Want to master self-custody in just 90 seconds? Here's your quick breakdown.
Self-custody means you hold your own private keys—essentially, you are your own bank. No intermediaries, no exchange holding your assets, no counterparty risk. It's the foundation of true ownership in crypto.
Why it matters: When you leave funds on a centralized exchange, you're trusting them with your keys. With self-custody, that responsibility—and that control—sits entirely with you. This is what decentralization actually means.
Ready to take the challenge? Understanding self-custody is your first step toward financial sovereignty in Web3.

Sounds good in theory, but in reality, how many people can truly keep their private keys safe from loss or leakage?

Honestly, self-custody is indeed a mandatory course, but 90 seconds? Haha, that's really overestimating human attention span...

That's true, but you can't really learn it in 90 seconds... It takes so much loss to truly understand how to get started with self-custody.
