Non-Custodial

Non-custodial refers to a type of wallet, exchange, or service where the user retains exclusive control over their private keys and, consequently, their digital assets. In a non-custodial environment, there is no third party that holds or has access to a user's funds; the user is solely responsible for managing their seed phrase or private keys, which are the cryptographic proof of ownership. This design embodies the core principle of self-sovereignty in the cryptocurrency space, often encapsulated by the adage, "not your keys, not your coins."
