Understanding Digital Wallets: A Beginner's Guide
What is a Digital Wallet?
A digital wallet is like a virtual pocket where you can keep and manage digital items, such as cryptocurrencies and digital art, also known as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). Just like a real wallet, a digital wallet helps you keep your digital belongings safe and organized.
Two Keys to Keep Your Wallet Secure
In a digital wallet, there are two "keys" that help you keep everything safe:
- Public Key: This is like your digital wallet's address. You can share it with others, so they can send you digital items.
- Private Key: This is like the key to your wallet. You use it to access your digital belongings. Keep it secret and safe, just like you would with a real key.
Using a Wallet for NFTs on Shopify
If you're creating an NFT on Shopify using Single, you'll need a special kind of digital wallet that works with a system called the Solana blockchain. This wallet will let you store your NFTs and receive any money you make when they're sold or traded.
