A wallet is a tool that allows users to store, send, receive, and manage their cryptocurrencies and digital assets. Crypto wallets can be software-based, hardware devices, or even paper formats, depending on security needs. Rather than holding coins directly, wallets manage private keys that grant access to blockchain assets. Wallets also serve as gateways to DeFi platforms, NFT marketplaces, and decentralized applications. Proper wallet security is essential for protecting digital assets.
