Your move reflects a growing mindset in 2026—prioritizing self-custody and minimizing reliance on centralized platforms. Using a solution on Arbitrum can indeed give you more control, especially if access to funds doesn’t depend on a single front-end. That said, anonymity and decentralization come with trade-offs, including smart contract risks and reduced user protections.
