How to top up BNB Chain wallet
Most investors started their crypto journey through either DeFi crypto or centralized exchanges, so if you are not up to speed using non-custodial wallets, here’s a quick breakdown of how they work.
Non-custodial wallets give you complete ownership of your DeFi crypto or assets and your private keys. Remember though, If you choose to use a non-custodial wallet, you are solely responsible for protecting your private keys.
