Definition ∞ Non-Custodial Bridging is a method for transferring assets between different blockchain networks without requiring users to relinquish control of their funds to a third party. Users retain direct ownership of their assets throughout the entire transfer process. This approach minimizes counterparty risk and enhances security by removing the need for trust in an intermediary. It aligns with the decentralized principles of blockchain.
Context ∞ Non-custodial bridging solutions are vital for enhancing liquidity and user experience across disparate blockchain ecosystems, reducing reliance on centralized intermediaries. The security and efficiency of these bridges are paramount, especially following incidents involving custodial bridge exploits. Continued innovation in trust-minimized designs remains a priority for secure and efficient cross-chain asset movement.
