Self-Custody Model
Lomen is built on a fundamental principle: you own your assets, always. Unlike traditional custodial platforms, your assets never leave your wallet. You maintain complete control and can exit any strategy at any time.How Self-Custody Works
When you use Lomen:- Your wallet stays yours: Assets remain in your wallet address
- You approve transactions: Every action requires your explicit approval
- No deposits required: We never hold your assets
- Exit anytime: You can withdraw or change strategies instantly
Security Guarantees
Non-Custodial Architecture
- No custody risk: We cannot access, freeze, or seize your assets
- No withdrawal limits: Your assets are always accessible
- No counterparty risk: You’re not trusting us with your funds
Smart Contract Security
While we don’t reveal specific implementation details, our security approach includes:- Audited protocols: We work with well-established, audited DeFi protocols
- Risk assessment: Our AI evaluates smart contract risks before recommending strategies
- Transparency: You can see exactly which protocols your basket uses
Transaction Security
- You control approvals: Every transaction requires your wallet signature
- Transaction preview: See exactly what will happen before approving
- No hidden fees: All costs are transparent upfront
Best Practices for Users
Wallet Security
Use Hardware Wallets
For significant amounts, use hardware wallets (Ledger, Trezor) for maximum
security.
Protect Your Seed Phrase
Never share your seed phrase or private keys with anyone, including Lomen
support.
Verify URLs
Always verify you’re on the official Lomen app (app.getlomen.com) before
connecting your wallet.
Review Transactions
Carefully review all transaction details before approving, especially
amounts and recipients.
Strategy Security
- Start small: Test with small amounts before committing larger capital
- Understand risks: Read strategy details and understand what protocols are involved
- Monitor regularly: Check your positions periodically to ensure everything is working as expected
- Stay informed: Keep up with protocol updates and market conditions
Common Security Concerns
”Can Lomen access my funds?”
No. Lomen never has custody of your assets. We only coordinate transactions that you approve. Your wallet and private keys remain entirely under your control.”What if Lomen goes offline?”
Your assets remain in your wallet and can be managed directly through the underlying protocols. While Lomen’s interface makes management easier, you’re not dependent on us for access to your funds.”Are the protocols safe?”
We evaluate protocol security as part of our strategy discovery process. However, all DeFi protocols carry smart contract risk. We recommend:- Only investing what you can afford to lose
- Diversifying across multiple protocols
- Staying informed about protocol security
”What about smart contract bugs?”
All DeFi protocols carry smart contract risk. We work with established, audited protocols, but no system is 100% risk-free. This is why we emphasize transparency — you can see exactly which protocols your basket uses.What Lomen Cannot Do
To be clear about the boundaries:- ❌ We cannot access your wallet or assets
