Every January 3rd, the crypto community rallies around a fundamental principle: true ownership means self-custody.
It's not just a slogan—it's the core belief that drives millions of participants to hold their digital assets directly on-chain. When you control your private keys, you're not relying on intermediaries or trusting third parties. The asset genuinely belongs to you.
This is what Proof of Keys Day celebrates. It's a reminder that self-management and direct ownership represent the real promise of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. Billions in value flow through on-chain infrastructure built on this principle every single day.
Happiness comes from knowing your crypto is actually yours. 🔑

Only by holding your private key can you sleep peacefully; otherwise, you always feel like the coins aren't truly yours.

According to on-chain data, the funds in self-custody wallets have increased by 62% over the past 18 months, but the risk warning is: most users' private key management capabilities are concerning.

With the private key in hand, I own the world. I'm already tired of the exchange scene.

Keeping your private keys secure is easier said than done; many people still leave them sleeping on exchanges.

Keep your own keys and manage them yourself—that's true freedom... Otherwise, what's the difference from traditional finance?

Holding the key in your hand, only then can your heart feel at ease.
