User Safety

Here's an overview of the security features and practices we implement at Shizmo:

Robust User Authentication at Shizmo

Contractual Agreement for NFT Creators

At Shizmo, we understand the importance of verifying the identity and intent of our users, particularly those who wish to sell NFTs on our platform. Instead of 2FA, we require all NFT creators to sign a terms and conditions contract. This contract is a crucial step in our onboarding process, setting forth the ethical standards and responsibilities of our sellers. It helps ensure that each creator is committed to upholding the integrity and trustworthiness of our marketplace.

Comprehensive Verification Process

Our focus is on a stringent verification process for creators who wish to list NFTs on Shizmo. This process involves a thorough review of identity documents and other relevant information to establish the authenticity of the creator. By doing so, we aim to build a community of verified sellers, which enhances the overall security of transactions on our platform.

Secure Account Practices

We encourage all users to adopt strong password policies, including the use of unique, complex passwords that are changed regularly. Additionally, we provide guidance on recognizing and avoiding phishing attempts and other common online threats. Our support team is always ready to assist with security concerns and to help users protect their accounts.

Ongoing Monitoring and Support

Our security team continuously monitors for suspicious activity, and we have protocols in place for rapid response to any security incidents. We aim to address potential vulnerabilities proactively and to support our users in case of any security-related issues.

By focusing on a robust contractual agreement process for creators and comprehensive verification, coupled with strong password practices and diligent monitoring, Shizmo remains a secure platform for trading NFTs. We're committed to evolving our security measures to meet the needs of our users and to maintain the highest standards of safety and trust in the NFT space.

Secure Wallet Integration

• Trusted Digital Wallets: Users can connect their Ethereum or Polygon compatible wallets, ensuring secure and trusted interactions with the Shizmo marketplace.

• Multi-Signature Wallets: We recommend the use of multi-signature wallets, which require multiple keys to authorize a transaction, providing an additional layer of security.

Infrastructure Security

• Cold Storage: A significant portion of the platform's assets is stored in cold storage, disconnected from the internet, to guard against online attacks.

• Encryption: Utilizing SSL/TLS protocols, we encrypt data transferred between users and the marketplace, ensuring privacy and data integrity.

• Smart Contract Audits: We conduct thorough audits of our smart contracts, carried out by reputable third-party firms, to identify and rectify any vulnerabilities.

Ongoing Monitoring and Incident Response

• Regular Security Audits: Our platform undergoes frequent security audits and penetration testing to proactively detect and address potential vulnerabilities.

• Anomaly Detection: We have advanced systems in place to monitor transactions in real-time, detect any unusual activities, and promptly respond to any potential security threats.

User Education and Support

• Security Best Practices: Shizmo provides educational resources to users, emphasizing the importance of security best practices such as safe password management and recognizing phishing attempts.

• Responsive Support: Users can reach out to our dedicated support team for any security concerns or issues they may encounter on the platform.

Additional Security Measures

• Withdrawal and IP Whitelists: Users have the option to implement withdrawal address whitelisting for withdrawals and IP whitelisting to restrict account access to designated IP addresses.

• Secure Payment Gateways: We integrate secure payment gateways to ensure smooth and secure transaction processing.

By implementing these robust security measures, Shizmo aims to provide a secure and trustworthy environment for trading a wide range of assets as NFTs, both digital and physical, on the Ethereum and Polygon blockchains. Our commitment to security is unwavering, and we continuously refine our protocols to stay at the forefront of blockchain and NFT marketplace security.
