Some wallets offer an integrated trading feature within the wallet, allowing users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies directly. Typically, this functionality is enabled through a connection to a crypto exchange’s web interface. The integrated trading feature in wallets offers significant advantages: cryptocurrencies can be purchased in the same place where they are stored. This eliminates the need to manually transfer cryptocurrencies from an exchange to your own wallet, saving both time and costs.

Staking allows you to earn interest by “locking up” a certain amount of cryptocurrency for a defined period. The interest is generated through the consensus algorithm (e.g., Proof of Stake) used to validate and secure the network.

Support for managing and sending Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an additional security measure to enhance the protection of user accounts: besides the password, a second security component must be entered during login, such as a PIN code.

Multisignature wallets, or multisig wallets, require at least two private keys to authorize a transaction. This additional step significantly enhances security against unauthorized access, such as from personal threats. This security mechanism is especially useful for safeguarding large amounts of assets.

If your hardware wallet or device with the corresponding software wallet is lost or damaged, there is no need to panic. As long as you have your private key or recovery seed (also called “seed phrase”), you can restore your wallet at any time. The recovery seed is a combination of 12-24 words and is the most common backup method for wallets. Important: Keep your recovery words and private keys secret and never share them with anyone!
