WALLET

Definition

A wallet is a piece of software that allows one to manage their cryptocurrency by abstracting away much of the complexity that comes with the subject matter. A wallet does not store ones coins/tokens directly, rather it contains the cryptographic keys that grant access to them on a given blockchain. Unfortunately, the term wallet may not fit today's reality of the true digital landscape blockchains cover(art, memberships, music, etc...) and may be replaced over time.
