Damand for self-custodial wallets and need for privacy
We saw a surge in the price of crypto hardware wallets with their peg token appreciating exponentially, this shows a lot of demand for personal hardware wallets which are the best means of storing crypto-based tokens while some might not have the luxury of buying a personal hardware wallet like trezor and ledger wallets there are other self-custodial wallets one can get their hands on which are very safe and hack-proof once the necessary steps of keeping your keys are strictly followed, there are multiple self-custodial wallets out there which can be installed on computers and smartphones to mention a few of these wallets are Trust wallet, SafePal, Matamask, and Electrum wallet.
Multi-sig wallets are another self-custodial wallet that gives one chance to store their private keys in two separate places in case of loss of access to one key, one can always be retrieved but the loss of all two keys means there's no reversal of funds without those private keys.
As important as self-custodial wallets are keeping the private keys of those wallets is very important there is little chance of getting your hands on your funds once your private keys are lost, for some users memorizing those keys are safe option while others prefer caving or writing down their recovery phrase keys seems more convenient.
