A type of digital asset management where the user retains full control and ownership of their private keys.
Non-custodial refers to a system where the user, not a third party, has complete control over their private keys and therefore their digital assets. This means that while services might facilitate transactions or management, the ultimate authority and responsibility for securing the assets lie solely with the individual. This contrasts with custodial services, where a third party holds and manages the private keys on behalf of the user.
