About Self-Custody
How we structure key ownership, backups, and operational safety so you stay sovereign across Bitcoin and DeFi.
Principles
A simple self-custody playbook
Four pillars cover the lifecycle: holding keys, segmenting risk, backing up, and operating under pressure.
Own your keys
No custodians. You hold the signing material, always.
Segment risk
Use separate wallets for vaults, trading, and cold storage.
Recover safely
Backups and procedures that you test, not just write down.
Operate clearly
Document who does what and when for stress scenarios.
Why it matters
Benefits of doing it right
Self-custody is powerful only when it is disciplined. These are the outcomes we anchor on.
No counterparty risk
Assets aren’t parked with an exchange or custodian.
Full ownership
Private keys stay with you; no rehypothecation or freezes.
Security by design
Redundancy, separation of duties, and rehearsed recovery.
Flexible control
Choose hardware, smart, or paper flows to fit your risk.
