Basic Desktop Self-Custody Guide - Windows

Trusted Third Parties are Security Holes

- Nick Szabo

This basic desktop setup is a sturdier base than a phone wallet. You will create a single-signature Sparrow wallet, protected by a passphrase, and take possession of your own keys. It is a great everyday setup, and a solid foundation to grow into a hardware wallet or multisig as your stack grows.
