## Security

**⚠️ WARNING**: This CLI tool stores private keys locally with encryption. While the keys are encrypted, this is NOT suitable for production use with real funds.

For production use:
- Use hardware wallets
- Implement proper key management systems
- Never store private keys on disk

The current implementation uses a default encryption key. For better security, consider:
1. User-provided passwords for encryption
2. Hardware security modules
3. Secure key vaults
