Security ​

This setup is designed for easy user experience, however, you must keep your account, QZAR session, backup keys, and trading funds safe. Always protect your main login details.

Use a dedicated trading wallet ​

  • Keep long-term holdings in a separate wallet that is never imported into a trading bot
  • Fund QZAR with the capital needed for your active strategy
  • Use multiple wallets or groups for your trading setup, not as a substitute for proper backups
  • Withdraw unused funds when you stop trading actively

Protect recovery material ​

Your private key or recovery phrase can restore the wallet and authorize transactions. Anyone who obtains it can move funds without QZAR knowledge.

  • Write it down offline and store it securely
  • Do not keep it in messages, screenshots, email, browser storage, or cloud notes
  • Never send it to support
  • Run the backup and see if it restores the expected public address before
Exposed recovery material means an exposed wallet
If a private key or recovery phrase appears in a chat, screenshot, screen share, cloud note, or untrusted device, assume it is compromised. Create a fresh wallet and move remaining assets; changing the QZAR wallet password cannot rotate an exposed key.

Protect Telegram ​

  1. Enable Telegram two-step verification
  2. Review Settings → Devices and terminate unknown sessions
  3. Add an app passcode or biometric lock
  4. Hide message previews on the lock screen
  5. Treat QR login codes and one-time codes as secrets

Wallet PIN in QZAR ​

QZAR requires a PIN before revealing a private key. This reduces accidental or unauthorized use of the export action inside the bot. It does not revoke a key that was already exposed and it doesn't protect against every compromised session.

Automation remains active while you are away
Automation changes the threat model: limit orders and auto trade can execute while you are away. Review active orders after changing a strategy, moving funds, or suspecting account compromise.

If you suspect compromise ​

  1. Stop active orders and disable auto trade if you can safely access QZAR
  2. From a trusted device, create a new wallet whose recovery material has never been exposed
  3. Move remaining assets to the new address
  4. Terminate and/or change 2-step verification credentials
  5. Contact QZAR only through links on qzar.io, never share your secret recovery materials
