One of the primary concerns with wrapped tokens is the involvement of a centralized entity in the wrapping and unwrapping process. This entity, usually a custodian, plays a crucial role in converting the original assets into wrapped tokens and vice versa.

Users have to entrust their original assets to the custodian during the wrapping process. This creates a scenario where the custodian holds the assets on behalf of the users until they decide to unwrap them.

The reliance on a custodian raises concerns about security. There is always the risk of the custodian being hacked or experiencing other forms of security breaches that could compromise the safety of the assets.

Custodial risk is another significant concern with wrapped tokens. Users have to trust that the custodian will manage their assets responsibly and not engage in any fraudulent activities. This trust can be difficult to establish, especially in a decentralized ecosystem.
