# Connect your wallet

> Connect a supported wallet to trade on Pocket. Pocket is non-custodial and never holds your private keys.

Pocket is non-custodial. You connect a wallet you control, and Pocket never holds your private keys.

<Note>
  Pocket does not store or manage your seed phrase. Your wallet provider remains the sole custodian of your keys.
