What you should know
Custody is the only question in crypto with a binary answer: either you hold the key that moves the asset, or somebody else does. Everything else — the interface, the brand, the support channel — is decoration on top of that single fact.
This hub covers what a key is, where it can live, how a connection to a site works, and which mistakes are permanent. FBT Swap is non-custodial: it never takes a deposit, never stores a recovery phrase and never signs for you, which also means it can never reverse a transaction you signed.
A wallet does not hold your coins. It holds a key that proves the coins on-chain are yours, and every property people find surprising about crypto follows from that one fact. There is no password reset because there is no account. There is no support line that can restore access because nobody else ever had the key.
That is also why the threat model is unusual. The realistic risk is not someone breaking cryptography; it is you being persuaded to sign something, or losing the only copy of a phrase that cannot be reissued.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers before you decide.
Can anyone restore my wallet if I lose the phrase?
No. The relationship between phrase and addresses is purely mathematical, and no company holds a copy. Anyone offering to recover it is running a scam.
Does a hardware wallet make me safe?
It protects the key from a compromised computer, which is a real and worthwhile protection. It does not stop you from approving a malicious transaction yourself.
Risk notice
Crypto assets are volatile and on-chain transactions cannot be reversed. You can lose money, including all of it. Nothing here is financial advice.
