Web3 wallet
A Web3 wallet is a digital tool that allows users to interact with blockchain networks, manage cryptocurrencies, and engage with decentralized applications (dApps). Unlike traditional wallets, Web3 wallets store private and public keys, enabling secure transactions and authentication on blockchain platforms. They act as a gateway to the decentralized web, giving users control over their digital assets without relying on intermediaries.
Key Features:
Key Management: Stores private keys securely to sign transactions and prove ownership of assets.
Blockchain Interaction: Connects to various blockchain networks (e.g., Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain) for sending/receiving cryptocurrencies or interacting with dApps.
Decentralized Access: Enables seamless interaction with dApps, such as DeFi platforms, NFT marketplaces, or decentralized games.
Security: Often includes encryption, seed phrases, and multi-factor authentication to protect user funds.
Cross-Platform: Available as browser extensions, mobile apps, or hardware devices.
MetaMask is one of the most popular Web3 wallets, wdely used for interacting with Ethereum-based dApps.
