Why do I need to know the type of cryptocurrency wallets?
Different types of wallets serve different functions. All wallets have some limitations, most noticeable will be what currency they are compatible with. Our particular currency operates on the Binance Smart Chain. This means if you hold a currency like Bitcoin or Etherium you would need to convert it to BNB to buy our token. It may seem complicated at first but we are here to help.
What then is a cryptocurrency wallet?
Unlike traditional (fiat) currencies, you will not be able to hold your crypto assets or see them physically. Cryptocurrency is generally run by a set of codes. A crypto wallet is a piece of software or a program which enables you to safely store your digital assets. You can easily download it on your mobile phone or PC to make cryptocurrency transactions. Crypto wallets do not store your crypto assets per se, they however store the key to your assets. They hold the information that allows you to connect to your assets to keep them safe.
With a decent wallet, you can hold and have full control over more than 100 crypto holdings.
What are the types of cryptocurrency wallets?
There are two main forms of crypto wallets and they are hot wallets and cold wallets. Both have their pros and cons. While hot wallets can be connected to the internet, cold wallets cannot. Hot wallets are more flexible and also more vulnerable to attacks than cold wallets as a result of them being digital. Crypto wallets can also be categorized into software and hardware wallets. Software wallets are further subdivided into web wallets, desktop wallets, and mobile wallets.
Metamask
MetaMask was initially released in 2016. It is a software cryptocurrency wallet which is employed to interact with the Ethereum blockchain although it can support Binance tokens as well. Therefore, MetaMask is compatible with several developing tokens of which $Camistry is one.
