About Zhenku
Zhenku is an independent, unofficial site with one job: to explain, in plain terms, how to lock down your Binance account and protect what is in it — two-factor authentication, the anti-phishing code, withdrawal address whitelists, API permissions, and what to do if your account is compromised. The name comes from the idea of a guardian beast watching over a treasury; but keeping your coins safe does not come down to a lucky charm — it comes down to you working through a handful of settings, one by one.
Who we are
Zhenku is run by a small editorial team, and we publish under pen names (such as "Cheng Mo"). To be clear: these are pen names. They do not stand for any licensed expert or institution, and we do not invent degrees, licences, trading records, or media endorsements to look more credible than we are. What we can offer is public rules and official documentation, reorganised into an order an ordinary user can actually follow — and, wherever we can, walked through ourselves first to check that it holds up.
Who we are not
- We are not Binance and not official. We have no affiliation or partnership with Binance. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.
- We do not give investment advice — no coin picks, no calls, no price predictions. Account security protects you from someone taking your coins; it does nothing about the market falling. Those are two different things.
- We do not manage your money and never touch your account, and we will never message you privately to ask for a password or a verification code.
How we make money (plainly put)
The self-contained sign-up guide on this site keeps one Binance referral sign-up link. If you choose to use it, we may earn a commission; that is one way we fund the site. Whether the code is accepted, any benefit and eligibility depend on what Binance shows before you submit registration. We promise no specific rate and disclose the relationship beside the link.
How we edit
- Binance is the source of truth. Binance's features, fees, and screen layouts change. We write about how things work and the trade-offs involved; for the exact numbers and where to find each setting, go by whatever Binance's own pages currently show.
- We do not make things up. No fabricated statistics, no invented case studies, no fake-precise "tested at 3:47pm" timestamps. If we describe an experience, we describe it as honestly and loosely as it really was.
- We are honest about risk. Good security settings push the odds of theft, and the losses if it happens, very low — but nothing is ever completely safe, and coins moved off-chain by a thief usually cannot be recovered. We say so plainly and do not oversell.
- We fix mistakes. If you spot an error, please tell us. We correct it and log the change on our corrections page.
How we check the facts
For anything involving specific settings and rules, we work from first-hand sources where we can — Binance's own Help Center, its security pages, and the like — and we list our references at the end of each article. If something we wrote no longer matches Binance's current page, go by the official page, and please take a moment to let us know.
