Self-Custody Wallet
What self-custody means on iCloser — private key control, transaction signing, and user responsibility in a non-custodial model
What self-custody means on iCloser
Self-custody means users control wallet credentials and private-key access for supported digital asset features. The wallet layer is not described as a deposit account, custodial account, or banking relationship.
Private Keys
Private keys and recovery materials are intended to remain under user control in supported self-custody contexts. Users should secure them carefully.
Transaction Signing
Transactions are authorized through the user-controlled wallet environment rather than by a centralized operator transferring wallet assets on the user's behalf.
User Responsibility
Because users control wallet credentials, safeguarding recovery materials and reviewing transaction details are essential parts of self-custody usage.
How self-custody differs from regulated services
Some services made accessible through the platform may involve regulated interfaces, licensed partners, additional verification, or jurisdiction-based limitations. Those services should not be confused with self-custody wallet control.
Key Self-Custody Principles
In the self-custody model, your private key or recovery phrase is the sole proof of wallet ownership. iCloser does not store or control these on your behalf.
Write your recovery phrase down and store it offline (paper, metal). Never save it digitally in screenshots, cloud notes, or chat apps.
No legitimate support agent will ever ask for your private key or recovery phrase. Anyone who does is attempting fraud.
Always check the destination address, network, amount, and gas fee before confirming any transaction in your self-custody wallet.
