What's emergency contact?
On our platform, the security of your assets is our top priority. The Emergency Contact feature allows you to designate a trusted individual whom we can reach out to in unforeseen circumstances. If we are unable to contact you after a defined period of inactivity, we will attempt to contact your emergency contact using the information you have provided.
