General Security Principles at Darkex: Core Pillars of Digital Asset Protection
At Darkex, security is not a feature — it is an architectural imperative. In an environment where billions in value move across decentralized rails and traditional safeguards fall short, robust, multi-layered security principles are essential. This article outlines the foundational security principles that underpin Darkex’s infrastructure, operational philosophy and commitment to our clients.
At Darkex, security is not a feature — it is an architectural imperative. In an environment where billions in value move across decentralized rails and traditional safeguards fall short, robust, multi-layered security principles are essential. This article outlines the foundational security principles that underpin Darkex’s infrastructure, operational philosophy and commitment to our clients.
1. MPC-Backed Custody Architecture
Darkex custody wallets are built on Multi-Party Computation (MPC), which allows cryptographic operations to be executed across multiple distributed parties without ever exposing private key fragments. Unlike conventional storage methods, this setup ensures that no single point of failure exists.
La integración de MPC se refuerza aún más con:
- Mecanismos automáticos de actualización de claves, que minimizan el riesgo de exposición de claves a largo plazo
- Compatibilidad agnóstica de la cadena, lo que permite la custodia segura a través de diversas cadenas de bloques.
- Estándares de encriptación de nivel empresarial, que garantizan la integridad y la confidencialidad.
Esto constituye la base criptográfica de nuestro modelo de seguridad de monederos.
2. Distributed Risk Management Infrastructure
Darkex operates on a distributed architecture that separates critical services — such as memory matching, market order persistence, and state machine layers — across independent nodes. This segmentation minimizes attack surfaces and allows for automated recovery protocols in the event of disruption.
Furthermore, our risk control systems operate in real time, dynamically identifying anomalies in user behavior and transaction flows. This includes high-frequency risk scoring models applied at both wallet and trading engine levels.
3. Compliance-Integrated Security Controls
Regulatory alignment is intrinsic to our security posture. Darkex enforces a compliance-first model by embedding:
- AML & Sanction Screening (via partnerships with Sumsub, Alchemy Pay, and Trustformer)
- Canales de verificación KYC/KYB
- Gestión de casos en tiempo real y marcos de diligencia debida
Esta pila unificada permite cumplir sin fisuras las expectativas normativas mundiales, al tiempo que garantiza la integridad de la plataforma.
4. Server, Database & Account-Level Security Framework
Cada capa del sistema Darkex está reforzada según una estricta matriz de seguridad:
- Server-side protection via intrusion detection systems, access gating, and isolation
- Database-level encryption with field-level access policies
- User account controls including enforced 2FA, session tracking, and device fingerprinting
- Backend management firewalls restricting administrative access to internal-only trusted environments
Esta segmentación interna constituye la espina dorsal de nuestro compromiso de cero fugas.
5. Cold & Hot Wallet Separation with Real-Time Auditing
Digital asset custody is segmented across hot and cold wallets, managed by an MPC framework and subjected to continuous auditing of deposit/withdrawal pipelines. All fiat and crypto transactions undergo compliance filtering before execution, protecting users and partners against illicit flow exposure.
