MEXC and Hacken Release AI Trading Safety Handbook for Enhanced User Protection
Mutsamudu, Comoros, October 28, 2026 – MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, in collaboration with blockchain security partner Hacken, has unveiled the MEXC × Hacken AI Trading Safety Handbook. This resource provides practical guidance for users and platforms on deploying AI-assisted and automated trading tools safely, covering aspects from research and decision support to trade execution.
The handbook follows the MEXC AI Trading Report, which revealed a growing interest in AI alongside a demand for greater control. According to MEXC’s 2026 survey, the willingness to use automated trading increased from 55% to 71.8% when limits on funds, positions, leverage, and losses were implemented.
As AI becomes more integral to trading, the handbook emphasizes that safety should not solely depend on AI models. It advises that AI-facilitated actions must be verified against separate permissions, financial limits, and risk controls before execution. The handbook outlines various risks, including credential exposure, excessive permissions, manipulated data, and unintended execution.
For users, the handbook presents five safety checks: Ask, Verify, Limit, Control, and Review. For platforms, it details five principles: Guard, Limit, Approve, Controls, and Test. Together, these guidelines create a framework for expanding AI use while maintaining necessary controls.
“AI can make trading more accessible and efficient, but greater capability should come with stronger safeguards,” stated Vugar Usi Zade, CEO of MEXC. “Our People First principle means giving users access to new capabilities without losing sight of control, transparency, and risk.”
Dyma Budorin, CEO and co-founder of Hacken, added, “Trust in AI agents should be earned through independent controls and continuous testing. This handbook aims to raise awareness of risks and provide practical support for users and platforms.”
MEXC and Hacken hope that the handbook will serve as a valuable reference as AI becomes increasingly integrated into trading, fostering risk awareness and encouraging safer adoption across the industry.
