Every transaction about cryptocurrencies takes place on the Blockchain. Cryptocurrency wallets contain a public key (wallet address) and the private key required to sign cryptocurrency transactions. The public key is used to transfer cryptocurrencies. It is the key that allows people to send money to each other. The private key is the password that allows people to access their wallet. It should not be shared with anyone. The private key provides access to cryptocurrencies. Anyone who knows this key can check the coins associated with that address.
Types of Crypto Wallets:
There are different types of wallets according to the needs of crypto users. They are divided into hot wallets and cold wallets. Web-based wallets, mobile wallets, and desktop wallets are all hot wallets. Hot wallets are connected to the internet and can be vulnerable to online attacks. But it is faster and makes transactions with cryptocurrencies easier. Paper wallets and hardware wallets are common cold wallets. A cold wallet is usually not connected to the internet, so it is less useful, though more secure.
