# Security & Privacy

### 🔐 Security & Privacy

Your safety and privacy are top priorities on PredictBase. The platform is built on a **non-custodial**, **transparent**, and **decentralized** foundation — meaning you stay in full control of your funds, data, and identity.

***

#### 🔒 Non-Custodial by Design

* ✅ You never deposit funds into a centralized account
* ✅ All USDC is stored in audited smart contracts on the **Base** blockchain
* ✅ Only you can authorize transactions via your connected wallet
* ✅ Winnings and refunds are claimed directly through the smart contract

There are **no middlemen**, no withdrawal buttons, and no login credentials — everything is handled **on-chain and trustlessly**.

***

#### 📜 Open-Source Smart Contracts

PredictBase’s core contracts are:

* Fully open-source
* Publicly verifiable on [BaseScan](https://basescan.org)
* Designed to minimize vulnerabilities and attack surfaces
* Routinely reviewed and being prepared for external audits

We also publish our **subgraph schema** and indexing logic for transparency and developer access.

***

***

#### 🕵️ Privacy-Respecting Platform

* We do **not collect any personal information**
* No account sign-up is required
* We don’t store email addresses, names, or wallet metadata
* No cookies, analytics, or tracking tools are embedded by default

Your activity is completely tied to your **public wallet address** and remains fully **transparent and permissionless** on-chain.

***

#### 🛡 Platform Integrity

To protect users and the platform:

* Markets with spam, scams, or unclear rules are rejected or canceled
* Security updates are prioritized continuously

***

#### 🚨 Scams & Fake Tokens

* We will **never** airdrop, DM, or promote “PB tokens” or similar
* Only trust official links:
  * <https://predictbase.app>
  * [https://predibot.xyz](https://predibot.xyz/)
  * <https://x.com/predictbase>
  * <https://x.com/predibot_>
