Crypto Self Custody
We believe self custody crypto exchanges are the most secure way to trade crypto. We are working to make it better and easier.
What is self custody?
Self custody is where an individual has complete access to, and control over their digital assets, through having full control of the private keys to their crypto wallet. This means you do not use a third party, and manage your wallet personally. Plainly put, you are the only person who has access to your crypto.
It may be surprising to hear, but many secure financial institutions are not self custodial. These institutions act as intermediaries, which have access and control over the user’s cryptocurrency as it is held on their platform.
Why is crypto self custody important?
Crypto self custody and true ownership are important for investors in order to keep their assets secure. When you entrust a third-party with your funds, you have little knowledge and control over how your crypto is being managed.
When you keep your crypto in your own self-custodial crypto wallet, as opposed to one built into an exchange, you are ensuring that you have full control and access to your crypto at all times. As the saying goes, not your keys, not your crypto!
What is a self-custodial wallet?
We all know physical wallets that hold cash and cards, as well as electronic wallets like Apple, Google, or Paypal wallets.
Likewise, a self-custodial wallet can be both physical and digital. The main point of difference is that only the owner of the wallet, who has the private keys can access it.
Every self-custodial wallet has two “keys”, a public and a private key that allow you to access your assets. These keys are not physical keys but strings of numbers.

What is a self custody crypto exchange?
A self custody crypto exchange like Elbaite gives users complete custody, control, and access to their crypto at all times.
When trading with Elbaite, the crypto is sent straight from the seller’s self-custodial crypto wallet to the buyer’s. The exchange does not hold the crypto at any point in the transaction process, making crypto trading, faster, cheaper, and more secure.
Centralised crypto exchanges currently dominate the crypto market. They are less secure as they hold their users' assets in centralised wallets. This means that in the event of an exchange hack, insolvency, or mismanagement, investors' funds can be lost and are unable to be recovered.
Taking your crypto off the exchange
Crypto self custody is actually not as hard as it is made out to be.
Simply follow these 3 steps:
1
Create a self-custodial wallet of your choice.
2
Add your new wallet address to your exchange account.
3
Withdraw your crypto to your self-custodial wallet.

Elbaite’s solution to encourage crypto self custody
Elbaite’s self custody trading model is the solution to crypto exchange hacks and poorly run exchanges. It aligns with the original purpose of Bitcoin and crypto - a secure ecosystem that supports the peer to peer network, as written in Satoshi’s Bitcoin whitepaper.
Elbaite does not hold your cryptocurrency
Elbaite’s unique wallet to wallet trading model allows you to have self custody of your crypto, meaning your crypto is safely with you at all times!
We believe that crypto is best stored in your own self-custodial wallet. This is our philosophy and how we protect our users.
Self custody crypto exchanges are the future, and we are working to make it better and easier.
The Public Key
Your public key allows your account to be identified on the blockchain. They can be thought of like your bsb/account number. It is what you send when you want crypto transferred to your account.
The Private Key
Your private key can be thought of like your bank account password. If somebody else has your private keys, they can access your digital wallet and its assets.
You should never share your private keys with anyone under any circumstances. Remember, “not your keys not your crypto”!
