Is Zucoin safe and secure?

Zucoin is designed so users control their own wallet, keys, backups, and transaction decisions.

The Zucoin wallet app stores important wallet data locally on your device, while the Splitchain network caches transaction state needed for network operation.

This design helps reduce reliance on a central account holder, but it also means you must protect your device and wallet backup.

Important security practices

Keep your device locked and up to date.

Use the current Zucoin wallet app.

Back up your wallet and store the backup privately.

Never share your wallet backup file, private keys, or recovery information.

Check transaction details before confirming a transfer.

Transaction safety

Zucoin uses two-way transaction confirmation, so the receiver also needs to accept a transfer before it completes.

Newer wallet versions can also support transfer expiry settings for time-sensitive transfer codes.

These features help reduce mistakes and unwanted transfers, but they do not remove the need to check addresses, amounts, counterparties, and wallet security yourself.
