Getting Started with Non-Custodial Wallets
Why self-custody matters and how to think about wallet security before you buy your first coin.
A non-custodial wallet means you hold the keys. No exchange, no company, no third party can move your funds without your permission. That freedom comes with responsibility.
Key ideas
- Your seed phrase is your backup. Write it down offline. Never share it with anyone.
- Start small. Practice sending tiny amounts before moving anything significant.
- Verify addresses. Always double-check recipient addresses before confirming a transaction.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Storing your seed phrase in a cloud note or screenshot
- Trusting DMs from “support” asking for your keys
- Moving large amounts before you’ve tested the wallet
