Custodial vs. Non-Custodial NFTs: What’s the Difference? 🤔

If you’re into NFTs or just getting started, there’s one key thing to understand — who actually controls your NFTs?

Let’s break it down 👇

🧱 Custodial NFTs (like Binance NFT Marketplace)

These are NFTs held for you by a platform (like Binance).
You log in with an account, and the platform handles the private keys — kind of like a bank keeping your money safe.

✅ Pros:

Easy to use
You don’t worry about losing keys
Support is available if something goes wrong

⚠️ Cons:

You don’t fully control the asset
The platform holds your data (KYC required)
If they get hacked, your NFT is at risk

🔓 Non-Custodial NFTs (like using MetaMask or Trust Wallet)

Here, you control everything — the keys, the wallet, and the NFTs. You mint, buy, or sell NFTs directly from your wallet. It’s all on you.

✅ Pros:

Total control over your NFTs
No KYC or ID needed
More privacy, more freedom

⚠️ Cons:

Lose your keys = lose your NFTs
Can be confusing for beginners
No one to help if you make a mistake

🛍️ How You Use NFTs Matters

Buying NFTs? On custodial platforms, you need to deposit funds first. On non-custodial ones, your wallet connects directly.
Minting or Selling NFTs? Custodial = upload and sell on their platform. Non-custodial = mint from your wallet and sell peer-to-peer.

🎯 So…Which Should You Choose?

👉 If you want ease and safety, go with custodial (Binance NFT Marketplace is beginner-friendly).
👉 If you want freedom and control, explore non-custodial wallets and platforms.

There’s no wrong choice — it just depends on what matters more to you.
