What is "Self Custody"?

Self-custody is the principle Zypto is built around: you hold your own keys, no one can freeze your wallet, and no third party stands between you and your crypto. Posts here cover what self-custody actually requires (a seed phrase you can recover, a wallet you trust, signing hygiene you can keep up), how it differs from custodial exchange accounts, and how the Zypto multi-chain wallet plus the Vault Key Card give users a workable self-custody setup that doesn't require a computer science degree.

Most posts on self custody live in our Wallet Guides category, so if you want to keep reading, that's the natural next click. The Zypto blog publishes new pieces every week, and the full archive is searchable from the icon at the top.
