When choosing Ontology storage, pay attention to how secure a wallet you are going for is. Generally, we advise turning to non-custodial Ontology crypto wallets. Using custody-free cryptocurrency storages allows users to gain full control over their private keys and wallet backups. Besides, anyone going with a non-custodial wallet does not have to share their personal data with any third-parties.
