Frequently Asked Questions

XColdPro uses AES-256-CBC with HMAC-SHA256 verification and PBKDF2 key derivation with 500,000 iterations. This is the same encryption standard classified as TOP SECRET by the U.S. Department of Defense and used by intelligence agencies worldwide. No known attack — including quantum computing — can break AES-256 within any practical timeframe.

Your funds remain completely safe. Reverse-engineering the software reveals only standard BIP-39/BIP-44 implementations, address generation logic, and interface design — all of which are publicly known cryptographic standards. What attackers cannot obtain is your seed phrase (never stored anywhere accessible), your master password (only you know it), your private keys (encrypted with AES-256), or your funds (protected by mathematics, not by code secrecy). Additionally, our proprietary memory protection technology, data creation techniques, and Sentinel Guard threat detection architecture add layers that go far beyond what code analysis can bypass.

XColdPro is designed to provide robust protection on any machine through its ten-layer security architecture, including active threat neutralization that detects and eliminates keyloggers, clipboard hijackers, screen capture malware, and phishing attacks in real time.

However, for maximum security, XColdPro can be deployed on a dedicated air-gapped system — a computer that has never been and will never be connected to any network. The platform is engineered to function fully in either configuration. Your choice depends on your threat model and the value of the assets you are protecting.

Your private keys are secured by AES-256 TOP SECRET–rated encryption — the same standard used to protect classified government information. XColdPro applies this encryption across ten independent security layers, meaning there is no single point of failure in the cryptographic architecture.

Keys are never exposed in plaintext outside of the encrypted environment. Triple-pass NSA-standard memory clearing ensures that sensitive data does not persist in system memory after a session ends.

XColdPro uses anti-forensic file architecture. Wallet files appear as ordinary system cache with no identifiable signature of cryptocurrency storage. Hidden system attributes and stealth file naming ensure that even a forensic examination of the device does not reveal the presence of digital assets.

Additionally, XColdPro's proprietary seed protocol means that even if an adversary somehow identifies and accesses your encrypted files, the seed cannot be imported into any other wallet application. It functions exclusively within the XColdPro ecosystem.

XColdPro is not bound to a single physical device in the way a hardware wallet is. With your backup credentials, you can restore your wallets on any compatible air-gapped computer. There is no replacement device to order, no shipping to wait for, and no manufacturer dependency.

Detailed backup and recovery procedures will be published with the full operational documentation at general availability.

Standard BIP39 seed phrases can be imported into any compatible wallet — which means anyone who obtains your 24 words can access your funds from any device, anywhere. XColdPro's proprietary seed protocol changes this: seeds generated within XColdPro are cryptographically bound to the XColdPro ecosystem and cannot be imported into any other wallet application.

This provides an additional layer of protection in coercion scenarios — even if an adversary obtains your seed phrase, it is architecturally useless outside of XColdPro.

XColdPro includes built-in defenses that operate at the application level in real time. These defenses detect and neutralize keyloggers, clipboard hijackers, screen capture malware, and phishing attacks — without requiring any configuration from the user.

Encrypted keypad input bypasses keystroke logging entirely. Clipboard monitoring detects address-swap attacks before transactions are signed. These protections are always active from the moment the application launches.

When XColdPro exits — or when sensitive operations complete — all cryptographic material in system memory is overwritten three times using NSA-standard sanitization methods. This prevents recovery of private keys, seed phrases, or session data through memory forensics, cold boot attacks, or memory dump analysis.

No successful attack against a properly configured XColdPro implementation has been documented.
