# Why Zero-Custody Execution?
An agent that holds your funds — even briefly — is a custodian, with all the risk that implies. Redelegator is built so the **outcome never sits with an agent**.
When a redeem confirms, the deployer agent swaps the capped USDC via LI.FI with the **user's connected wallet as the recipient**. The staked or swapped asset (e.g. wstETH) appears directly in MetaMask. The only thing an agent ever touches is the capped USDC for the seconds the swap takes, and the route is fixed before it runs.
> The agent is a router, not a vault. It can move the budget along a fixed path — it can never keep the result.
