Crypto Wallets Explained

Technology & fairnessCrypto wallets

A crypto wallet stores the keys that let you send and receive cryptocurrency. This guide explains the basics for crypto betting. It is general information, not financial advice.

Key takeaways
  • A crypto wallet stores the private keys that prove ownership of your cryptocurrency and let you send and receive it on the blockchain.
  • Non-custodial wallets put you in sole control of the keys; custodial wallets, like an exchange account, hold the keys for you for convenience.
  • Protect your private keys and recovery phrase, double-check addresses, and send a small test amount when unsure, since transactions are irreversible.

What a wallet is

A wallet does not 'hold' coins like a purse — it stores the private keys that prove ownership and let you move funds on the blockchain. See crypto betting explained.

Custodial vs non-custodial

Non-custodial wallets put you in sole control of the keys. Custodial wallets (like an exchange account) hold the keys for you, which is convenient but means trusting a third party.

Saying. 'Not your keys, not your coins' — with a custodial wallet, the provider controls access.

Networks matter

You must send funds on the network the receiver expects — see TRC20 vs ERC20. Sending on the wrong network can lose funds.

Keeping funds safe

Protect your keys and recovery phrase, double-check addresses, and send a small test amount when unsure. Crypto transactions are irreversible — see how to bet with USDT.
