# Security and Custody Concerns

* **Asset Custody Risk** – Users must trust third-party platforms with their funds and private keys.
* **Data Privacy Issues** – Centralized systems are more vulnerable to breaches and data leaks.
* **Lack of Transparency** – Without blockchain-backed verification, users cannot audit their transactions or platform behavior.
