# Security

> Who controls your funds, what you sign, and how to protect your wallet.

Range is non-custodial. Your tokens and positions stay under the control of your own wallet. Range never holds your private keys and cannot move your funds without your signature.

## What Range can and cannot do

| Range can                                           | Range cannot                                                 |
| --------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Read public onchain data about pools and positions. | Access your private key or seed phrase.                      |
| Prepare a transaction for you to review.            | Submit a transaction from your wallet without your approval. |
| Show your positions and unclaimed fees.             | Withdraw, claim, or move your liquidity on its own.          |

Your positions live in Uniswap V3 and V4 contracts, not in a Range account. If Range were unavailable, you could still manage them through any compatible Uniswap interface.

## What you sign

| Request             | What it does                                                                                       |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Sign-in message** | Proves you own the address. It is free and cannot move funds.                                      |
| **Token approval**  | Lets a contract spend a set amount of one token, usually through Uniswap's Permit2 with an expiry. |
| **Transaction**     | Creates, claims from, or withdraws a position. It costs gas.                                       |

Before you confirm, check the network, the contract, the token amounts, and the approval amount in your wallet. Reject any request you did not start.

## Protect your wallet

* Never share your seed phrase or private key. Range will never ask for them.
* Open Range only from `https://range.fun`, and bookmark it.
* Treat direct messages offering support or airdrops as scams. Official announcements come only from [@rangedotfun](https://x.com/rangedotfun) on X.
* Review and revoke token approvals you no longer need.
* Consider a hardware wallet for larger positions.

## Risks Range does not remove

Range does not audit or endorse tokens, pools, or hooks. Smart contract, token, and market risks still apply. See [risks and tradeoffs](/learn/risks).
