Crypto Wallets & The Role They'll Play In A Web3 Future

by Shaun Paul Lee

Wallets are an essential part of daily life, and no I don’t mean the physical-fiat holding wallets. I’m talking about crypto wallets. Wallets which store digital currencies, NFTs (though you probably want to hide the worthless ones), and digital identities.
