Self-custody

Self-custody is a description of an authorization arrangement, not a promise that every part of using crypto becomes simple. You need to understand the keys or other controls involved, the recovery process, and the way the wallet prepares requests for approval. These guides explain self-custody alongside custodial alternatives, so you can compare responsibilities instead of treating a label as a complete decision. Start with the basics, then consider your device setup, supported networks, and the time you can devote to maintaining a secure routine. Keep questions about key control separate from questions about the assets, protocols, and services you choose to use.
