A wallet app may stop working, but blockchain balances do not live inside the app.
The critical question is who controls the private keys.
With a self-custody wallet, users can often recover access through another compatible wallet if they still have their recovery phrase or keys.
With a custodial service, the provider manages the keys, and recovery depends on its systems and policies.
A blockchain explorer can show the balance associated with a public address, but viewing a balance is not the same as being able to spend it.
Never share a recovery phrase with anyone claiming to offer support.
The same distinction matters when choosing applications for Decimal and $DEL.
