What is a wallet?

A wallet is a digital wallet for cryptocurrencies. A wallet allows you to send and receive cryptocurrencies. Transactions (the transfers) are also recorded in the wallet.

The wallet interacts with a blockchain on which the information about your cryptocurrencies and your property (e.g. NFTs) is stored.

In order to access a wallet, you need a key (the so-called private key) that works like a password. You also need to know where your digital wallet “lies” (the so-called public addreess). Only with the knowledge of the private key and the public account can you dispose of the contents of your wallet.

If you lose the private keys, you will no longer be able to access the wallet. For this reason, we recommend that you print out the private keys and keep this information in a safe place.
