Questions

Which coins does Daedalus support?

Cardano, plus tokens on Cardano.

Is Daedalus open source?

Yes. Its source code is public at https://github.com/input-output-hk/daedalus.

Does Daedalus support multisig?

Not as far as the directory records. A multi-signature setup needs a wallet that can hold one of several keys; see the wallets directory for the ones that do.

Is Daedalus custodial?

No. Daedalus is self-custody: the user holds the keys, and nobody else can move the funds.
