What Is a Self-Custody Wallet? (And Why It Matters)

You may have heard "not your keys, not your coins." A self-custody wallet means you control the private keys to your crypto — not an exchange, not a company. Oremi is fully self-custodial, yet as simple to use as chatting.

Why self-custody?

How Oremi makes it easy

Oremi generates your wallet from a standard recovery phrase the first time you sign up, encrypts it with your PIN, and lets you send, swap, gift and cash out using plain language. You can also import an existing wallet with your recovery phrase, or back up via Google for easy recovery.

All the power of self-custody — none of the usual complexity.
