Non-Custodial Solution

Definition ∞ A Non-Custodial Solution is a service or protocol within the digital asset space where users maintain complete control and ownership of their private cryptographic keys and, consequently, their associated funds. In contrast to custodial services, no third party ever holds, accesses, or manages user assets. This design prioritizes individual sovereignty and security over digital property.
Context ∞ The demand for non-custodial solutions continues to expand as users increasingly prioritize security and autonomy within the decentralized financial landscape. News frequently highlights the importance of these solutions in mitigating counterparty risk and reducing reliance on centralized entities, particularly in light of past security incidents involving custodial platforms.
