Non-custodial Wallet

A non-custodial wallet is a crypto wallet where the user owns the private keys and has full control over their funds. No third party can access, freeze, or recover the assets. Examples include MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, and Rabby. On 8lends, investors connect a non-custodial wallet to invest, while the platform never stores private keys. During an active investment, funds are held in an audited smart contract on Base.
