Self-custody: Custodial vs Non-custodial wallets

In a custodial wallet, a provider holds your keys and may control access. In a non-custodial wallet like PRC, you hold your private keys and are responsible for security. Read our security overview.

Type	Custodial (Exchanges)	Non‑custodial (PRC)
Control	Company controls your keys	You control your keys
Security	Rely on their security	Your responsibility
Access	Can freeze/limit accounts	Always accessible

Key concepts: Seed phrases, private/public keys, addresses

A seed phrase generates your wallet and funds recovery. Private keys sign transactions; public keys derive addresses. Learn more in Backup & Recovery and Self‑Custody Safety.

PRC supports EVM chains and Vite today. See supported chains in Networks.
