What is Polkadot (DOT)?

Polkadot is a unique platform that allows different blockchains to interact with each other and transfer data and value securely and efficiently without needing a central trust system. This platform empowers blockchains to maintain their distinctive features while benefiting from a collective security system, making it a highly scalable and diverse multi-chain solution.

What is a Polkadot wallet?

A Polkadot wallet is designed to securely store the private keys that manage your Polkadot (DOT) addresses. These wallets don't actually hold the DOT coins themselves; they remain on the blockchain. Instead, the wallet's primary role is to generate and safeguard these private keys, enabling you to effectively manage your Polkadot accounts. Essentially, a Polkadot wallet facilitates the storage, sending, receiving, and overall management of Polkadot.

How does a Polkadot wallet work?

Polkadot wallets use pairs of public and private keys to control access to blockchain accounts. While your public key can be shared to accept DOT, the private key must stay confidential as it provides access to manage your Polkadot account. To move funds, the associated private key is required. Tangem Wallet ensures secure storage and management of private keys within its hardware.

What are the types of Polkadot wallets?

Exchange Polkadot Wallets:
Services like Binance, Kraken, and Coinbase offer custodial wallets within their platforms for purchasing DOT with fiat currencies, although this comes with the risk of power being held by the exchange.
Software Polkadot Wallets:
Installed on your device, these wallets handle private keys and enable DOT transactions. They offer convenience but are susceptible to cybersecurity threats. Variants include mobile, desktop, and browser extensions.
Mobile Polkadot Wallets:
Applications for managing DOT on your smartphone.
Desktop Polkadot Wallets:
Programs installed on computers, where private keys are saved on hard drives or SSDs.
Hardware Polkadot Wallets:
Secure offline devices like Tangem, which provide a robust safeguard against online risks.
