Regarding the risk of wallet theft, industry experts have summarized four common security vulnerabilities to watch out for. First is the architectural flaw of certain DEX Bot products—storing users' private keys centrally on servers, which is no different from the risk level of centralized exchanges. If the server encounters issues, user assets are directly exposed. Second are the code vulnerabilities of self-custody wallets themselves or internal malicious actions by development teams. These risks are relatively covert but cause the most damage. Additionally, if your computer or phone is hacked, or if you accidentally leak your seed phrase, this is a high-frequency risk on the user side. The last, and somewhat overlooked, category is that some automated trading strategies create a structural dependency on private key custody, which seems convenient but actually harbors long-term hidden dangers. Ultimately, asset security must be maintained through proper private key management and endpoint protection.

Got it, it's the same old story again... But to be honest, that DEX Bot stuff is really terrifying. Storing private keys on the server is just like having no encryption at all.

Honestly, the DEX Bot setup is just a rehash; the private keys are still in their hands, so I really don't dare to use it.

Damn, does the DEX Bot really dare to operate like that? Storing private keys on a server is almost the same as just using an exchange directly.
Wait... automated trading still requires hosting private keys? Isn't that just asking to get trapped?
I’ve never dared to store mnemonic phrases in my phone’s notes; I write them down on paper and lock them in a safe.
Code vulnerabilities are truly hard to defend against... even insider threats within the development team can't be fully prevented.
Honestly, don’t be greedy for that little convenience—cold wallets are the real way to go, right?

Really, that DEX Bot setup is a suicidal architecture. Luckily, I haven't touched it...

Storing private keys in a DEX Bot's centralized repository is just hilarious. Isn't this just centralized with a different disguise? What's the point?

It's the same old story, but it really is a bloody lesson... Those DEX Bots are truly outrageous, and centralized private key storage is no different from self-deception.
I was so scared that I quickly checked my mnemonic phrase, and now I don't dare store anything on my computer anymore.
The most heartbreaking thing is that "structural dependence," which seems cool but is actually a hidden bomb, has caused too many people to fall into this trap.
To put it simply, you still have to be hardcore yourself; no one else can be relied upon.

To be honest, the DEX Bot setup is a suicidal design... Putting private keys on the server and still boasting about decentralization.
Wake up, everyone who casually leaves mnemonic phrases on the desktop—if you're robbed, don't blame the chain.
I've fallen into the trap of automated trading; feeling good for two days, bankrupt in a second.
Cold wallets are truly the only way out.
Code vulnerabilities and insider threats are unavoidable pitfalls that no one can escape.
These four risks combined can drain your entire fortune.
Having the private key in your own hands is the only way to sleep soundly; everything else is nonsense.

Watching people lose coins because of those so-called "convenient" dex bots, I really can't help but laugh... It's more reassuring to keep your private keys yourself.
