Wallet decentralization refers to the degree to which control over a digital asset wallet and its associated private keys is distributed, rather than held by a single entity. A highly decentralized wallet typically grants the user full custody and control over their assets, minimizing reliance on third-party intermediaries. This concept contrasts with custodial wallets where a service provider retains control. It prioritizes individual autonomy and security.
Context
Wallet decentralization is a core principle in the cryptocurrency space, offering users greater autonomy and censorship resistance. Discussions frequently address the trade-offs between self-custody and the convenience of custodial services, especially concerning user experience and recovery options. Future developments focus on improving non-custodial wallet interfaces and multi-signature security features to enhance both usability and security. The push for self-custody remains a significant theme.
