Self-custody requires secure private-key and recovery-phrase handling. Centralized platforms can involve operational, custody, and counterparty risk. Availability and regulatory treatment can vary by jurisdiction. Transaction finality and reversibility can differ by network.
Transfer and custody notes
Verify the asset name, network, and any supplied contract details before transferring. Verify destination address and network before sending assets.
