Self-Custody

Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins

Definition

Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins is an important aspect of modern crypto wallet technology. The principle that only controlling your private keys guarantees ownership of your digital assets.

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.
