Self-custody means controlling your own credentials. Verify the actual implementation before relying on any wallet; a UI preview is not proof of custody.
Checking on-chain activity and broadcasting transactions require connectivity, but recording recovery credentials should be done offline.
Record the words in order offline, and avoid screenshots, chats, email, cloud documents and unfamiliar websites.
A private key enables signing for an address; a recovery phrase commonly restores a set of wallet keys. Both require careful protection.
