  local signature="$2"
  
  local expected=$(echo -n "$payload" | openssl dgst -sha256 -hmac "$MOONPAY_SECRET_KEY" -binary | base64)
  
  [[ "$signature" == "$expected" ]]
}

Safety Rules

1. ALWAYS sign widget URLs in production
2. NEVER expose secret key client-side
3. VERIFY webhook signatures
4. CHECK transaction status before fulfilling
