The short answer
Non-custodial means the user retains control of the wallet and private keys rather than depositing funds into an account controlled by the service. The interface helps coordinate transactions but does not take ownership of the user's wallet.
How it works
In a non-custodial route, the wallet normally signs blockchain transactions directly. The service can present quotes and transaction data, but the user decides whether to approve each action.
Why it matters
Non-custodial does not mean risk-free. Smart contracts, bridge providers, networks, liquidity and user mistakes can still create risk.
Practical takeaway
Before signing, verify the route and wallet prompt. OneSwap is designed as a non-custodial interface, so users should maintain normal wallet security practices at every step.
