Your Crypto Security is Our Priority
Military-Grade Encryption, Security Audits, Non-Custodial Protection
Security isn't a feature. It's a requirement. Meton Wallet is built on the principle that your crypto is your asset β backed by military-grade encryption and Security audits.
Security Foundation
How We Protect Your Crypto
The single most important security decision: non-custodial architecture.
Traditional Exchange (Custodial)
- βYou send crypto to exchange
- βExchange holds your private keys
- βExchange controls your funds
- βIf exchange is hacked β Your funds are STOLEN
Meton Wallet (Non-Custodial)
- βYou create wallet on your device
- βYour device generates private keys
- βYou keep your private keys
- βMeton never sees your keys
- βIf Meton is hacked β Your funds are SAFE
Real Advantage
You're not trusting Meton with your funds. You're trusting Meton to not interfere with your funds.
Military-Grade Encryption
Three layers of encryption protect your crypto at rest, in transit, and end-to-end.
AES-256 Encryption
The same encryption used by the U.S. government, military, NSA, and banks. 256-bit key length β 2Β²β΅βΆ possible combinations. Practically unbreakable.
What's Protected
- Private keys
- Seed phrases
- Passwords
- Personal information
TLS 1.3 In Transit
Encrypts all data traveling over the internet. Man-in-the-middle attacks are impossible. Even intercepted traffic is unreadable gibberish.
What's Protected
- All server connections
- API calls
- Sync operations
- Push notifications
End-to-End Encryption
Data is encrypted on YOUR device and stays encrypted until only you decrypt it. Even Meton employees cannot see your data.
What's Protected
- Encrypted on device
- Server stores encrypted only
- Only you can decrypt
- Zero plaintext exposure
Independent Security Verification
We don't just say we're secure β we prove it through independent third-party audits.
Audit Scope
- β Smart contract security

If Something Goes Wrong
Suspected compromise? Act immediately. Every second matters.

Don't do any more transactions. Move to safe device. Close Meton app immediately.
Step 02: Assess
Check your balance. Any unexpected transactions? Did you click a suspicious link or share your recovery seed?
Step 03: Protect
Create new wallet on clean device. Write new recovery seed. Transfer funds from old wallet to new wallet if possible.
Step 04: Recover
If old wallet is accessible: move all funds out. If inaccessible: create new wallet. Report to Meton security team.
Step 05: Learn
Identify what went wrong. Update security practices. Never repeat the same mistake.
Security FAQ
Answers to the most common security questions.
Can Meton Access My Private Keys?
No. Non-custodial means your keys stay on your device. Meton never sees them. This is by design.
What If Meton Is Hacked?
Your crypto is safe. Your keys are on your device, encrypted. Even if servers are compromised, your keys are protected.
How Do I Know Meton Is Secure?
Independent third-party audits. Published audit results. Bug bounty program. Regular penetration testing. Community trust.
Should I Use Meton for Large Amounts?
Yes. Non-custodial security is best for any amount. For maximum security: use hardware wallet + Meton for daily use.
What If I Lose My Recovery Seed?
Your crypto is lost. Unrecoverable. No customer service can help. This is why you must back it up safely in multiple locations.
Can Someone Hack My Wallet?
To hack your wallet, they need your device + your biometric + your recovery seed. All three together? Nearly impossible.
What If My Device Gets Malware?
Recovery seed is safe (not on device). Private keys are encrypted. Biometric protects transactions. Malware can't steal encrypted keys.
Should I Use Meton or Hardware Wallet?
Both. Hardware wallet for savings (maximum security). Meton for daily spending (convenience + good security).
Is Crypto Security Better or Worse Than Banks?
Different trade-offs. Banks: convenient recovery, regulatory protection, but trust banks. Crypto: maximum control, no recovery, you're responsible.
How Often Should I Update Meton?
Always immediately. Updates include security patches. Older versions have known vulnerabilities that attackers exploit.
