Backup and keys

Recovery is materially different for standard seed wallets versus keyless/MPC-style options and must be evaluated per surface.

Security and privacy

Multi-chain self-custody with broad DApp and provider exposure; seed or private-key compromise remains decisive, while provider outages affect access and transaction discovery.

Privacy note
A dedicated current privacy-policy and provider-data-flow review is required; exchange-account separation must be preserved.
