How a Cryptocurrency Wallet Works
A cryptocurrency wallet is a digital tool (hardware or software) that enables users to interact with blockchain networks through public and private keys. Unlike physical currency, cryptocurrencies exist as data entries on a decentralized ledger. Key functions include:
- Public Key: Functions like a wallet address (shared for transactions)
- Private Key: Acts as a secure password (never shared) to authorize transfers
Transaction Process:
- Sending Crypto: Enter recipient’s wallet address → Specify amount → Verify with private key → Pay network fee → Confirm.
- Receiving Crypto: Share sender’s address → Await confirmation → Funds reflect in wallet.
Types of Cryptocurrency Wallets
| Type | Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Custodial | Third-party managed (e.g., exchanges) | Beginners, convenience |
| Non-Custodial | User-controlled keys | Security-conscious users |
Wallet Formats: Hot (online), Cold (offline), Mobile, Desktop, Hardware, Paper.
