  Custodial wallets are wallets where a third party, such as a cryptocurrency exchange or wallet provider, holds the private keys on behalf of the user. This means that the user does not have full control over their funds and must trust the custodian to keep their funds secure. Non-custodial wallets, on the other hand, give the user full control over their private keys, meaning they have complete ownership and responsibility for their funds. While custodial wallets may offer convenience and additional features, non-custodial wallets provide enhanced security and privacy.

  Custodial wallets are like having a bank account for your cryptocurrencies. You trust the bank to keep your funds safe and secure, but you don't have direct control over your money. Non-custodial wallets, on the other hand, are more like having cash in your pocket. You have full control over your funds, but you also bear the responsibility of keeping them safe. It's important to weigh the convenience of custodial wallets against the security and control offered by non-custodial wallets.
