Is the wallet custodial or non-custodial, and why is that important?

Modified on Thu, 6 Mar at 8:24 AM



The Shipfinex wallet is non-custodial, meaning that you are solely responsible for managing your private keys and wallet security. This has several important implications:

  • Complete Control: You have full control over your funds, without reliance on a central authority.
  • Security Responsibility: If you lose your private keys or forget your security answers, Shipfinex cannot help you recover your wallet.
  • Enhanced Privacy: Non-custodial wallets provide greater privacy since only you have access to your keys.

    Advice: Always securely store your private keys and security question answers offline. Treat them with the same care as you would physical cash or important documents.
