Self-custody vs shared keys
Self-custody means you hold your own private keys: the bot or contract runs with a key only you control, and the developer never sees it. The alternative, a temporarily shared key, should only ever be used for setup or testing, then wiped.
Why it matters
Why it matters
Your keys are your funds. A developer who wants to hold your private key indefinitely is a risk you don’t need to take.
Self-custody is the safest default; a shared key, if used at all, must be temporary and tightly scoped.
How GetYourDev does it
How GetYourDev uses & builds it
GetYourDev defaults to self-custody, you deploy and run with your own key, and bots run on a dedicated wallet you fund and control. A temporary key is used only if you ask, only for setup or testing, and wiped afterward. The full policy is on the How I Work page.
