Related concepts
The vocabulary this page depends on.
- →Web3 Wallet
A Web3 wallet stores your keys and signs transactions, letting you hold assets and connect to on-chain applications without an intermediary.
- →Crypto Risk Management
Risk management in crypto is position sizing plus custody hygiene: deciding what you can lose per trade and what a single compromise can reach.
- →Private Key
A private key is the secret number that authorises transactions from an address; the public address is derived from it, never the reverse.
- →Self-Custody
Self-custody means you control the private keys to your assets, so no company can freeze, lend out or lose them on your behalf.

Comparisons & alternatives
Pick between the options.
- →Manual Trading vs Automated Trading

Centralised exchanges optimise for liquidity, fiat access and convenience; DEXs optimise for custody, permissionless listing and on-chain transparency.
