Tamper-evident audit
Every sensitive action is written to an append-only, hash-chained audit log, and balances are tracked on a double-entry ledger that reconciles against the blockchain.
What you can do to stay safe
- • Turn on 2FA and set a transaction PIN in your security center.
- • Confirm the money is in YOUR own account before releasing a trade — a screenshot is not proof.
- • Only pay from an account in your own name, and never trade for someone else.
- • Double-check the address and network (USDT on TRON / TRC20) before withdrawing.
