Wallet & Transactions

What is a crypto wallet?

Crypto wallets act as interfaces, consolidating public and private keys to streamline the management of cryptocurrency balances. Every crypto transaction is securely recorded on the blockchain. There are two primary wallet types: hot and cold. Cold wallets, often in the form of paper or hardware wallets, prioritize security by remaining offline, and are rendered difficult to access and use. On the other hand, hot wallets, typically mobile wallets tethered to the internet, not only offer additional features but also provide the convenience of regular and swift usage. While cold wallets are generally regarded as more secure, hot wallets present a wider array of features and user-friendly functionalities. The prevailing practice in the crypto platform domain is to blend both wallet methodologies for a comprehensive approach.
