Our series on Bit2's features continues. This time: what self-custody actually means in a Layer 2 payment network. Holding your private keys is only part of the story. A user truly controls their assets only if they can spend them, recover them, and withdraw them under adverse conditions. Three properties determine whether that's real: Unilateral Access, Uncensorable Exit, and Mass Exit Safety. Most networks satisfy one or two during normal operation. The real test is whether all three hold when everything goes wrong simultaneously. Bit2 was designed around that standard from the start. Discover the latest entry in our series on the features defining Bit2, Fairgate's Bitcoin-native payment layer for the agentic economy.
