Use when choosing between custodial exchange execution, off-exchange settlement and non-custodial on-chain execution, disqualifying architectures that breach the mandate's key-control and counterparty-exposure constraints.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
## When to Use Use this skill when designing institutional crypto trading infrastructure, fund treasury management, or choosing between centralized exchanges (CEX), off-exchange settlement networks (Fireblocks Off-Exchange, Copper ClearLoop), and non-custodial on-chain execution. Custodial venues offer the lowest execution latency and deepest liquidity but place the traded balance inside the venue's balance sheet. Non-custodial execution gives sole key control but is bounded by block inclusion, priced in volatile gas, and exposed to MEV and contract risk. Off-exchange settlement sits between them, and the point of this assessment is to make that middle position explicit rather than assumed. The module runs **hard constraints first**. A key-sovereignty mandate, a counterparty-exposure budget, a latency floor and a qualified-custodian requirement are pass/fail — they disqualify architectures outright. Only survivors are ranked. ## When NOT to Use …

How to install
mdr add himanshuj16/algo-trading-skills/custodial-vs-non-custodial-tradeoff-assessment@sha256:34e17e6a1abcb39bThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
