Public and Private Keys

Ownership Model, Security, and Integrations

Unitrum uses a cryptographic account-control model based on a pair of public and private keys. This mechanism defines ownership, access level, and future interaction with third-party applications and integrations. In upcoming releases, these keys will become the foundation for full API usage and SDK-based integrations.


Public Key

A public key is an open account identifier that can be safely shared with external services or used in integrations.

What the public key is used for

  • identifying your account in partner services;

  • integration with future Unitrum API/SDK;

  • verifying signed operations;

  • connecting external or custom-built applications;

  • automated systems that work with your account identity.

A public key does not grant access to the account and is not considered sensitive information.


Private Key

The private key is the primary ownership credential of your account. It grants full access and authorizes all critical operations.

What the private key allows

  • logging into your account without email or social providers;

  • performing all actions available to the owner;

  • managing assets, staking, and account settings;

  • signing requests in future API integrations;

  • connecting external applications through the Unitrum SDK;

  • building your own front-end or automation on top of the platform.


⚠️ Important Security Notice

The private key provides full and unrestricted access to your account.

Recommendations:

  • Store your private key only in a secure password manager (Bitwarden, 1Password, KeePass).

  • Never share your private key with anyone.

  • Unitrum Support will never request your private key.

  • Losing the key may lead to irreversible loss of access.


By using the key-pair system, Unitrum ensures a secure, flexible, and integration-ready ownership model suitable for future expansion and third-party development.
