    1. 0.2. How Software Wallets Work
    2. 0.4. Why Software Wallets Are Popular

A Software Wallet is a digital application that stores your cryptocurrency private keys and lets you send, receive, and manage digital assets from a computer or mobile device.

How Software Wallets Work

Software wallets come in the form of desktop apps, mobile apps, or browser extensions. They generate and store private keys locally on your device, giving you control over your funds. Some popular examples include MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and Exodus. Many also support features like token swapping, NFT management, or staking directly from the app.

Software wallets are convenient, user-friendly, and ideal for everyday crypto use. They strike a balance between accessibility and security, though they’re more vulnerable to malware and hacks than hardware wallets. For users active in DeFi, NFTs, or frequent transactions, software wallets offer flexibility without needing to rely on a centralized exchange.
