A wallet is a software program where cryptocurrencies are stored including Bitcoin, Ethereum and other altcoin tokens. The wallet keeps track of how much crypto you have, what has been sent and received. These digital assets can be sent and received using a private and public key. A Digital wallet can be accessed via desktop computer, mobile phone, web and hardware for example the Ledger Nano S. Lastly, you can use a paper wallet too but still need to access a computer and enter your seed phrase to make a transaction.

Bitcoin wallet stores your private keys and sings transactions as needed. Some wallets have a full node which stores the entire blockchain in it, while others have SPVs that query from other full nodes. There are different types of wallets with varying privacy and risks of exposure. Hardware wallets are most secure as the private keys are never exposed to internet and potentially dangerous third parties.
