Self-Custody Sovereignty
Self-custody sovereignty is the principle that an individual should maintain total control over their private keys, thereby removing reliance on any third party for the security of their assets. By managing their own wallets, users eliminate custodial risk and the possibility of a platform freezing their funds.
This approach places the full responsibility for security and recovery on the user, requiring a high level of technical literacy. While it provides the ultimate protection against exchange failure, it also means that there is no customer support to help if a password is forgotten or a mistake is made.
It is the realization of the decentralized ethos of digital finance.
