A bitcoin wallet is a software application running on any computing device (computer, mobile, etc, …) holding a private key by which user transactions are signed to ensure authenticity. It also creates, from the private key, a public key used to let other send bitcoin to the wallet.
It can be a full node, having a complete copy of the bitcoin blockchain or a spy, where only a small fraction of the blockchain is stored. SPVs get access to the whole blockchain by making queries to its related node.
There are 2 categories of wallets:
-
cold wallet. An electronic device disconnected from the internet which stores the private key and, when connected to a computer, interacts with it to sign the transactions performed within the computer. It can’t be accessed from any hacker or malware as it is not connected to the internet.
-
hot wallet. A software app running on a mobile device, computer or website which manages the private key and create and sign transactions. These can be full nodes or spvs.
