Non-Custodial Wallets

A non-custodial wallet is a cryptocurrency wallet where only the owner holds the private keys. No third party — not even the wallet provider — can access, freeze, or control the funds. Examples include MetaMask, Phantom, and hardware wallets like Ledger.

Why This Matters for Merchants

For merchants using Zateway, non-custodial means your funds are always in your control. Payments go directly from the customer wallet to your wallet via smart contract. Zateway never has access to your private keys or funds — eliminating counterparty risk entirely.
