How Solid keeps your funds safe

Solid is non-custodial and built with multiple layers of protection — from smart account infrastructure to real-time threat monitoring. Here's how it works.

Non-custodial by design

Solid is a non-custodial platform. Your funds are held in a smart contract wallet that only you can authorize. Nobody at Solid — or anywhere else — can move your assets without your explicit approval.

There are no seed phrases to manage. Your wallet is secured by passkeys tied to your device, protected by biometrics or PIN.


Safe smart account infrastructure

Every Solid account is powered by a Safe smart account — the same battle-tested infrastructure used by major DAOs and DeFi protocols to hold billions of dollars.

Key properties:

  • Multisig-level security, without manual setup

  • Gasless transactions via paymasters

  • Account recovery without seed phrases

  • Programmable controls for sensitive actions


Passkey login & secure key management (Turnkey)

Solid uses passkeys for authentication, backed by Turnkey — a specialist key management infrastructure provider.

  • No passwords

  • No seed phrases

  • Private keys never leave your device

  • Passkeys are phishing-resistant and bound to your device's secure hardware

Turnkey converts your passkey authentication into chain-compatible signatures, enabling onchain actions while maintaining strong security guarantees.


Real-time threat monitoring (Check Point)

Solid integrates Check Point, a global cybersecurity leader listed on NASDAQ and trusted by Fortune 500 companies.

Check Point continuously monitors Solid's onchain activity for:

  • Exploit attempts

  • Abnormal contract behavior

  • Protocol contagion risks

  • Irregular activity across vaults, bridges, and integrations

This functions as a DeFi-native firewall: always on, prevention-focused, designed to stop threats before damage occurs.


Vault-level security

Solid's vault system is built on ERC-4626 with additional safety layers:

  • Asynchronous redemptions to prevent abuse

  • Withdrawal queues for controlled liquidity release

  • Automated risk-based rebalancing

  • Strict permissioning for sensitive operations

Funds are routed only through trusted, diversified protocols. If abnormal risk is detected, operations can be paused automatically.


Withdrawal protection

Withdrawals from yield positions require a secure two-step process, preventing draining attacks and unauthorized automated transfers.
