Custody

The "Custody" tag is primarily used for infographics and charts illustrating how digital assets, particularly Bitcoin, are stored and managed. These visuals often compare different custody models, from self-custody and third-party custodians to full-reserve banking, and discuss their associated risks and benefits. They are particularly useful for understanding security mechanisms, transparency initiatives like Proof of Reserves, and the evolution of financial custody in the blockchain space.
