🔐 Security Best Practices Implemented
- Defense in Depth: Multiple layers of authentication and data protection
- Principle of Least Privilege: Authentication only when necessary
- Client-Side Security: All sensitive operations and data handling occurs locally on the device
- Zero Trust Architecture: Every request is authenticated and authorized properly
- Privacy by Design: Wallet addresses and sensitive data are properly anonymized
- Secure by Default: Security features are enabled by default
