A custodial NEAR wallet is managed by a third party, such as an exchange or crypto platform like Ka.app, which holds and secures your private keys. This means you trust the provider to safeguard your funds, making it easier to recover your account if you forget your password.
In contrast, a non-custodial NEAR wallet gives full control of your private keys directly to you. This means only you have access to your funds, enhancing security but also increasing responsibility. If you lose your seed phrase or private keys, you cannot recover your wallet, and no third party can help you regain access.
If you’re using a non-custodial NEAR wallet and you lose your seed phrase, you can also lose access to your wallet permanently. There is no way to recover your funds since any other platform cannot retrieve or reset your seed phrase.
