# Security in HyperMall

Security is built into every layer of the HyperMall experience — not as an afterthought, but as a

core design principle. Rather than forcing users into a browser-based model, HyperMall starts

with a native desktop application that runs locally on your PC. This approach minimizes attack

surfaces, avoids the risks of browser extensions and third-party injection, and gives users a

tightly controlled environment for managing assets.

The wallet is fully integrated into the app itself. That means no need to connect external wallets,

no pop-ups, and no web-based interactions that could be spoofed or hijacked. Signing happens

locally, and your keys never leave your device.

On the backend, HyperMall uses the Trac Network — a headless (blockchain-less),

stream-based crypto system. There are no blocks to wait for and no centralized intermediaries.

Transactions are fast, deterministic, and less vulnerable to manipulation.

In the future, we plan to support server-mode deployments. That will allow HyperMall nodes to

provide a browser-accessible interface, opening the door to lighter setups and traditional

Web3-style usage. But even then, all security-critical operations will still rely on the same

verifiable, hardened core — giving users a choice between maximum local control and

browser-based convenience.
