  A non-custodial exchange allows users to retain control of their funds throughout the trading process. Users' funds are not held by the exchange, reducing the risk of hacking or theft. In contrast, a traditional centralized exchange holds users' funds on their behalf, which can be convenient but also exposes users to potential security vulnerabilities.

  When using a non-custodial exchange, users typically connect their personal wallets directly to the exchange platform, enabling peer-to-peer transactions. This decentralized approach ensures that users have full control over their private keys and can execute trades without relying on a third party. On the other hand, centralized exchanges act as intermediaries, holding users' funds in their own wallets and facilitating trades on their behalf.
