Can I trust Tealstreet?

Before using Tealstreet be sure to read through the terms of service. Sam has worked very hard on the security side of Tealstreet. Security was the first aspect developed for the terminal and the number one priority. The security side is hosted by AWS. User information like API keys are encrypted before they get put in the database. AWS manages master’s keys. If someone were to hack Tealstreet they would not be able to get your master API key. However, nothing is 100%. Sam believes his security is just as good if not better than other crypto services.

Be sure to read through the API guides! Read more here.
