Digital wallet. A software application, or other mechanism, that provides a means for holding, storing, and transferring digital currency. A wallet holds the user’s digital currency addresses, which allow the user to receive digital currency, and private keys, which allow the user to transfer digital currency. The wallet also maintains the user’s digital currency balance. A wallet provider is an individual or entity that provides the software to create and manage wallets, which users can download.
