Non-Custodial Risk Management

Definition

Non-custodial risk management refers to strategies and systems designed to mitigate potential losses or security threats in decentralized financial environments where users retain direct control over their digital assets. This approach minimizes counterparty risk by eliminating the need for a third party to hold funds, instead relying on smart contracts and cryptographic security. It places the responsibility for private key security directly with the individual. Effective non-custodial risk management is paramount for user safety in DeFi.
