Before you can begin your cryptocurrency adventure, you need to open a Dash wallet. By using your Dash wallet, you can store and send Dash. In this article, you will get to know what a Dash wallet is used for, what kinds of Dash wallets are available, which ones we recommend and more.

A Dash wallet can both be physical or digital, keeps your public and private keys and connects with the ledger. You can compare your wallet's public key, which also functions as your "coin address", to your bank account number for Dash, where anyone can track the transactions made, but no one knows they are yours. Your private key serves as the access code to your Dash bank account, which can be seen as the public key, and used to transfer Dash.

A diversity of Dash wallets are available for you to choose from. The options differ from online wallets accessible through the web, to hardware wallets that are a bit more costly. On the picture below we have highlighted multiple wallet types and their attributes.
