User Authentication: XPulse requires users to create a strong password and provides the option to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security during login.

- Non-Custodial Wallets: XPulse does not store users’ private keys, as users are responsible for the management of their own wallets. However, we provide guidance on secure wallet practices.
- Smart Contract Audits: The smart contracts governing HYPN tokens are regularly audited by independent security firms to ensure that there are no vulnerabilities or loopholes that could be exploited.
