Introduction
How QUVR works
The non-custodial architecture behind every QUVR feature.
QUVR is a client, not a custodian. There is no QUVR-controlled wallet, vault, or omnibus account holding your assets at any point. Every feature falls into one of two categories:
- Read-only — prices, portfolio balances, Trenches analytics, security checks, and wallet reports. These come from on-chain reads and third-party data (GMGN) and never require a signature.
- State-changing — a bridge send, a token launch, a buy/sell, connecting your wallet. These always require you to approve and sign a transaction (or a sign-in message) directly in your own wallet. QUVR constructs the transaction and shows you what it does; your wallet is the only place that can authorize it.
Sign-In with Ethereum (SIWE)
Connecting your wallet to QUVR uses SIWE (Sign-In with Ethereum) to verify you control the address, purely for identity — for example, so your watchlist and alerts are tied to your address. Signing a SIWE message does not grant QUVR any spending approval, token allowance, or custody over your assets. It's the same category of signature as "prove you own this address," not "authorize a transaction."
What QUVR does not do
- QUVR never asks for a seed phrase or private key, in-app or otherwise.
- QUVR never pre-approves unlimited token allowances on your behalf without a visible wallet prompt.
- QUVR never moves funds without a transaction you signed yourself.
Warning
Anyone who contacts you claiming to be QUVR support and asking for your seed phrase, private key, or remote screen access is attempting a scam. QUVR support will never ask for any of these.
