Wallet, address and key: understand the difference

The wallet is the tool

A wallet is an application or device that allows you to interact with an account: check balances, send transactions and access applications. The interface and the account are not the same thing.

The address identifies the account

The address is the identification used to receive assets into the corresponding network. The private key authorizes operations and must remain secret. In wallets that use a recovery phrase, this phrase allows you to regain access; it should not be sent to support, games, or other people.

Connecting requires attention

Before using a wallet in a game, check the website address through official channels and read each prompt displayed. Don't assume that every subscription is just a login. Transactions recorded on the blockchain cannot normally be undone.

Start with the documentation

Recovery model varies between products. Read the documentation for your chosen wallet before using it and follow the guidelines for protecting your credentials.
