A cryptocurrency wallet is a software program, online platform or a hardware device that holds the keys you use to send and receive various blockchain cryptocurrency tokens. It literally stores your ‘private’ keys and your ‘public’ keys – the secure way wallets communicate with blockchain cryptocurrency ledgers.

It also lets you look at your cryptocurrency balances. The interface, the way the software looks, helps users to understand their cryptocurrency holdings (how much they have in different cryptocurrencies .

The way blockchain works are that ‘ledgers’ get updated across all ‘nodes’ on the blockchain network. This means all individual ‘ledgers’ are updated at the same time – a wallet doesn’t hold crypto money, but a record of transactions.
