• Anti-Phishing Codes – Personalized codes in emails to verify legitimacy.

2. Platform Security

• Cold Storage – Majority of user funds are kept offline to prevent hacking.
• Multi-Signature Wallets – Requires multiple approvals for transactions.
• Whitelisting Addresses – Restricts withdrawals to pre-approved wallet addresses.
• Withdrawal Confirmation Emails – Verifies user identity before fund transfers.

3. Regulatory Compliance

• KYC (Know Your Customer) – Identity verification to prevent fraud and money laundering.

• Insurance Coverage – Some exchanges provide insurance against hacks or losses.

4. Data Protection
