After funding your wallet, you can use it to interact with the UXUY protocol. This guide will help you get started.
To unlock the full potential of Web3, you'll need a cryptocurrency wallet.
Much like a browser serves as your gateway to the internet, a wallet acts as your portal for engaging with cryptographic applications—commonly known as dapps. Understanding the role of traditional versus digital wallets can provide clarity on the nature of Web3 or crypto wallets.
Traditional wallets are physical; you carry them in your pocket or purse to store credit cards, cash, driver’s licenses, and even photos of loved ones. Digital wallets, like those on mobile devices, are intangible yet hold various items, including credit card details, digital currency, concert tickets, and boarding passes.
A cryptocurrency wallet is a specialized digital wallet designed for Web3. It helps you manage permissions for data exchange, cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and more.
This tutorial outlines the steps to create a crypto wallet and connect it to UXUY for cross-chain transactions.
