 Is #eNuts a custodial or a non-custodial wallet?

Well, it stands as both and neither.

In simple words, it is a client that acts as a bridge to any mint and manages #ecash tokens issued by mints in a local database in your device.

It is simply a bearer token manager. Nothing else.

The transition into a custodial wallet might happen once we introduce our own default mint but even this remains optional and therefore subject to discussion for the term custodial wallet.

To simplify the experience for newcomers, we will continue providing a default mint for now.

However, users have the flexibility to host their own independent non-custodial mints, connect it to the wallet and transform the app into a "non-custodial wallet". They can send and receive Ecash from various mints and swap between mints anytime as desired.

In essence, #eNuts users don't have to place trust in the wallet; instead, they can place trust in each other.
