What You Should Know About Self-Custody (Non-Custodial) Exchanges
Self-custody exchanges allow you to trade assets directly from your own wallet, ensuring you maintain 100% control over your private keys at all times.
- Security: Since the exchange never holds your funds, the risk of losing assets due to an exchange hack or insolvency is virtually eliminated.
- Privacy: Many self-custody platforms are decentralized (DEXs) and do not require traditional KYC, offering a higher degree of anonymity.
- Responsibility: You are solely responsible for managing your seed phrase; if you lose access to your wallet, the exchange cannot recover your funds.
- Network Fees: Trading typically happens on-chain, meaning you will pay gas fees to the underlying network (like Ethereum or Arbitrum) for every transaction.
