Wallets Explained

Cryptocurrency wallets don't actually store coins but provide interfaces to interact with blockchain networks. They manage the private keys that prove ownership of digital assets.

Types of wallets

  • Hot Wallets: Connected to internet (convenient but less secure)
    • Mobile wallets
    • Web wallets
    • Desktop wallets
  • Cold Wallets: Offline storage (more secure)
    • Hardware wallets
    • Paper wallets

When choosing a wallet, consider your priorities between security and convenience.
