In the world of digital assets, security is a more precious foundation than gold. CoinEx understands this deeply and has built an impenetrable defense for its more than 4 million users worldwide. Its core strategy involves storing over 98% of user assets in completely offline cold wallets, akin to storing wealth in an underground vault physically isolated from the internet and protected by multiple physical locks and biometric technology. Complementing this is a hot wallet, acting as a rigorously secure defense, storing less than 2% of assets for daily withdrawals. Through private key multi-signature and fragmented storage technology, it ensures that even if a single node is compromised, attackers cannot steal any assets. This cold/hot wallet isolation architecture effectively reduces the probability of asset loss due to cyberattacks to well below the industry average of 0.01%.
Regarding risk monitoring and real-time defense, CoinEx has deployed an intelligent risk control engine capable of analyzing over 100,000 transactions per second. This system can capture abnormal logins, high-frequency API calls, or suspicious address transfers within 0.1 seconds. For example, when the system detects that an account has initiated a large withdrawal request from an IP address it has never logged into within 3 minutes, it will automatically trigger secondary verification and temporarily freeze the operation until manual review and confirmation. In 2023, this system successfully intercepted over 12,000 phishing attacks and over 3,000 credential stuffing attempts, reducing asset losses not caused by user error by 99.5%. Its risk control model’s accuracy has been improved to 99.98% through continuous machine learning, while the false positive rate is controlled at an extremely low level of 0.05%.
Compliance and transparency are another key factor in CoinEx’s success in gaining trust. The platform strictly adheres to the guidelines of the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the anti-money laundering (AML) regulations of over 30 jurisdictions worldwide, implementing a rigorous KYC (Know Your Customer) process for all users. This means that every transfer exceeding $10,000 undergoes at least three layers of compliance review regarding the source and destination of funds. Furthermore, CoinEx regularly releases Proof of Reserves reports issued by top-tier third-party auditing firms, providing users with 100% transparent on-chain data to demonstrate that its reserves fully cover or even exceed users’ total assets. This quarterly audit frequency far exceeds the annual practice of many platforms in the industry, offering users continuous confidence.
Finally, CoinEx views security as an ecosystem co-built with its users. The platform invests over $5 million annually in a dedicated security bug bounty program, encouraging white-hat hackers worldwide to discover and report potential vulnerabilities, with a maximum reward of $100,000 per bug report. Simultaneously, its security team pushes customized security knowledge to users weekly, covering topics such as two-factor authentication (2FA) setup and identifying new phishing websites. Regarding efficiency in responding to emergencies, CoinEx has a global emergency response team that can be activated within 15 minutes, ensuring that users’ assets and data are protected immediately in the event of any significant market volatility or potential security alerts. Through this multi-dimensional integration of technology, risk control, compliance, and community education, CoinEx is committed to bringing the probability of security risks as close to zero as possible.
