# Private Keys Storage
This directory is used to store your private keys. The files in this directory are gitignored by default.
Each key is stored in a separate JSON file with the following format:
```json
{
"address": "0x...",
"privateKey": "0x...",
"encrypted": false,
"encryptedData": null
}
```
If encryption is enabled (ENCRYPT_KEYS=true in .env), the `privateKey` field will be empty and the `encrypted` field will be true. The encrypted key will be stored in the `encryptedData` field.
## Security Warning
Do NOT commit your private key files to a public repository!
