A crypto wallet is a tool that lets you store, send, receive, and manage digital assets on a blockchain. Many wallets, including Ready, also allow you to connect to decentralized applications (dapps), giving you access to decentralized finance (DeFi), games, NFTs, and other onchain services.
Why do wallets matter?
Your cryptocurrency is stored on the blockchain, not inside your wallet. A wallet gives you access to your assets by securely managing the credentials needed to authorize transactions.
Some wallets are custodial, meaning a third party manages your account and security on your behalf. Others, like Ready, are self-custodial, meaning you remain in control of your wallet and your assets.
With a self-custodial wallet, you have full ownership of your funds, but you are also responsible for keeping your account secure.
What makes Ready different?
Ready is a self-custodial smart contract wallet built on Starknet.
Unlike traditional wallets that rely on a single private key, Ready uses Account Abstraction to provide a more secure and user-friendly experience. This enables features such as two-factor authentication (2FA), wallet recovery without a 12-word seed phrase, transaction protection, and flexible account security.
