A self-custody wallet, also known as a non-custodial wallet, is a type of cryptocurrency wallet where the user retains complete control over their private keys, seed phrases, and other cryptographic credentials. This means that only the user has access to their digital assets, and no third party, including the wallet provider, can access or control their funds. Key characteristics of self-custody wallets: • User Control: You generate and store your private keys directly on your device. These keys never leave your device and are not accessible to the wallet's servers or any third parties. • Responsibility: With full control comes full responsibility. If you lose your private keys or seed phrase, or if they are compromised, your funds may be permanently lost. • Security Features: Many self-custody wallets include features like clear signing (presenting transaction details in a human-readable format), passkey integration, and built-in phishing protection to enhance security. • Examples: Wallets like Console Wallet and Phantom Wallet are examples of self-custody solutions, allowing users to manage their assets and interact with decentralized applications (dApps) while maintaining full control over their funds. In essence, a self-custody wallet empowers you to be your own bank, giving you direct ownership and management of your digital assets. 📚 Sources & Additional Information • ADK-TS Hackathon 2025 wiki • ADK-TS Hackathon 2025 Winners • Cryptocurrency wallet's wiki • Console Wallet's wiki • Console Wallet's Website • Learn more about IQ 🧠 Powered by AIDEN
