A Self-Hosted Wallet (also known as a non-custodial wallet) is a cryptocurrency wallet where the user fully controls the private keys, ensuring direct ownership and responsibility over their digital assets. Unlike custodial wallets managed by exchanges or third-party providers, self-hosted wallets grant users full autonomy, enhancing privacy and security.
Ospree’s Approach to Managing Self-Hosted Wallets
Ospree provides a structured and efficient process for managing self-hosted wallets, improving traceability, security, and operational efficiency while maintaining a seamless user experience:
1
User-Submitted Wallet Addresses
Customers provide their self-hosted wallet addresses for registration.
2
Wallet Labeling
Once verified, the wallet is tagged as “self-hosted” within the system, ensuring it is easily identifiable for future monitoring and reporting.
3
Risk Screening
Before being fully linked, each wallet undergoes a risk assessment to check for prior indicators of illicit activities, such as connections to sanctioned entities or suspicious transactions.
4
Identity Linkage
Verified self-hosted wallets are securely associated with the user’s profile, enabling full traceability of transactions while maintaining transparency for compliance purposes.
5
Recognition
Once a wallet is registered as self-hosted, future deposits and withdrawals can be identified and tracked.
