Wallet Security Cluster

Wallet, Treasury, Session, and Delegated Authority Controls

This cluster covers how wallet-facing systems fail when approvals, sessions, custody tiers, signer habits, and delegated permissions are weakly bounded. Use it to move from broad wallet threat models into treasury-specific and operationally sensitive wallet controls.

The shortest answer is this: start here when the real issue is how wallets gain, keep, delegate, or misuse authority over value, sessions, approvals, and treasury movement.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

When should teams start with the wallet security cluster?

Teams should start with the wallet security cluster when the active risk involves approvals, wallet sessions, treasury controls, delegated authority, device exposure, or how value can move from user-facing or privileged wallets.

What is the difference between wallet security and operational security?

Wallet security focuses on custody, sessions, approvals, wallet roles, treasury access, and delegated permissions. Operational security focuses more on signer workflow, execution discipline, frontend risk, and human-layer execution mistakes.

Which pages matter most in this cluster?

The most important wallet pages usually cover the threat model, approval abuse, wallet drains, session hijacking, session revocation, risk classification, destination controls, and treasury tiering.
