# Custody & Operational Controls

#### Purpose

Custody risk is existential for an exchange.

#### Control Layers

WorldX enforces:

* Segregation of customer assets and operating funds
* Layered wallet architecture
* Role separation for sensitive operations
* Approval gates with audit trails
* Monitoring and anomaly detection
* Emergency containment posture

#### Operational Discipline

Key changes (fees, listings policy, custody changes) follow change-control, not ad-hoc edits.
