True asset ownership should be in your own hands. Users can retain full control while not sacrificing convenience — this is the core value of self-custody wallets. Unlike traditional centralized exchanges, your funds are always under your control, while still being able to trade, spend, and participate in revenue mechanisms within the ecosystem. This design allows users to enjoy the security of decentralization while experiencing the liquidity and efficiency that DeFi should offer.

Basically, it's about controlling your own private keys and not getting chopped by the exchange.

Back then, I stored my coins on an exchange, and when I woke up, my account was frozen. That day, I finally understood what it means to suffer a huge loss... Self-custody is a hard-earned lesson learned through blood, sweat, and tears, everyone.

Self-custody wallets have been popular for a long time, but the key is still to keep your private keys safe.

Really, keeping your private keys yourself is the way to go. I understood that when the exchange ran away.

Having control of your private keys is true freedom; the centralized exchange model should have been phased out long ago.

Well said, but the real issue is that most people can't even manage their private keys properly. Don't end up losing money and blaming the exchange later.
