Hold the keys you actually control. Sovern keeps your assets in your hands, with the recovery and signing tools that make that genuinely safe, not stressful.
Three things make self-custody feel calm instead of risky: the keys stay yours, recovery never depends on a seed phrase under a mattress, and every signature is verified on hardware.
Private keys are generated and stored on your device, encrypted at rest. Sovern never sees them, so no one can freeze, seize, or lose your funds for you.
Pick people you trust as guardians. Any two of three can help you restore access if a device is lost, with no seed phrase to write down or leak.
Approve every transaction on a hardware device over USB or NFC. The signing key stays in the secure element, so a compromised phone still can't move funds.
Self-custody is only calm when the numbers hold up. These are the ones we track and publish.
