Custodial vs non-custodial wallets: who holds your keys
The difference between wallets you control and wallets an exchange controls, and why it matters.
Key points
- Non-custodial means only you can move funds.
- Custodial means a company holds them.
- Back up your recovery method.

Custodial
An exchange holds your coins for you. It is easy, but if the company freezes withdrawals or gets hacked, your funds are at risk.
Non-custodial
You control the wallet. No company can move or freeze your coins, but you are responsible for keeping access safe.
