What is a crypto wallet?
Rounding it up
A crypto wallet is a storage system for private keys and public addresses associated with your digital assets.
Since all crypto exists on the blockchain, a crypto wallet doesn’t physically “store” crypto.
There are three kinds of crypto wallets: online, hardware, and paper.
Each crypto wallet offers varying levels of security and convenience.
Regardless of what kind of wallet you use, keeping your wallet secure at all times is critical if you want to prevent theft and hacking attempts.
