A non-custodial wallet, often referred to as a self-custody or self-controlled wallet, is a type of cryptocurrency wallet that provides users with full control over their private keys (referred also as ‘Seed Words’, or ‘Seed Phrase’) and digital assets. In a non-custodial wallet, you generate and store your private keys locally, making it highly secure but also requiring careful management and backup. Users are responsible for protecting their private keys and ensuring they don’t lose access to them. Non-custodial wallets are preferred by individuals who prioritize security and control over the convenience offered by custodial wallets.
