Noma is fully non-custodial. Your keys never leave your device, your funds sit in a smart contract only you control, and every trade settles on-chain where anyone can verify it.

Non-custodial architecture

  • Embedded wallets are created and managed by Privy. Private keys are generated on your device and never sent to noma’s servers.
  • Trading Safes are Gnosis Safe smart contracts on Polygon. Only your embedded wallet can authorize transactions. Noma cannot access, move, or freeze your funds.
  • Trading credentials are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM before being stored on noma’s backend.

Transaction security

Every transaction on noma is:
  1. Signed by you — You approve each transaction with your wallet. Noma’s relayer can only submit transactions you’ve explicitly authorized.
  2. On-chain — All trades execute on Polygon and are verifiable on Polygonscan.
  3. Gasless but secure — Noma pays gas fees via a relayer, but the relayer cannot modify or redirect your signed transactions.

Data protection

  • Authentication is handled by Privy — wallet, email, Twitter, and Discord sign-in
  • Sessions use HttpOnly cookies with secure flags
  • No sensitive data is stored in local storage or exposed to client-side JavaScript
