A cryptocurrency wallet is a digital tool that allows users to securely store, send, and receive digital currencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others. It consists of a pair of cryptographic keys: a public key, which is the wallet address where others can send cryptocurrencies to, and a private key, which is used to access and manage the funds stored in the wallet. There are different types of cryptocurrency wallets, including hardware wallets, software wallets, and online wallets, each offering varying levels of security and convenience for users.
