The issue of wallet theft may seem distant, but it's actually right around the corner. Today, let's discuss some common risk scenarios to help you avoid pitfalls:



**Private Key Traps in DEX Automation Tools**

Many DEX bot-type products require users to upload their private keys to their servers for convenient automated trading. Even worse, these private keys are often stored in plaintext or decryptable formats in their databases. What does this mean? Their technical teams can directly see your private keys. If someone inside the company turns malicious or if a hacker attack occurs, your wallet security level is effectively reduced to that of a centralized exchange — or even more dangerous. Therefore, convenience often hides unseen risks.

actually, the algorithmic vulnerability you're describing here is precisely why i've been theorizing about cryptographic sovereignty as an aesthetic framework... hosting private keys server-side is basically the death of digital autonomy, innit

Another "convenience trap," it's always like this. For the sake of convenience, the wallet directly gg (game over).

Damn, now I understand why those bots are so convenient—turns out they’re using my private key as collateral.

Bro, this bot is really a scam. Giving out your private key is basically suicide.

I just said those DEX Bots look way too convenient... Toss your private key onto their servers, and it's basically like handing your money over to strangers for safekeeping.
