self-custody.
Keep your pq keys where only you can reach them.
A key you don't hold is a key someone else can lose. Lattice keys are self-custody by default — generated locally, never held by the network.

the network never holds it
Lattice issues and verifies — it never stores your private key. The key exists on your hardware and nowhere else, so even the operator can't recover it.
