Launchpad Trade API Security
Launchpad Trade is built with security as a core principle. Your private keys are never stored, making our platform secure by design.

​
Security by Design

Your private keys are never stored. They’re transmitted, used to sign transactions, and immediately discarded.
This architecture means:
  • No database of wallets to hack: we don’t have your keys
  • A stolen API key is useless: attackers can’t do anything without your private keys
  • No single point of failure: your assets remain under your control
Even if someone gains access to your Launchpad Trade account or API key, they cannot access your funds without your private keys.

​
Encryption Standards

Your account data (email, API key) is stored in an encrypted database protected by:
  • KMS (Key Management Service): secure key storage and rotation
  • HMS (Hardware Security Module): hardware-level encryption

​
Transaction Flow

When you make a trade through the API, here’s what happens: 
You send request with private key
         ↓
    [TLS Encrypted]
         ↓
Launchpad Trade receives request
         ↓
Transaction is signed
         ↓
Transaction is broadcast to Solana
         ↓
Private key is immediately discarded
         ↓
Response returned to you
Your private key exists in our system only for the milliseconds needed to sign the transaction. It is never written to disk or logged.

​
Infrastructure

Your requests are protected by enterprise-grade security:
  • DDoS protection: automatic mitigation of attacks
  • TLS encryption: all traffic encrypted in transit
  • Private network database: isolated from public internet
  • Global edge network: low-latency, distributed infrastructure

​
Your Responsibilities

While we handle infrastructure security, you’re responsible for:
Your private keys are the master access to your wallets. Keep them:
  • In secure, encrypted storage
  • Never in client-side code or public repositories
  • Backed up in a safe location
Your API key authenticates your requests. Store it in environment variables and never expose it publicly.See Authentication for details.
Run your trading scripts on secure, trusted servers. Follow our Best Practices for optimal setup.
