# Wallet Security Guidelines

### 🔐 **Web3 Wallet Private Keys Are Crucial**

Once a private key falls into the wrong hands, your assets can be completely drained. However, executing batch operations often requires using the private key, as it is impossible to sign multiple wallets simultaneously without it.

### To address such needs, there are two widely used types of tool in the market:

1. **Telegram Bots (TG BOT):** TG BOTs inherently require access to private keys to sign transactions, making them a common choice for batch operations.
2. **Web-based Tool (e.g., CiaoTool):** These tool can execute transactions on the backend after obtaining private keys. However, this method comes with significant risks.
   * **Trust:** The platform must be highly trustworthy.
   * **Security:** The platform must have robust measures to protect private keys (e.g., the dexx server hack is a typical risk example).

### ✅ **How Does CiaoTool Keep Your Private Keys Safe?**

CiaoTool uses a **client-side signing mechanism**, meaning your private key is **never uploaded or stored on any server**. All transactions are signed locally within your browser, ensuring that the platform is **technically incapable of accessing or stealing your private key**. For users who perform frequent operations, we also offer an **optional local encrypted storage** feature — balancing convenience with maximum security.

### 🛡️ **How to Ensure Private Keys Are Only Used for Local Signing**

Any frontend tool that wants to access a private key must make an HTTPS request to send the key to a backend server. To verify this, you can inspect the tool's network activity:

1. Open **Chrome Browser**.
2. Right-click and select **Inspect**.
3. Navigate to **Network** -> **Fetch/XHR**.
4. Check if any requests send your private key to the backend (excluding third-party RPC interfaces like Helius for on-chain data).
