How we sourced this. Banana Gun figures on this page were compiled from publicly available documentation as of 2026-08-14, at medium confidence — largely triangulated from search results citing the vendor’s own docs rather than read end-to-end by a human. Primary source: https://docs.bananagun.io/. Anything we could not establish is marked Not published and is not scored against Banana Gun. Terminals change fees and features often — verify against the vendor before you act on a number here.

Custody: what actually holds your key
“Non-custodial” is the most abused word in this category. Almost every terminal claims it. The claim is usually defensible and almost always incomplete, because it describes a legal posture rather than a mechanism. The question worth asking is narrower and answerable: which machine generates your private key, and which machine is holding it right now?
The published wallet documentation describes user-controlled, exportable private keys. Agent execution is separately documented as using server-side managed wallets; review that model before enabling automation. Secure your sign-in account and any exported backup. Self-custody does not eliminate interface, account, smart-contract or market risk.
Banana Gun describes itself as self-custodial, and we have no evidence to dispute that. What we could not establish is the mechanism — Research established a Telegram bot plus a Banana Pro webapp and a self-custody claim, but did not establish whether the bot generates and holds the key or the user imports one. Not inferred. We will not assign a mechanism we cannot source, so that row reads “Not published” rather than being scored against them.

Frequently asked questions
Is Banana Gun self-custodial?
Banana Gun does not publish, in the documentation we could reach, whether the wallet key is generated by the bot or imported by the user. We have marked that as not published rather than guessing. GDEX Pro uses Web3Auth threshold cryptography: the key is split across multiple nodes and you can export it at any time.
What chains does Banana Gun support compared to GDEX Pro?
Banana Gun lists Solana, Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, MegaETH - 5 chains against GDEX Pro's 9 (Solana, Ethereum, Base, BNB, Arbitrum, Optimism, Sui, Sonic, Berachain).
Does Banana Gun support perpetual futures?
We could not source an answer. Banana Gun does not address perpetuals in the documentation we could reach, so we do not claim either way. GDEX Pro supports perpetuals via HyperLiquid.
