Cryptocurrency Wallets
A cryptocurrency wallet is a tool that allows you to interact with a blockchain network. It stores your private and public keys, enabling you to send, receive, and manage your digital assets.

Types of Wallets
- Hot Wallets: Connected to the internet (mobile apps, browser extensions, desktop software). Convenient but less secure.
- Cold Wallets: Offline storage (hardware wallets, paper wallets). More secure but less convenient for frequent transactions.
- Custodial Wallets: A third party (like an exchange) holds your private keys on your behalf.
- Non-Custodial Wallets: You control your own private keys. You are fully responsible for your funds.
- Seed Phrase: A 12 or 24-word recovery phrase that can restore your wallet if you lose access to your device.

Important Concepts
Your wallet does not actually store cryptocurrency. It stores the private keys needed to access your funds on the blockchain. The phrase "not your keys, not your coins" emphasizes the importance of controlling your own private keys.
