– Multiple Security Sensors:

SafePal is equipped with multiple security sensors that detect any strange activity pointing towards hacking or stealing assets from the wallet. In case of such attacks, the security sensors will automatically execute a self-destroy mechanism, wiping all security data, thus helping the user by preventing hackers from gaining the access to the private keys.

– Self-Destroy Mechanism:

As explained above, the wallet will automatically execute a self-destroy mechanism by erasing all wallet data if any threat is observed from the attacker. Users don’t have to worry about their assets as they will be secured on-chain. All you need is to remember the seed or mnemonic phrase to retrieve the crypto saved in the wallet.

There’re other security features that can be read from the SafePal docs.
