Security & Fund Safety
Aurono is designed with security as a core principle.
Your funds always remain on your own exchange account.
Aurono only executes actions you explicitly allow.
This page explains why your funds are safe and what your role is in keeping them safe.
1. Aurono Is Only Accessible on Your Local Network
Section titled “1. Aurono Is Only Accessible on Your Local Network”Aurono runs locally on your own device.
Important points:
- Aurono is not publicly accessible
- There is no cloud dashboard
- There is no central Aurono account
You can access Aurono only:
- From your local network
- Or through a network connection you explicitly control
This means:
- No one can log in to your Aurono from the internet
- There is no central server that can be attacked
2. Aurono Uses Exchange API Keys
Section titled “2. Aurono Uses Exchange API Keys”Aurono communicates with exchanges (such as Kraken, Bitvavo, or Coinbase) using API credentials.
An API key allows Aurono to:
- Place buy and sell orders
- Retrieve market data
- Read balances
Important to understand
Section titled “Important to understand”If someone else gains access to your API credentials:
- They could place orders on your behalf
- Just like Aurono would
For this reason, it is important to:
- Never share your API keys
- Store them only in Aurono
- Revoke them immediately if you have doubts
Aurono stores API credentials:
- Locally
- Encrypted
- Never externally
3. API Keys Must Not Allow Withdrawals
Section titled “3. API Keys Must Not Allow Withdrawals”This is a critical security safeguard.
When creating an API key on your exchange, you must explicitly:
- Disable withdrawal permissions
- Disable transfer permissions
Aurono requires this configuration.
What this means in practice
Section titled “What this means in practice”Even if:
- Someone obtains your API key
- Or Aurono itself is misused
Then:
- Funds cannot be withdrawn from your exchange
- Funds cannot be transferred to external wallets
The exchange enforces this restriction.
Aurono can only:
- Buy
- Sell
- Operate within your exchange account
What Aurono Cannot Do
Section titled “What Aurono Cannot Do”Aurono can never:
- Withdraw funds from your exchange
- Transfer assets to external wallets
- Move funds off the exchange
- Take control of your exchange account
These actions are technically impossible without withdrawal permissions.
Your Responsibility
Section titled “Your Responsibility”Aurono is designed to be secure, but you remain responsible for:
- Correctly configuring API permissions
- Securing your local network
- Revoking API keys when necessary
Recommended best practices:
- Use one API key per Aurono device
- Revoke API keys immediately if Aurono is no longer in use
- Never create API keys with withdrawal permissions
Summary
Section titled “Summary”Your funds are safe because:
- Aurono is accessible only on your local network
- Funds always remain on your exchange
- API keys do not allow withdrawals
- Exchanges themselves enforce withdrawal restrictions
- Aurono executes only what you configure
Aurono automates strategy execution,
not control over your funds.
