Wallet

A tool that stores your crypto’s private keys and lets you send, receive, and manage digital assets.

A wallet is a digital tool that lets you store, send, and receive cryptocurrency.
It doesn’t actually hold coins — it keeps the private keys that give you access to them on the blockchain.

Types of wallets

  • Hot wallets: connected to the internet (e.g., mobile apps, browser extensions)
  • Cold wallets: offline devices for maximum security (e.g., hardware wallets)

Why it matters

  • Without your wallet’s private keys, you don’t truly own your crypto
  • Choosing between custodial and non-custodial wallets defines who controls your funds

💡 Lanzo Tip

Use a hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor for long-term storage —
and backup your seed phrase safely, offline, and never share it with anyone.
