Self-custody gives you control but control comes with responsibility. You manage the keys, backups and recovery yourself. There’s no intermediary to rely on if something goes wrong. With a custodial platform, that responsibility shifts to a third party. You get convenience and easier access but you also take on the risk of trusting someone else with your assets. Neither approach is perfect. The right choice depends on how you balance control, accessibility and risk. That’s the trade-off worth understanding and one @ClappFinance makes easier to think about before deciding where your crypto should sit.
