  Non-custodial wallets, also known as self-custody wallets, give users full control over their private keys. This means that users are solely responsible for the security of their funds. On the other hand, custodial wallets hold the private keys on behalf of the users, providing convenience but also introducing a level of risk as the security of the funds relies on the custodian. Non-custodial wallets prioritize decentralization and security, while custodial wallets prioritize convenience and ease of use.

  When using a non-custodial wallet, you are the only one who has access to your private keys. This means that you have complete control over your funds and are not reliant on a third party to keep them safe. In contrast, custodial wallets store your private keys on their servers, which means that you are trusting the custodian to protect your funds. Non-custodial wallets offer a higher level of security and privacy, but they also require users to take responsibility for their own keys.
