Quick Answer

Opinion’s current Terms describe its trading interface as connecting to a user’s self-hosted wallet and state that the company does not take possession or custody of the cryptoassets in that wallet. The Terms also say Opinion cannot access private keys or passwords and cannot reverse transactions initiated through a wallet. Separate product Docs show Web3-wallet connections and Google or X social-account connections. Because the public Docs do not fully describe the wallet architecture behind every social-login flow, users should verify the exact account and transaction prompts shown in the live app.

​
Key Takeaways

  • The current Terms describe connected crypto wallets as self-hosted.
  • Opinion states that it cannot access a user’s private key or wallet password.
  • Blockchain transactions may be irreversible, and Opinion says it cannot reverse wallet-initiated transactions.
  • The product also supports Google or X account connections, but the public account guide does not document every custody detail of that flow.
  • “Non-custodial” does not mean risk-free; phishing, wallet compromise, smart-contract and network risks remain.

​
What Opinion’s Terms Say About Custody

The current Terms of Use state that the company:
  • does not have access to or control over a connected self-hosted wallet;
  • does not take possession or custody of the cryptoassets in that wallet;
  • cannot access the wallet’s private key or password;
  • cannot reverse a transaction initiated through the wallet;
  • does not guarantee the operation, security or availability of a third-party blockchain network.
These statements describe responsibility for connected wallets. They do not mean every part of using the product is free of smart-contract, front-end or third-party risk.

​
Web3 Wallet and Social Account Are Different Entry Points

The current product documentation shows two account paths: The short social-account guide does not explain every underlying wallet, key-management or recovery detail. This Blog does not infer those details. Before funding an account, review the live product’s account, deposit, withdrawal and signing prompts and use official support if something is unclear.

​
What Users Remain Responsible For

Under the current Terms, the user is responsible for wallet configuration and for protecting private keys, passwords and account access. Practical checks include:
  • open only a verified Opinion domain;
  • never share a seed phrase, private key or password;
  • read the wallet message before signing;
  • confirm the asset, network, amount and destination address;
  • start with a small test transaction when using a new route;
  • keep enough native network token for user-paid gas actions;
  • treat urgent direct messages and “support” accounts as unverified until confirmed through official channels.
Use the Official Opinion.trade Links directory before connecting an account or wallet.

​
Which Costs Can Affect Funds?

Fund safety and trading cost are separate, but both affect the final balance. Current Docs say Opinion covers on-chain gas for trade matching and settlement, while some lower-frequency actions require user-paid gas. Trading fees, spread, price impact and network or funding-provider charges may also apply. Read Opinion Fees Explained before placing an order.

​
What “Fund Safety” Does Not Mean

No custody description guarantees that funds cannot be lost. Risks include:
  • losing access to a wallet or account;
  • approving a malicious signature or transaction;
  • sending an asset on the wrong network;
  • smart-contract or front-end vulnerabilities;
  • third-party wallet or network failure;
  • an irreversible transaction;
  • trading loss, thin liquidity or resolution risk.
Published audits can help evaluate defined smart-contract scopes, but they do not cover every user, wallet or transaction. See Opinion Security and Audits.

What to Verify Before Moving Funds

  1. The URL is an official Opinion domain.
  2. Your connection method is the one you intended to use.
  3. You understand who controls recovery credentials for that connection method.
  4. The asset and network shown in the live app are correct.
  5. The deposit, trade or withdrawal preview matches the intended amount.
  6. You can explain the transaction or signature request before approving it.
