Non-Custodial Wallet
A wallet where the user retains full control of their own private keys, with no third party able to access or freeze their funds. Non-custodial wallets include hardware wallets (Ledger, Trezor) and software wallets (MetaMask, Phantom). They provide sovereignty but require the user to safeguard their seed phrase.
