FAQ

Is Clique Wallet a custodial wallet?

Yes, Clique Wallet is a custodial wallet service. It is important to note that the private keys are technically controlled and secured by the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). This design ensures that even our own development and operations team cannot access user private keys, effectively protecting user key security.

How is Clique Wallet different from other wallet solutions?

Clique Wallet combines the convenience of custodial wallets with the security guarantees of self-custodial solutions. Traditional custodial wallets require users to trust service operators with their private keys, while self-custodial wallets require users to manage complex seed phrases. Clique Wallet eliminates this trade-off by using hardware-level security (TEE) to ensure that even service operators cannot access user private keys, while maintaining a frictionless user experience.

What blockchains does Clique Wallet support?

Clique Wallet supports Solana, EVM-compatible chains (including Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, BNB Smart Chain, HyperEVM, and more), and Hyperliquid (both HyperEVM and HyperCore). The architecture is extensible and can support additional blockchain networks as they gain adoption.

What authentication methods are supported?

Currently, Clique Wallet supports multiple authentication methods:

• Social OAuth (Google, X/Twitter, Telegram, Apple)

• Email and Phone verification

• External wallet connections (MetaMask, Phantom, Okx, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet, WalletConnect)

In the future, we will support more authentication methods.

Can I export my private keys?

Yes, Clique Wallet provides a secure export functionality that allows users to export their private keys through a two-step verification process. This ensures users maintain full control and ownership of their assets, providing an escape hatch if needed.

What happens if I lose access to my account?

If you've bound multiple authentication methods to your account, you can use any of them to regain access. However, if you've lost access to all authentication methods, we cannot help you recover your account. This is because Clique Wallet's security architecture ensures that even service operators cannot access user accounts or private keys. It's strongly recommended to bind multiple authentication methods (e.g., email, social login, external wallet) to your account for redundancy and to prevent account loss.

What happens if Clique Wallet's servers are compromised?

Even if an attacker gains access to Clique Wallet's servers, databases, or cloud infrastructure, private keys remain protected. The TEE's hardware-protected enclaves are cryptographically isolated from the host operating system, hypervisor, and cloud provider. Encrypted data stored in databases cannot be decrypted without access to the TEE's encryption keys, which remain protected within the secure enclaves.

Can Clique Wallet staff access my private keys?

No. Clique Wallet's architecture ensures that private keys are controlled and secured by the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). Even our own development and operations team cannot access user private keys. The TEE creates a hardware-enforced trust boundary that even the most privileged software cannot cross.
