# Non-Custodial Approach

Armour Wallet's non-custodial approach is a key feature that sets it apart from other crypto wallets. The wallet's non-custodial approach means that users have complete control over their private keys and funds, ensuring increased security and ownership of their cryptocurrencies compared to custodial wallets.

&#x20;In a custodial wallet, the private keys and funds are managed by a third-party service, which means that the user does not have complete control over their assets. This can result in potential security risks, such as hacks, fraud, or insolvency of the service provider. In contrast,Armour Wallet's non-custodial approach gives users full control over their private keys and funds, which eliminates the need for a third-party service to manage their assets.

&#x20;By using Armour Wallet's non-custodial approach, users are the only ones who have access to their private keys and funds, which means that their assets are more secure. Since the private keys are only stored on the user's device, the risk of unauthorized access to the funds is significantly reduced. Additionally, users can be assured that their funds are not at risk due to the failure of a third-party service provider.&#x20;

Another benefit of Armour Wallet's non-custodial approach is that it ensures increased ownership of the user's cryptocurrencies. With a custodial wallet, the service provider has control over the user's funds, which means that the user does not have full ownership of their cryptocurrencies. However, with Armour Wallet's non-custodial approach, the user has complete ownership and control over their funds, which provides them with a greater sense of autonomy and freedom.

In summary, Armour Wallet's non-custodial approach offers users increased security and ownership of their cryptocurrencies compared to custodial wallets. By giving users full control over their private keys and funds, Armour Wallet ensures that users have complete autonomy and freedom when managing their digital assets.
