Wallets

🔐 An NFT wallet is a crypto wallet that supports the protocol for the blockchain on which your NFT resides. Your wallet holds certain keys that allow you to interact with the blockchain (or multiple blockchains) and any NFTs or crypto associated with it.

💰 You can purchase, sell, and trade assets on the blockchain using your wallet and also store your assets offline in a secure way. Blockchains are not quite interoperable with each other (yet) so make sure that the wallet you choose can support the chain you want to interact with.

Some popular wallets for NFTs include:
