ClearBox is non-custodial: it never holds users’ private keys and never pools client funds. Wallets are smart-contract wallets provisioned through Crossmint, and ClearBox operates on them through a delegation model rather than by taking possession of the assets.

​
What non-custodial means here

  • Keys stay with the wallet infrastructure. Crossmint’s modular signer infrastructure manages keys; ClearBox does not store or reconstruct a user’s private key.
  • No commingled treasury. ClearBox does not pool user funds into a single custodial account. Settlement happens against each user’s own wallet.
  • Delegation, not possession. Users authorize ClearBox to initiate settlement actions on their behalf within strict, compliant limits, rather than handing over custody.

​
Why it matters for compliance

The non-custodial model, combined with ClearBox’s licensing (MTL/VASP/DLT depending on deployment) and hard-coded transaction limits, is what lets ClearBox facilitate exchanges and settlement compliantly. See ClearCheck KYC/AML.
The legal and regulatory treatment of custody varies by jurisdiction. This page describes the technical model, not legal advice.
