Non-Custodial Access

Definition

Non-custodial access refers to a system where individuals retain complete control over their digital assets, rather than entrusting them to a third-party custodian. Users manage their private keys directly, enabling self-sovereignty over their cryptocurrency holdings. This approach minimizes counterparty risk and enhances security by removing the need to rely on external entities for asset safekeeping. It is a core principle of many decentralized finance applications.
