  Custodial wallets are wallets where a third party, such as an exchange, holds the private keys on behalf of the user. This means that the user does not have full control over their funds and relies on the custodian to secure and manage their wallet. Non-custodial wallets, on the other hand, give users complete control over their private keys and funds. Users are responsible for the security and management of their own wallets, which provides them with greater autonomy and security.

  When it comes to custodial wallets, users often have the convenience of easily accessing their funds through the exchange platform. However, this convenience comes at the cost of trusting the custodian with the security of their funds. Non-custodial wallets, while requiring users to take more responsibility for their own security, offer a higher level of privacy and control. With a non-custodial wallet, users can be confident that their funds are not at risk of being accessed or controlled by a third party.
