What is self custody trading?
Self custody trading means your funds and positions live in an account you control on a public blockchain, not in a company's internal ledger. On Dexari, your balances sit on Hyperliquid and remain under your control while you trade from your phone.
Custodial vs self custodial
On a custodial platform, you deposit funds into accounts the company controls, and your balance is an entry in their database. With self custody, your account exists on a public blockchain. The app is an interface to it, not the owner of it.
What it changes in practice
Your balances and positions are publicly verifiable onchain. Withdrawals do not require anyone's approval, and your assets are not exposed to a company's balance sheet.
What you are responsible for
Self custody shifts responsibility to you. Protect access to your account and your device. Losing access to your login method is the self custody equivalent of losing your keys.
