crypto wallet
Bitcoin storage app
A crypto wallet is software or hardware that stores the cryptographic keys needed to access cryptocurrency.
The wallet doesn't hold the currency itself—that exists on the blockchain—but controls access to it.
Hot wallets connect to the internet for convenience; cold wallets stay offline for security: I moved my Bitcoin to a hardware wallet after the exchange hack.
