Custodial: they hold, they control

Exchanges and custodial apps hold keys on your behalf. Fast trading, but counterparty risk when they freeze accounts or get hacked.

Non-custodial: you hold, you control

Metrust never receives your seed phrase. Transactions sign locally on your device. Lose your phrase and we cannot recover funds — that's the tradeoff for sovereignty.

Regulatory tailwinds

Self-custody aligns with DeFi ethos and reduces reliance on intermediaries. Pair a non-custodial wallet with personal opsec for the full stack.
