Custody

What crypto means by it

Who is actually holding an asset on your behalf. It is the one question that decides what happens to your money if a company freezes, fails or is hacked.

What you already know this as

The same word carrying the same stakes. A custodian bank holds securities for clients without owning them, and that distinction only matters on a bad day.

In Kite: Kite is non-custodial. We do not hold your keys, and you can export them whenever you want.
