Each wallet type is different from each other but all that wallets will work one or more cryptocurrencies and will be able to store more cryptocurrency particularly “public addresses.” Public addresses are mostly like specific account numbers, it can be used to receive various cryptocurrency like Bitcoin and can be shared publicly.
    Each address relates to all transactions related with that address on a coin’s blockchain. A wallet allows you to view balances associated with an address and allows you to move funds around on the blockchain as you are the owner of the address. Proving you are the owner of the address is done with a private key. In custodial wallets, the owner such as a third party like an exchange, broker, etc hold the private key on behalf of you, and it is just a matter of adding a password into the wallet app developed by Cryptocurrency Wallet Development.

    Owner of private keys gives you full authority to control the funds associated with the corresponding public keys. That’s why it is important to keep the private keys safe and hidden. If the other person holds your key then they will get control over your coins. Also, it is vital to back-up your private keys to protect yourself from accidental loss. Without private keys, you might lose your funds.
