# FAQ

> Answers to common questions about Liquid.

## Account and security

> [accordion] How is Liquid different from Robinhood or Coinbase?
>
> **Liquid is non-custodial**: we never hold your funds. You trade from your own wallet, and your assets stay in your control. Centralized exchanges take custody of your assets and your personal data.
>
> * **You control your assets.** Funds sit in your wallet, not ours, so they can't be frozen or misused by a middleman.
> * **No KYC to trade.** Centralized exchanges store sensitive identity data that can leak. Liquid doesn't need it to trade. Some deposit methods, such as bank transfers and some card providers, ask you to verify your identity.
> * **On-chain execution.** Liquid can't take custody of or move your funds. Trades settle on-chain.
> * **No custodial blowups.** There's no exchange balance sheet to trust with your money.
>
> See [Security and your wallet](https://docs.liquid.trade/account/security.md).

> [accordion] What happens to my funds if Liquid goes down?
