Self-Custody

Key Ownership

Definition

Key Ownership is an important aspect of modern crypto wallet technology. Understanding who controls cryptographic keys and why ownership structure determines true asset control.

Why It Matters

Self-custody means you control your own private keys - and therefore your own assets. The collapse of centralized exchanges and custodians has proven that 'not your keys, not your coins' is not just a slogan but a critical security principle.

JIL Wallet implements key ownership through MPC key sharding. Understanding who controls cryptographic keys and why ownership structure determines true asset control. Users hold one of three key shards, giving them independent signing authority. No single party - not even JIL - can move assets without user participation.
