Digital asset custody sits at the core of modern blockchain infrastructure, quietly safeguarding the keys that control value in a trust-minimized world. Unlike traditional finance, where institutions hold assets on behalf of users, blockchain custody revolves around cryptographic ownership—where access is defined not by identity, but by possession of private keys. This shift introduces both unprecedented autonomy and new layers of responsibility, reshaping how individuals and institutions secure, transfer, and manage digital wealth. On Blockchain Streets, this section explores the systems, safeguards, and strategies that define digital asset custody today. From cold storage architectures and multi-signature frameworks to institutional-grade custody solutions and emerging decentralized approaches, each article breaks down how custody actually works beneath the surface. By the end, you’ll understand not just where digital assets are stored, but how control is established, protected, and recovered in a system designed to operate without intermediaries—yet still demand precision, discipline, and trust in code.
