# Features

A new approach to the wallet design ✨

## **Complete Stack**:&#x20;

A hybrid ([**custody + non-custody**](/assets-management/custodial-and-none)), [**multi-chain,**](/assets-management/chains-and-coins) [**crypto-fiat**](/knowledge-base/crypto-vs-fiat), multi-platform wallet with customizable access/privacy regulation. We've written[ **several articles**](/) about this because, in skilled hands, it’s an [**incredibly powerful tool**](/general-information/who-needs-walletium). Overall, [**Walletium**](https://t.me/walletiumbot) provides an unprecedented level of capabilities, freedom, and privacy. In addition, a whole range of extra features:

## <mark style="color:blue;">`#1`</mark> Walletium Keyring

A new way to organize your [**addresses**](/walletium-object/address-management) across multiple [**blockchains**](/knowledge-base/glossary#blockchain). Like many other points on this list, this feature deserves its own article—probably several. You can [**find them**](/walletium-object/walletium-structure) in our wiki. In short, it’s simply the most convenient way to organize your blockchain [**assets**](/assets-management/chains-and-coins).

***

## <mark style="color:blue;">`#2`</mark> Instant Zero-Fees Swaps

From the start, our project offers [**token**](/assets-management/crypto-tokens-uncovered) and [**stablecoin**](/assets-management/crypto-tokens-uncovered) swaps with virtually zero fees. This is possible thanks to our [**ecosystem**](/walletium-object/walletium-structure), where [**Native**](/walletium-object/address-types/native) and external addresses complement each other seamlessly.

***

## <mark style="color:blue;">`#3`</mark>  Telegram Platform

Aside from relatively soft KYC-policy, [**Telegram**](/general-information/telegram-basics/why-telegram) as a platform brings many benefits. It’s just very convenient in many ways. Push notifications are there and easy to configure. User access/security controls along with 2FA and telemetry also there. Additionally, being tunneled through [**Telegram**](/general-information/telegram-basics), our app essentially leaves no digital traces on either the user or provider side.

***

## <mark style="color:blue;">`#4`</mark>  Envelopes

Simply speaking, [**Envelopes**](/walletium-object/envelopes) are a revolutionary way to transfer money. It allows for peer-to-peer transfers of [**crypto**](/knowledge-base/glossary#cryptocurrency)/[**stablecoins**](/knowledge-base/glossary#stablecoin) to people who don’t have a wallet, [**Telegram account**](/general-information/telegram-basics/install), or even any platform for storing crypto. Everything is generated when they follow the [**envelope link**](/walletium-object/envelopes). [**Stay tuned**](https://t.me/teleteleteleb) for updates on this killer feature.

***

## <mark style="color:blue;">`#5`</mark>  Virtual Cards Integrated with Crypto

While the world remains in financial dichotomy, everyone needs to hold both [**crypto**](/knowledge-base/glossary#cryptocurrency) and [**fiat**](/knowledge-base/glossary#fiat) currency for expenses. The ability to generate and top up [**virtual cards**](/assets-management/virtual-cards) with crypto directly within one app is yet another groundbreaking feature.

***

## <mark style="color:blue;">`#6`</mark> Trusted Assets Only

We do not promote meme or pseudo-tokens. This is a core principle of our project. As a result, our users can feel completely safe from highly speculative assets. [**Walletium**](https://t.me/walletiumbot) focuses on time-tested, real [**coins**](/assets-management/chains-and-coins): [**ETH**](/assets-management/ethereum), [**BTC**](/knowledge-base/glossary#bitcoin), [**TRX**](/knowledge-base/glossary#tron), [**BNB**](/knowledge-base/glossary#binance), and [**stablecoins**](/knowledge-base/glossary#stablecoin). Additionally, [**TEX**](/assets-management/tex-token-and-daemon) serves as our native fuel. That’s it.

***

## <mark style="color:blue;">`#7`</mark>  Media Center

A compact [**media center**](/control-panel/media-center) right inside your pocket. In addition to exchange rates, it highlights the most important events of the week. This way, you can read the news, make a decision, and execute a currency [**swap**](/basic-interface-layer/deposit-send-and-swap) — all in just a few taps within the same app.

***

## <mark style="color:blue;">`#8`</mark>  KYC-Free Policy

Since our users are already on [**Telegram**](/general-information/telegram-basics), we simply provide extended functionality within this program. This frees both us and our users from regulatory overhead, which often stifles crypto projects of all scales.

***

## <mark style="color:blue;">`#9`</mark>  The Community

Our project is also a [**community**](https://t.me/walletiumbot). Users, developers, and industry enthusiasts come together for mutual benefit. Discussions about market trends, shared insights, and support all happen on the same platform as the project itself.

***

## <mark style="color:blue;">`#10`</mark>  Knowledge Base

[**Walletium** **Wiki portal**](https://wiki.walletium.net/) is a treasure trove of knowledge about [**cryptocurrencies**](/knowledge-base/different-types-crypto) and the [**technologies** ](/assets-management/chains-and-coins)behind them. It includes detailed descriptions of the wallet[ **interface**](/basic-interface-layer/deposit-send-and-swap), strategies for [**managing addresses**](/walletium-object/address-management) and [**private keys**](broken://pages/HGD8B9UvMIz7H0JEaFwm), and [**much more**](/extra-features/external-card). This portal can serve both as a reference guide and as an educational resource for users of all levels.

***

## <mark style="color:blue;">`#11`</mark>  Intuitive UI

We confidently state that from [**registration**](/getting-started/register-and-create-walletium) to [**deposit, swap, and withdrawal**](/basic-interface-layer/deposit-send-and-swap), we offer the simplest and most intuitive crypto wallet in the world. If you disagree, we’re happy to hear your [**feedback**](https://www.walletium.net/)—it’s the most valuable thing for us.

***

## <mark style="color:blue;">`#12`</mark>  Dynamic Master Address

Our [**liquidity pool**](/knowledge-base/glossary#liquidity-pool) secures the [**Native assets**](/walletium-object/address-types/native) of our users. These funds, distributed across thousands of addresses, serve as the source for blockchain withdrawals. Selecting the most cost-effective address for transactions is powered by our unique [**Dynamic Master**](/walletium-object/address-types/master-dynamic) technology.

***

## <mark style="color:blue;">`#13`</mark>  TEX Token

The tokenomics of our project isn’t a model or imitation. [**TEX** ](/assets-management/tex-token-and-daemon)is genuinely used for [**transactions and swaps**](/basic-interface-layer/deposit-send-and-swap). Its utility-driven demand encourages people to buy [**TEX**](/assets-management/tex-token-and-daemon), activating classic economic laws that drive up its value. For many, a rising [**token**](/assets-management/crypto-tokens-uncovered) is the only feature they look for. In our case, it’s a delightful but secondary effect.

***

## Conclusion:&#x20;

These features vary in significance, but each of them alone could be [**a reason**](/general-information/who-needs-walletium) for somebody to start using [**Walletium**](https://t.me/walletiumbot). And we offer all of this right from the start, for everyone.

**Business** **API**, **personal payment links**, **Address Extractor**, and many other exciting features are coming soon.

# Deep Paper

## Intro

No description of world finance from the 20th century or earlier remains relevant today. The world has undergone drastic changes, and money has always been a key driver of these transformations. In 2024, people understand the monetary system **less than ever before**. Even major, long-established regulators like governments and banks are struggling to grasp it fully. Instead of educating and adapting, they are focused on protecting and expanding their share of the pie.

However, money remains the primary tool we use every day, starting in childhood and continuing until the end of life. On top of that, frauds and scams of various kinds exploit the system to rob a blinded society. Controlling or influencing all the money in the world is impossible, but one can control their own wallet. The first step is to understand it thoroughly. Let's take a look at the current **monetary system**:

<figure><img src="/files/b0tusMGWPV6gaXvbnzEB" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

***

## Problem

It's a dual system where **both** [**fiat**](/knowledge-base/glossary#fiat) and [**crypto**](/knowledge-base/glossary#cryptocurrency) worlds **co-exist**. With no harmony between them till now. It is also a fluid system riddled with traps and backdoors, lacking transparency and security. It's suffocated by government control and hierarchical access, struggling with inflation and market impacts, all driven by greed.

While [**blockchain**](/knowledge-base/glossary#blockchain) offers a significant shift towards equality, it's still challenging for most people to embrace. Cryptocurrency is fraught with difficulties, numerous options, and scams. This is why modern individuals feel torn between a **lack of trust** on one side and **confusion** on the other.

<figure><img src="/files/ZhkwQi9me3OWA7loPUU1" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

***

## Solution

Once you get an idea of how the system works, you might consider **diversifying** your funds according to your level of trust in each option. The most crucial issue is that there is no single tool available for this task. No app or service can currently offer full control and proper functionality over your funds. Depending on your wealth and age you may encounter different problems.

A **proper tool** for this job - is exactly what we are building right now. It's already available in beta mode so you can test it by yourself. We believe it's already bigger and better than anything you've used to manage your funds. [**Walletium**](<https://t.me/walletiumbot >) — is a hybrid multichain assets manager, probably the first of its kind.

<figure><img src="/files/pn7fdNXOACknHxYOtQ8t" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

***

## Take Control

Decide which part of your wallet is non-custodial to keep the main stack and which part is custodial for ease of access and instant **swaps**. Organize your **keys** and share only what you choose. Top-up your generated virtual VISA/MasterCard to pay online. **Transfer** funds safely and with **minimal fees** via [**Telegram**](/general-information/telegram-basics/why-telegram). Extract, reorganize, and keep track of your assets in your preferred way.&#x20;

Your wallet can be [**backed up**](/security-and-privacy/backup-and-recovery) with different options depending on your **security** and **accessibility** needs. And yes, you can achieve 100% privacy at each step.

<figure><img src="/files/BAofTcpJwxA1Nvs7LGGr" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

***

## The Depth

As long as we live in a dual monetary system we need to grasp both part of it. Integrating them under one's control is a challenging task by itself. We've pushed it to the next level to provide the best experience from both worlds.

## Walletium API

Is the core engine of our project. It continuously works to parse and consolidate assets across many sources. Powered by its own token [**TEX**](/assets-management/tex-token-and-daemon), it collects data from blockchain, cards, and custodial wallets. This numbers are used to represent you the picture of your finance. Aside of that - [**API**](/walletium-api/walletium-api) allows you to swap, sign transactions and organize your funds in different way.

For this case, we’ve prepared a special article, [Telegram vs. WhatsApp](/general-information/telegram-basics/telegram-vs-whatsapp), which highlights key features and differences between the two ➡️


# Telegram VS WhatsApp

A Knockout Before the Bell Rings 🏆

Messengers have become a vital part of our daily lives, allowing us to easily connect with friends and family while sharing photos, videos, music, and more. Picking the best one can be a bit challenging, as it depends on your individual needs and how you plan to use it.

One of the most popular messengers is Telegram, created by Pavel Durov in 2013. Telegram stands out for its unique [technical](/general-information/telegram-basics/why-telegram/technical-features) and [social features](/general-information/telegram-basics/why-telegram/social-features): it is fast, secure, free, and ad-free. Available across all major platforms — [Android](/general-information/telegram-basics/install/android), [iOS](/general-information/telegram-basics/install/iphone), [Windows](/general-information/telegram-basics/install/windows), [Mac](/general-information/telegram-basics/install/macos) — Telegram offers far more than just basic messaging capabilities.&#x20;

## Telegram as a Platform for Free Communication and Communities

**Minimal Content Moderation and a High Level of Privacy** 🔐

Telegram has become a place where people can freely discuss current issues, find like-minded individuals, and share information. This is especially crucial in situations where traditional media may be controlled by the government or private interests.

Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO, highlights the importance of free speech:&#x20;

> ***"**&#x57;e believe in free and secure communication. Our duty is to provide technology that protects users' right to privacy and freedom of speech worldwide."*&#x20;

This makes Telegram a powerful tool for exchanging opinions and disseminating information, particularly in countries where access to free media is restricted. Users can create channels and groups with thousands of participants, making Telegram ideal for creating communities, organizing discussions, and sharing content.

## Security and Privacy

**The App Uses Several Methods to Protect Data** 🛡️

* **End-to-End Encryption**:  Available in "secret chats," ensuring that only the sender and recipient can read the messages.
* **Cloud Encryption**: Standard chats and groups use cloud encryption, allowing access to messages from any device.
* **Self-Destructing Messages**: In secret chats, users can set timers for messages to be deleted after they’ve been read.
* **Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)**: Protects accounts by requiring two methods of verification, adding an extra layer of security.
* **Chats Without Phone Numbers**: Users can communicate without revealing their phone numbers, enhancing privacy.
* **Local Data Storage**: Telegram allows users to store data locally on their devices for additional privacy control.
* **Auto-Delete Account After Inactivity**: Users can set their account to delete itself after a set period of inactivity.
* **Device Connection Management**: Users can view and manage all devices connected to their account and remotely log out if necessary.

These measures make Telegram one of the most secure messengers. So far, there have been no widespread reports of data breaches through the app itself.

## Management and Control Over Account Content

&#x20;**Feel Confident with Your Data and Chats Protected** 🔑

* **Message Deletion**: Users can delete messages for everyone in the chat, regardless of when they were sent, making it convenient to remove information.
* **Data Export**: Telegram’s desktop version allows users to save their chat history and media files locally on their device.
* **Message Editing**: Sent messages can be edited for a certain period after being sent.
* **Self-Destructing Messages**: In secret chats, timers can be set for automatic deletion of messages.
* **Auto-Deleting Messages**: In regular chats and groups, users can enable automatic deletion of new messages after a set time.
* **Control Over Personal Information**: Users can control who sees their phone number, online status, profile photo, and manage privacy settings for groups and channels.
* **Account Deletion**: If a user no longer needs the app, they can delete their account, and all data will be removed from Telegram’s servers.

## Virtual Numbers for Complete Anonymity

**Keep Your Identity Safe with Telegram's Virtual Numbers** 🕵️‍♂️

Telegram offers the option to register using virtual numbers, adding an extra level of privacy. Virtual numbers are generated through internet services and are not tied to a physical SIM card. This solution is ideal for those who frequently communicate with strangers or want to avoid spam.

Virtual numbers allow users to register any number of profiles, making it convenient for marketing or managing multiple accounts. Numbers with the +888 prefix cannot be used for calls or registration in third-party services; they are intended solely for Telegram.

All number data is stored as an [NFT](/general-information/telegram-basics/nft-numbers) in a crypto wallet, ensuring access only for the owner. The TON cryptocurrency, developed by Telegram, is used for buying and selling numbers.

## Cloud Data Storage

**Unlimited Cloud Storage and Easy Access Anytime**  ☁️

* **Unlimited Storage**: Users can store as much data as they need without limitations on the number of files, although the size per file is capped at 2GB.
* **Personal Chats for Storage**: Users can send themselves messages and files for personal storage in "Saved Messages."
* **Powerful Search**: Telegram allows users to search messages and files by keywords, filters, and dates.
* **Organizing Information**: Users can create folders for chats and add tags for easier search.
* **Collaboration**: Telegram enables file sharing with people outside the platform, making it a useful tool for collaboration.

Telegram is entirely cloud-based, meaning that all messages and files are stored online rather than on your device. This allows users to log into their account from any device and access all chats and files.

## Intuitive Interface

**Key Advantages of Telegram's Interface** ✨

* **Simplicity and Clarity**: The clean, intuitive design makes it easy to navigate without unnecessary elements.
* **Cross-Platform Availability**: The app offers consistent functionality across all devices (Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, Linux).
* **Customization**: Users can change themes, chat backgrounds, fonts, and even create custom stickers.
* **Speed**: The app performs well even with slow internet connections.

Telegram is known for its minimalist and user-friendly interface, making the app easy to use even for beginners. It allows customization through themes, night mode, and font style adjustments.

## Telegram as a Platform

**A Complete Platform Packed with Powerful Features**  🌐

* **Channels**: Create public or private channels for distributing information or content.
* **Bots**: Telegram supports bots for automating tasks, providing entertainment, or offering services.
* **Large Groups**: Supports up to 200,000 participants in a single chat.
* **Secret Chats**: Offer end-to-end encryption and self-destructing messages.
* **Poll Integration**: Create polls within chats and groups for gathering opinions or organizing votes.
* **Large File Transfers**: Allows files up to 2GB to be shared.
* **Cloud Storage**: All data is stored in the cloud and accessible from any device without physical synchronization.
* **Public Content Search**: **Telegram** allows users to search not only within private chats but also across public channels.

Telegram also includes a built-in photo and video editor, allowing users to adjust quality, brightness, and add text or stickers. This makes the app a multifunctional platform for communication and content creation.

As a conclusion, Telegram is much more than just a messenger for chatting with friends. It’s a versatile platform with strong security features, easy data management, bots, and large groups. User-friendly interface, cloud storage, and adjustable privacy settings makes Telegram a perfect tool for both professional and personal use.&#x20;

### ✅The bottom line :&#x20;

### There’s nothing that WhatsApp can do that Telegram can’t, but the reverse isn’t true. Telegram, while being the optimal platform for Walletium, is also a more progressive messenger and a perfect base for independent media and apps. It’s definitely worth exploring just for this!

## Downloading Telegram

<details>

<summary><strong>Why Download Telegram From the Official Website Instead of Google Play?</strong> </summary>

Choosing to download Telegram directly from the official website instead of the Google Play Store can be motivated by several factors:

**Control Over Privacy:**&#x20;

Users may prefer the direct download for greater control over their privacy and data, as the Google Play Store may impose certain restrictions.&#x20;

**Access to Latest Updates:**&#x20;

The official website often provides the most recent version of the app, ensuring users have access to the latest features and security updates without delay.&#x20;

**Avoiding Google Restrictions:**&#x20;

Some users might want to bypass any limitations that Google may impose on app content or functionality.

**While the Google Play Store version is user-friendly and regularly updated, the direct download option is appealing for those prioritizing privacy and immediate access to updates.**

How to Backup Your Telegram Data and Chat History💾

## Stay in Charge of Your Telegram Account

**Manage Conversations, Media, and Wallet Effortlessly** 💼

One of Telegram's standout features is the ability to export all your messages, images, and videos in a simple, easy-to-read format. Thanks to Telegram's open-source nature and strong focus on privacy, you have full control over your data. You can save everything for personal use and even delete it from their servers if you choose. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to back up your Telegram data on different platforms. In addition to managing your personal data and chat history, you can also manage your access to [**Walletium**](https://t.me/walletiumbot)**.** For detailed instructions on backing up and restoring it, check out the [**Backup & Restore** ](/security-and-privacy/advanced-settings)section.

***

## **Method 1: Backing Up Telegram Data on Desktop (Web or App)**

**Export All Your Data From Telegram on Your Computer** 💻

Telegram doesn’t offer full backups on mobile devices because all your data is stored in the cloud. This means your chats and media are synced across devices, so you can access them anywhere without needing a local backup on your phone. To back up your data, you’ll need to use the Telegram web version or the desktop app.

<details>

<summary>Step 1: Open Telegram on your web browser or desktop app</summary>

First, either launch Telegram on your web browser or open the desktop application on your computer.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Step 2: Access Settings</summary>

Look at the top left of the screen and click on three horizontal lines.&#x20;

Then from the menu, click on **Settings**.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Step 3: Navigate to Advanced Settings</summary>

Once you’re in the Settings menu, scroll down until you see **Advanced**. Click on it to proceed.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Step 4: Export Telegram Data</summary>

Under the Advanced menu, scroll down and find the option **Export Telegram Data**.

Then click on this option. Here, you can choose to back up all your data, including chats, photos, and videos.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Step 5: Start the Export</summary>

After selecting the data you wish to back up, click **Export**. The process may take some time, and within 24 hours, the data will be available for download.

You will receive a confirmation on your mobile Telegram app to verify the backup request.

</details>

Once the data is ready, you can download it directly to your computer. You’ll have your backup safely stored in case you need it in the future.

***

## **Method 2: Backup Telegram Chat on Android or iOS (Optimizing Media Downloads)**

**Optimize Your Settings to Automatically Store Important Files** 📱

Although you can't fully back up Telegram chats on mobile devices, you can ensure media is automatically downloaded and stored on your phone. Here's how:

<details>

<summary>Step 1: Open Telegram on your phone</summary>

Launch the Telegram app on your Android or iOS device.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Step 2: Access Settings</summary>

Tap on the three lines (hamburger icon) in the top left (Android) or bottom right (iOS).

Then navigate to **Settings.**

</details>

<details>

<summary>Step 3: Adjust Data and Storage Settings</summary>

In Settings, scroll down and select **Data and Storage**.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Step 4: Turn on Automatic Media Download</summary>

Under **Automatic Media Download**, make sure the settings are optimized for backing up media.

* **When using mobile data**: Ensure this is set to **High**.
* **When using Wi-Fi**: Set this to **High** as well.
* You can customize which types of media (photos, videos, documents) are automatically downloaded based on the chat type (contacts, groups, channels).

</details>

<details>

<summary>Step 5: Configure Media Storage</summary>

You can further configure the maximum file size for media that Telegram will automatically download. This ensures larger files (like videos) are always saved on your device.

Increase the limit as needed (up to 1.5 GB for videos and files).

</details>

By enabling these options, Telegram will automatically download and store your media files locally on your phone, acting as a partial backup. Backing up your Telegram data on mobile requires media settings adjustments, while the desktop app or web version offers a more comprehensive solution. Choose the method that fits your needs, and stay assured your data is safely stored.&#x20;

***

## ✅The bottom line:&#x20;

### In conclusion, Telegram offers a unique feature that allows users to easily export their messages, images, videos and files. This level of control over data is highlighting Telegram's commitment to privacy and transparency.

# NFT Numbers

A New Era of Privacy 🏰

## From Art to Utility

**The Practical Side of NFTs** 💡

**NFTs**, or **non-fungible tokens**, are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced or replicated. You might know **NFTs** as digital art or unique items that can be traded on **NFT** marketplaces. While **NFTs** are great for art, their potential goes far beyond just being creative items on the blockchain.

This article highlights how **NFTs** are being used in the [**TON Blockchain**](/knowledge-base/glossary#ton) through **Telegram** anonymous numbers, showing how users can create accounts without relying on a SIM card by purchasing an **NFT-backed number**.

***

## How Do NFTs Work with Telegram?

**Telegram Accounts as NFTs** 🔥

Recently, the Telegram team launched the [**Fragment Marketplace**](https://fragment.com/), where users can buy and sell **Telegram usernames** or **Anonymous Numbers** as **NFTs based** on the [**TON Blockchain**](/knowledge-base/glossary#ton)**.**

When someone purchases an **NFT number**, they can use it for a **no-SIM sign-up** on **Telegram**, ensuring their privacy is additionally protected by the **TON**. These **NFT** phone numbers are unique, their ownership can be only transferred or sold. The entire history of each **NFT** number is publicly available and easy to verify on the [**TON blockchain**](/knowledge-base/glossary#ton). As a result, unlike traditional numbers, they cannot be copied or stolen.

***

## How to Get an Anonymous Phone Number for Telegram Using Fragment (NFT)

**Get Private Telegram Access with NFT Numbers** 🛡️

Using a Fragment **(NFT)** number is a reliable and official method supported by **Telegram**. It's a great option if you don’t have a SIM card or if you want to keep your privacy. Floor price is around $700 or 150 **TON** (The Open Network Tokens), although premium numbers can be more expensive.

{% hint style="info" %}
These numbers can **only** be used with Telegram.&#x20;

They **cannot** be used to receive calls, SMS, or register for other services.
{% endhint %}

## Step-by-Step Guide :&#x20;

# Privacy

Here’s How Telegram Protects Your Privacy 🛡

## 1. Open Source Transparency

**Telegram’s** source code, protocol, and **API** are open for anyone to review, ensuring **transparency** in how your data is handled. 🔍

## 2. Self-Destruct Timers

You can set **self-destruct** timers on messages, ensuring that they automatically **disappear** after a certain period, giving you **full control** over your conversations. ⏳

## 3. Two-Step Verification

**Telegram** offers **two-step** verification for **added privacy** and **account protection**, requiring a **password** in addition to your **SMS code** when logging in. ✅

## 4. No Permanent Message Storage

**Telegram** doesn’t store your messages permanently, meaning **your data isn’t kept** on their servers indefinitely. This gives you **control** over your information. 💨

## 5. Non-Commercial Focus

Since **Telegram’s** primary goal isn’t to make a profit, there are no commercial interests that might compromise your **privacy**. Their **focus** remains on **protecting** your data. 📁

## 6. No Trust Required for Secret Chats

For **Secret Chats**, you don’t need to trust **Telegram** fully—just ensure that the **visualized key** in your chat **matches** your friend's to verify the **security** of your conversation. 🕵️‍♂️

## ✅ The Bottom Line :

### These features work together to ensure that your privacy is well-protected on Telegram.

### **Frequently Asked Questions: Referral Program Explained**

Let's go through the most common questions to ensure you understand how the referral program works! 🚀

{% hint style="success" %}

**Mention that:**

&#x20;Your **Walletium** wallet is not a platform for farming rewards but a space designed to **streamline financial interactions for everyone**—whether you're managing personal transactions, running a business, or engaging in Web3 activities. It ensures a **secure and user-controlled financial experience powered by cutting-edge features.**

**Walletium is the next generation of the internet,** bringing the **future of finance** right to your fingertips. With **top-tier security, seamless transactions, and full user control**, it offers solutions not only for **friends and family** but also for **freelancers, entrepreneurs, businesses, and blockchain enthusiasts** looking for a next-level digital experience.

**From multi-currency support and instant transactions to seamless Web3 integration and smart contract accessibility, Walletium is designed to empower users across the entire digital economy.**

The referral program is meant to reward **real users** who actively engage with the platform—not those looking to exploit the system. **Keep it fair and genuine!**

{% endhint %}

***

### <mark style="color:blue;">`#1`</mark> Why was my referral marked as invalid?

A referral may be marked as invalid if it does not meet the program’s eligibility criteria. Common reasons include:

* The referral did not complete the registration process using your referral link.
* Multi-accounting (creating multiple accounts or referring yourself).
* The system detected a fake account, bot, or non-genuine user.
* The referral came from paid sources, ad networks, or incentivized platforms.
* Abuse prevention measures detected suspicious activity.

***

### <mark style="color:blue;">`#2`</mark> What are the eligibility criteria for a valid referral?

To be considered valid, referrals must meet the following requirements:

\
**Sign Up Using Your Referral Link** – The referred user must register through your unique referral link.\
**Complete the Registration Process** – They must provide all required details and verify their account if necessary.\
**Be a Genuine and Active User** – Fake, inactive, or fraudulent accounts will not be eligible for rewards.\
**No Multi-Accounting** – Creating multiple accounts to refer yourself is strictly prohibited.\
**Pass the 7-Day Verification Process** – All referrals undergo an automated verification process to ensure compliance.

***

### <mark style="color:blue;">`#3`</mark> My referral is a real person. Why is it still showing as invalid?

Even if your referrals are real humans, mistakes during registration may impact the validation process. Common issues include:

* Incomplete registration (not following all required steps).
* Using incorrect or duplicate information.
* Violating the program’s eligibility rules.
* The referral being flagged by the system due to suspicious activity.

***

### <mark style="color:blue;">`#4`</mark> What is the 7-day verification process?

Every referral undergoes a **7-day verification period** to ensure it meets all eligibility criteria. During this time, referrals are in "Pending" status.

&#x20;Once verified:\
✅ The status changes from "Pending" to "Claim," allowing you to receive your reward. \
❌  If the referral is not valid, the status will not change, or you will not be able to claim the reward. Instead, when attempting to claim, a **popup message** will appear informing you that the referral is invalid. This ensures transparency and helps users understand why a referral was not approved.

***

### <mark style="color:blue;">`#5`</mark> Can I speed up the verification process?

No, the verification process is **automated and cannot be expedited or manually adjusted**. It takes approximately **7 days** to complete. We appreciate your patience while the system finalizes the checks.

***

### <mark style="color:blue;">`#6`</mark> My referral is still marked as 'Pending.' What does this mean?

If your referral is in "Pending" status, it means the verification process is still ongoing. Once completed:

* Valid referrals will change to "Claim," allowing you to collect your bonus.
* If you have multiple pending referrals, new ones will appear after claiming your current rewards.

***

### <mark style="color:blue;">`#7`</mark> Why can't I claim my referral bonus yet?

If you are unable to claim your referral bonus, it means:

* The validation process is still ongoing.
* The referral did not meet the program's criteria.
* The system detected suspicious activity or policy violations.

***

### <mark style="color:blue;">`#8`</mark> How does the system prevent abuse?

To maintain fairness, the system automatically detects and filters out:

🚫 Fake accounts, bots, and fraudulent activity.&#x20;

🚫 Users who do not actively engage with the platform.&#x20;

🚫 Multiple accounts created by the same person (multi-accounting).&#x20;

🚫 Referrals obtained through paid sources or incentivized methods.

***

### <mark style="color:blue;">`#9`</mark> What happens after I claim my rewards?

Once you successfully claim a reward:

* The bonus will be credited to your account.
* If you have additional referrals awaiting verification, they will appear on your rewards page once eligible. Referrals are shown in groups of 20 per page.&#x20;

***

### <mark style="color:blue;">`#10`</mark> Do I get rewards for every referral?

No, only **genuine and active referrals** that meet the program’s criteria will earn rewards. If a referral is detected as a bot, duplicate, or inactive account, it **will not be credited**.

***

## ✅ The Bottom Line :

Play fair, bring your crew, and explore the full potential of [**Walletium!**](/walletium-object/walletium-structure) The more you engage, the more you earn—so let’s grow together and make the most of every opportunity.

But the real power of our product comes through the control panel. Unlike traditional apps with hidden menus, it opens as a separate layer. This design makes all features easy to access and navigate.

***

There are a few ways to access the control panel.&#x20;

Use the **Menu Button** (☰) in the **top-left corner** of the main screen, or tap the **Notification Button** **(**&#xD83D;&#xDD14;**)** in the **top-right corner** for quick access to the compass without interrupting your workflow.

***

Since all  panels can’t fit on a phone-sized dashboard, we’ve added a compass for easy navigation. The tools are organized in a compass layout around the center, forming the homepage of the control panel. Tap or swipe in any direction to move that way. Go back to the compass, swiping in the opposite direction.

***

In the **Control Panel** or **Notifications**, the **Settings** and **Language** buttons will be located at the bottom of the screen. &#x20;

# Wallet

Your Asset Dashboard 📊

**The Wallet panel** is your main space for managing your addresses. Here, you can **check your balance, send, deposit, swap, and track** any activity related to your wallet. It provides a clear and well-structured overview of your assets.&#x20;

***

Your public user information, including your **login** and **profile picture**, is displayed in the top-left corner.

<figure><img src="/files/LYG05j03UWufCcrvCvOR" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

***

Below, you'll see all your addresses listed, with the [**Walletium Native Address**](/walletium-object/address-types/native) ( **ⓦ** )  at the top.

This address is unique to each user and allows you to store, withdraw, and transfer funds. It also offers free transfers within our wallet system.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/smImPPpGass5YL0oAqSg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The number in this address line shows the total assets across all addresses consolidated to [**Native**](/walletium-object/address-types/native).

***

Clicking the **ⓦ** icon will display a complete range of addresses associated with your [Walletium's Native Address](/walletium-object/address-types/native) on all supported blockchains. &#x20;

By selecting any of them, you can view the detailed **Asset Profile** and access options like **Swap** or **Send.**&#x20;

<div><figure><img src="/files/mP2cuOYIPOWmlsHKYbCv" alt=""><figcaption><p>Walletium Native consolidated Addresses</p></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="/files/Euwr9uYabj0HDEiUSioz" alt=""><figcaption><p>Asset Profile description </p></figcaption></figure></div>

Clicking the **ⓦ** icon again returns you to the full wallet address list.

***

Main wallet panel is a complete list of your [**Deposit**,](/walletium-object/address-types/deposit) [**Shared**](/walletium-object/address-types/shared), and [**Private addresses**](/walletium-object/address-types/private), it also displays your [**Walletium Native address**](/walletium-object/address-types/native) on top of the list.&#x20;

The addresses in the list are organized chronologically. The first address is always the [**Walletium Native**](/walletium-object/address-types/native) one, as it’s the first to be created. The rest follow in the order they were generated or added.&#x20;

[**Private addresses**](/walletium-object/address-types/private) have a **label**, making all four address types easy to identify in the list view.

**Deposit** addresses have a button "[**Deposit**](/walletium-object/address-types/deposit)**"** next to them, because that's the only function they support.&#x20;

All the other addresses **with no labels** are [**Shared**](/walletium-object/address-types/shared) ones.

<figure><img src="/files/Uvz4h2kq8T3194xwpUd7" alt=""><figcaption><p>Private Address Mark</p></figcaption></figure>

***

Clicking a [**Deposit address**](/walletium-object/address-types/deposit) opens a **QR code** representing your network public address (e.g., on the BTC network), a secure, shareable cryptographic code linked to your wallet for receiving funds. The system also informs you that deposits made to these addresses are credited directly to your [**Native address**](/walletium-object/address-types/native)**.**

<div><figure><img src="/files/TXcPVAWs9nCbWjYGclSj" alt=""><figcaption><p>Walletium Keyring</p></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="/files/j48vhbSZ2KyRxVlGn2J2" alt=""><figcaption><p>BTC Address QR Code Displayed</p></figcaption></figure></div>

***

Checking a [**Shared**](/walletium-object/address-types/shared) or [**Private address**](/walletium-object/address-types/private) provides options to open an additional layer for **Asset profile** or **Address profile** details.

The address is a core element of blockchain and the key component of a blockchain wallet. Address profile gives you detailed information about address type and its management.&#x20;

With project progress, this interface will offer an increasing range of features. As the first users of our product, the project team understands the importance of streamlined address management, especially at the interface level.

<figure><img src="/files/MPSVpmELOxfhJnlUFZQw" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Asset profile lets you manage your assets , swap or send them.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/zdHqtzuIr5xbQCA6Iccq" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

***

At the bottom of the screen, you’ll find two buttons: **Create** and **Import**.&#x20;

Any address you **create** through the Walletium interface will be set up as a [**Deposit** ](/walletium-object/address-types/deposit)or [**Shared** ](/walletium-object/address-types/shared)one, while any address you **import** can be either [**Private**](/walletium-object/address-types/private) or [**Shared**](/walletium-object/address-types/shared), depending on private key ownership.

[**Walletium**](<https://t.me/walletiumbot >)  supports various blockchains such as [**Bitcoin (BTC)**](/knowledge-base/glossary#bitcoin), [**Ethereum (ETH)**](/assets-management/ethereum), [**Binance Smart Chain (BNB)**](/knowledge-base/glossary#binance), [**TRON**](/knowledge-base/glossary#tron), [**TON**](/knowledge-base/glossary#ton). You can create as many addresses as you need and  import existing addresses from any supported blockchain.

# Address Types

Understanding Wallet Addresses 🔍

[**Walletium**](https://t.me/walletiumbot) is a completely new kind of **ecosystem** where powerful functionality meets simplicity. Our project aims to create a **hybrid tool** that brings together users, [**crypto**](/knowledge-base/glossary#cryptocurrency), and[ **fiat**](/knowledge-base/glossary#fiat) in one place, offering an all-in-one interface that makes [**blockchain**](/knowledge-base/glossary#blockchain) technology easy to use.

***

**Different types of addresses are necessary to suit the various tasks users need to complete.**&#x20;

**For example:**

* Sometimes, a user needs an address just to monitor a balance.
* Other times, a one-time [**Deposit address**](/walletium-object/address-types/deposit) can be required for a specific purpose.
* In some cases, a permanent address is necessary for ongoing use.
* For operations directly on the blockchain, special [**Shared addresses** ](/walletium-object/address-types/shared)might be required.

Each task requires a specific type of address to handle it effectively.

***

**Walletium ecosystem** is built around three main types of addresses—[**Native**](/walletium-object/address-types/native), [**Deposit**](/walletium-object/address-types/deposit), and [**Master**](/walletium-object/address-types/deposit)—which are central to how the system works. Let’s start with a general overview, beginning with the **addresses** as its **key elements**.&#x20;

A crypto address is a unique **identifier** on the [**blockchain**](/knowledge-base/glossary#blockchain), similar to a phone number or email address but with one key difference: it is fully [**decentralized**](/knowledge-base/glossary#decentralization) and **accessible only by the person with the corresponding private key.** A wallet can contain multiple addresses, each potentially holding **different types of assets**. Within a wallet, you can manage all associated addresses and their respective assets.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Each address is made up of two key parts:**

* Public Address: Used to receive crypto, safe to share with others. Displays balance and transaction history publicly (see[ **blockchain transparency**](/knowledge-base/glossary)).
* Private Key: A secret code that grants control over your assets. Ownership of the private key determines access over the associated address and its assets (see [**private key management**](/knowledge-base/glossary)).
  {% endhint %}

**So each address in your wallet has 2 main parameters - blockchain and key storage type.**

***

## **Public Address vs. Private Key**

**Public Address**\
A public address is a string of characters typically ranging from 26 to 42 characters, depending on the blockchain. **It’s safe to share since it only allows others to send funds, not access them.** The public address is derived from the private key and exists on the blockchain as a destination for your assets.

**Private Key**\
The private key is a randomly generated, 64-digit hexadecimal number that gives **full control over the wallet's assets. Whoever holds the private key owns the associated address and, therefore, the funds it holds.**

{% hint style="info" %}
Our [**backup system**](/security-and-privacy/backup-and-recovery) ensures you can easily recover your wallet, keeping your private key secure and ensuring your exclusive access to your assets.
{% endhint %}

***

## **How They Work Together**

The **private key** generates the **public key**, which is then used to create the **public address**. The public address is shared to receive crypto, but only the private key can unlock the assets. This ensures that while anyone can send you funds, only the person who owns the private key can manage them.

***

**Walletium Keyring Overview** 📜

<figure><img src="/files/33n10FzR2sSVzvivKFgo" alt=""><figcaption><p>Walletium organizes various address types, primarily differing by private key ownership.</p></figcaption></figure>

[**Walletium**](https://t.me/walletiumbot) **represents around 90%** of the total crypto market capitalization. It supports various blockchains such as **Bitcoin (BTC)**, **Ethereum (ETH)**, **Binance Smart Chain (BNB)**, **TRON**, **TON**, and **Walletium Chain**. These addresses can store:

* **Cryptocurrencies** like [**Bitcoin**](/knowledge-base/glossary#bitcoin) and [**Ethereum**](/knowledge-base/glossary#etherium)
* **Stablecoins**, which are tied to assets like the US dollar
* **Altcoins**, [**TEX** ](/knowledge-base/glossary)+ other cryptocurrencies.

{% hint style="info" %}
Your wallet reflects a copy of blockchain data, showing balances for each [**asset**](/knowledge-base/glossary#asset).&#x20;

Except for custodial [**Walletium Native addresses**](/walletium-object/address-types/native), where assets are actively managed and can be **stored**, **swapped**, **withdrawn**, or **transfered**.

# Native&#x20;

Basic unit of Walletium eco-system 💎

The **Walletium Native** **address** is **automatically generated** **when you set up your wallet** and can be seen as the **central hub** for managing all your funds. This is the core of the eco-syste&#x6D;**.** It offers the fastest and easiest way to hold, transfer, swap and withdraw various assets (**BTC**, **ETH**, **TRON**, **USDT**, **TEX,** etc.) via the **Send** interface. Additionally, it operates at almost no cost, with each internal exchange costing just **1 TEX**.

Technically speaking, **Walletium Native** is the [**custodial**](/assets-management/custodial-and-none) **component** of your wallet, but it's far from the only option available for managing your assets within it.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
**Walletium Native has its own unique address, which starts with the letter "w" followed by 15 letters or numbers. You can use this address to send or receive native funds within our system.**

* **Storing your assets.**
* **Swapping between different cryptocurrencies.**&#x20;
* **Withdrawing funds to external addresses.**
* **Transferring funds to other users within the wallet ecosystem.**

***

## How Native Works with Other Addresses

**All Your Deposits, One Unified Destination** 📍

Whenever you create a new [**Deposit address**](/walletium-object/address-types/deposit) in the wallet, any funds sent to it are automatically redirected to your **Native address**. This means that no matter how many [**Deposit addresses**](/walletium-object/address-types/deposit) you have, all the funds are gathered **in one place**, making it easier to manage everything from a central point.

***

## The Role of the Native Address

**Your Wallet's Hub for Seamless Crypto Management** ⚙️

**The Native address is the heart of** [**Walletium**](https://t.me/walletiumbot), allowing you to keep everything in one spot. It lets you **store, withdraw, swap and transfer funds**. Every address created through the wallet interface routes into the **Native address**, ensuring that your assets are centralised and easy to manage. This structure keeps everything organized, giving you **full control while simplifying the way you handle your assets.**

# Deposit

Discover the Deposit Type Address 🔑

In our system, **Deposit**, [**Private**](/walletium-object/address-types/private), and [**Shared**](/walletium-object/address-types/shared) addresses are stored on the blockchain, with the main difference being [**how the keys are stored**](broken://pages/HGD8B9UvMIz7H0JEaFwm).

Once you complete registration, the system automatically generates a unique [**Walletium Native** ](/walletium-object/address-types/native)address exclusively for each wallet, which exists **only within our ecosystem.** This address serves as the main hub for managing all your transactions.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
However, to actually move funds on the blockchain, such as sending or receiving assets, you need a **Deposit address**.
{% endhint %}

***

## Multiple Deposits, One Destination

**Manage All Your Crypto From a Single Wallet** 📊

A **Deposit address** can be created through the wallet interface with just a few clicks, allowing you to interact with the blockchains supported by [**Walletium**](https://t.me/walletiumbot) (**ETH, BNB, BTC, TRON, TON)**. The key for any **Deposit address** created by the user will be securely stored in the wallet. You can create as many **Deposit addresses** as you need across different blockchains, without worrying about losing track of your funds.

All of the assets from these addresses are consolidated into your [**Walletium Native address**](/walletium-object/address-types/native). This makes managing your funds easy, since everything flows into one place. The connection between **Deposit addresses** and the [**Native address**](/walletium-object/address-types/native) gives you full control over your funds, so you can store, withdraw, receive, and swap your **crypto**, **stablecoins** and [**TEX**](/assets-management/tex-token-and-daemon).

***

## Master Address&#x20;

**From Deposit to Master: The Big Switch 🔄**

The **Deposit** and **Master** addresses are essentially the same, just at different stages of their lifecycle. The **Master** address is the type used by the system for output, such as performing a [**Send** ](/basic-interface-layer/deposit-send-and-swap)operation from the interface. **Right before a withdrawal operation, the Deposit address changes its status to Master.** As a result, the **Deposit address** will no longer appear in the user’s interface.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
**Every Deposit address** will eventually become **Master address.**&#x20;
{% endhint %}

**The status changes from Deposit to Master in the following situations:**&#x20;

1. When the first deposit is made.
2. By timeout (initially, the address is valid **for one hour**).
3. As needed (for example, when it’s required for a withdrawal).
4. By decision of the admin.
5. By decision of the user.&#x20;
6. Never.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Even if funds are sent to an expired deposit address, they won’t be lost. Contact [**support**](/getting-started/help-and-support) to resolve the issue.
{% endhint %}

# Private

Check the Private Type Address 🔒

A **private address** is one you import into the wallet **without providing access to the** [**private key**](/knowledge-base/glossary#private-key). This means the wallet can’t manage or move funds, **as only you control the private key**. However, it can still **monitor transactions** and notify you of incoming or outgoing funds.

To perform a transaction from a **Private address**, you’ll need to **manually enter the private key**. Make sure to learn more about **private key storage** and the **precautions** you should take [**here.**](broken://pages/HGD8B9UvMIz7H0JEaFwm) Alternatively, you can grant the wallet access to the key, converting the **Private address** into a [**Shared address**](/walletium-object/address-types/shared) for full management through the wallet. This way, the address status will change from **Private** to [**Shared**](/walletium-object/address-types/shared).

As a result, you can import and organize all your addresses in one place **using only** [**public addresses**](/knowledge-base/glossary#public-key), with no need to provide your private keys unless necessary. &#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
The flexibility we provide makes [**Walletium**](https://t.me/walletiumbot) a unique tool, offering a hybrid approach that enables both monitoring and full management in one place.

# Shared

Identify Your Address’s Shared Type 🔓

A **Shared address** is one for which both the user and the wallet **each hold a** [**private key**](/knowledge-base/glossary#private-key). This type of address can be created in a few different ways, making it flexible for various needs and setups.

**The first way** a **Shared address** can be set up is **by** [**importing**](/walletium-object/address-management/importing) it into the wallet in few easy steps. This is done by providing access to the [**private key**](/knowledge-base/glossary#private-key), either immediately or later. Once you transfer the address to the wallet, the [**Private address**](/walletium-object/address-types/private) becomes **Shared**, allowing you to fully manage it through our interface.

**Another way** to establish a **Shared address** is by **requesting the generation** of a **Shared address** while maintaining the privacy of your key.

**Alternatively**, you can **request the key to your** [**Deposit address**](/walletium-object/address-types/deposit) (in this way transferring it to the **Shared** category).

***

In any of these cases, the owner **grants access to the funds, allowing the full use of the** [**Walletium's** ](https://t.me/walletiumbot)**capabilities.** At your request, funds from this address can easily be transferred, whether into an envelope, to another user, or to [**Walletium Native address**](/walletium-object/address-types/native), allowing you to **fully engage with our platform. Until then, it serves as a convenient and secure way to store small to medium amounts.**

{% hint style="info" %}
[**Walletium** ](https://t.me/walletiumbot)offers you all possible combinations of address/key storage policy, allowing you to combine the best options for your needs. By taking advantage of these features, you can efficiently manage your crypto assets while maintaining security and convenience.

# Master Dynamic

Ready to Go ⚡

{% hint style="info" %}
The **Dynamic Master Address** is a key feature of  **Walletium ecosystem**, ensuring seamless, cost-efficient, and optimized performance for every transaction.
{% endhint %}

***

The **Dynamic Master Address** comes into play when users perform a [**Send**](/basic-interface-layer/deposit-send-and-swap) operation from the wallet interface. This means transferring assets to an address outside the wallet ecosystem, with transfer fees varying across networks depending on factors like:

* How many transactions have already been made from the sending address.&#x20;
* Whether the transaction involves a single address or multiple addresses at once.
* The current level of network traffic.

All of these details can get complicated, but our users don’t need to worry about them. [**Walletium** ](https://t.me/walletiumbot)system includes a special micro-service called the **Dynamic Master Address**, which automatically handles these complexities.

The **Dynamic Master Address** is a unique withdrawal address selected by an algorithm for each transaction to make it as cheap and fast as possible, based on current network conditions. We call it **“dynamic”** because it’s chosen instantly, or “on the fly,” to ensure the best results for each transaction.

# Address Management

Why Are There So Many Types of Crypto Wallet Addresses? 🧐

Cryptocurrency wallet addresses are used to send and receive money on blockchain networks. These unique digital identifiers let people transfer funds securely. All wallet addresses have the same basic purpose: to handle transactions. That being said, there are different types of wallet addresses because blockchains work in different ways, and people have different needs for security, control, and convenience. People also use different wallet addresses for specific purposes, like everyday spending, saving money, business transactions, using [**smart contracts**](/knowledge-base/glossary#smart-contract), or managing [**DeFi** ](/knowledge-base/glossary#defi)investments and staking.

[**Walletium** ](https://t.me/walletiumbot)provides you with the flexibility to choose the most convenient options for you or use all the existing address types, depending on your level of experience and the amount of control and involvement you prefer. It represents approximately 90% of all networks and tokens in the crypto market, and it can store [**cryptocurrencies**](/knowledge-base/glossary#cryptocurrency), [**stablecoins**](/knowledge-base/glossary#stablecoin), and [**altcoins**](/knowledge-base/glossary#altcoin) (including [**TEX** ](/assets-management/tex-token-and-daemon)and other cryptocurrencies).

***

## <mark style="color:blue;">`#1`</mark> Reason: Compatibility with Blockchain Networks

Different cryptocurrencies operate on separate blockchain networks (e.g., [**Bitcoin**](/knowledge-base/glossary#bitcoin), [**Ethereum**](/knowledge-base/glossary#etherium), [**Binance Smart Chain**](/knowledge-base/glossary#binance-smart-chain-bsc) and others). Each blockchain has its unique wallet address format, and a specific wallet address is needed to store, send, and receive a particular cryptocurrency.

Every blockchain has its own standards for creating wallet addresses.These standards ensure compatibility and efficiency in the network:

* **Walletium Native** - A unique address that begins with the letter "**w,**" followed by **15 characters** consisting of letters or numbers. This address can be used to send or receive funds within our system.
* **Bitcoin**: Addresses may start with `1`, `3`, or `bc1`. These prefixes represent different formats like Legacy, SegWit, or Bech32.
* **Ethereum**: All addresses start with `0x`, indicating their use with Ethereum's smart contracts.
* **Other Blockchains**: Solana, for example, uses a simpler `base58` format to prioritize speed and efficiency.

***

## <mark style="color:blue;">`#2`</mark> Reason : Key Storage&#x20;

A private key grants you ownership of a cryptocurrency address. [**Walletium**](https://t.me/walletiumbot) offers you all possible options for key storage, providing three ways to store private keys. This choice determines the type of address you use.&#x20;

1. [**Native Address**](/walletium-object/address-types/native):
   * Automatically generated for you during registration.
   * Fully managed by the wallet, offering the easiest and fastest way to store, send, and withdraw assets.
2. [**Deposit Address**](/walletium-object/address-types/deposit):
   * Addresses created through the wallet interface on any of the supported blockchains. You can create as many deposit addresses as needed.
   * All funds sent to these addresses automatically go to your Native address for centralized management.
3. [**Private Address**](/walletium-object/address-types/private):
   * The user owns and controls the private key.
   * Designed for long-term storage or advanced users who prefer to store private keys independently and manually input them for each required operation.
4. [**Shared Address**](/walletium-object/address-types/shared):
   * The private key is shared between the user and the wallet. This applies to addresses imported from other wallets or exchanges, as well as addresses generated upon request, while ensuring the privacy of your key.
   * Allows full management of the address while keeping some level of shared access.

Depending on your level of experience and the amount of control you desire, you have the flexibility to choose a particular one\* or use all the address types offered by our wallet. Keep in mind that inexperience can compromise transaction security and potentially lead to the loss of funds.

> &#x20;\*[**Walletium Native**](/walletium-object/address-types/native) is a custodial component of our wallet that handles all essential tasks, such as storing, swapping, withdrawing, and transferring funds to other users within the wallet ecosystem without any fees.

***

## <mark style="color:blue;">`#3`</mark> Reason : Security & Convenience

1. [**Native**](/walletium-object/address-types/native) **and** [**Deposit Addresses**](/walletium-object/address-types/deposit):
   * Perfect for **daily transactions**
   * Easy to manage and ideal for storing small to medium amounts of cryptocurrency.
2. [**Private Addresses**](/walletium-object/address-types/private):
   * Best for **long-term storage** of **large amounts.** Since you alone own the private key, these addresses offer the highest level of security. Learn more about how to maximize the security of your private key storage [here. ](broken://pages/HGD8B9UvMIz7H0JEaFwm)
3. [**Shared Addresses**](/walletium-object/address-types/shared):
   * A middle ground, where both you and the wallet share control. Useful for imported addresses or collaborative setups.
4. Using multiple wallet addresses can improve privacy by making it harder to trace transactions and link them to an individual.
5. Generating new addresses for each transaction is a privacy-focused approach.

***

## ✅ The Bottom Line:&#x20;

There are many types of crypto addresses because different blockchains have unique rules, and users have diverse needs for security and convenience. [**Walletium**](https://t.me/walletiumbot) meets all of these needs, allowing you to create diverse types of addresses through our wallet interface or import them into **Walletium Ring**, whether you're a beginner or an experienced crypto user.

# How to Get Your Address from Trust wallet

Steps to Securely Extract Your Address 🔑

**Trust Wallet** is a [**non-custodial**](/knowledge-base/glossary#non-custodial) wallet, giving you control over your **private keys** and, consequently, your funds. The app secures access to your assets through a [**12-word recovery phrase**](/knowledge-base/glossary#recovery-phrase) that **encapsulates all your private keys**. While **Trust Wallet** does not provide a direct feature to export individual **private keys**, they can be derived using your recovery phrase.

To access the private key for a specific [**address**](/knowledge-base/glossary#address), start by copying your recovery phrase from **Trust Wallet**. Since the app **does not include built-in tools** for extracting individual private keys, users must rely on third-party tools or methods, which may involve potential security risks.

***

## Trust Wallet app&#x20;

1. Open the **Trust Wallet** app and select the **Settings** tab.

<figure><img src="/files/Yx3nL9xaj94AKeDAKZmj" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

<figure><img src="/files/WDC4xJDAQAkPwmf49oE1" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

4. A popup window will display your **12-word secret phrase**. You can write it down or download it, but ensure it remains private and never share it with anyone.

<figure><img src="/files/zEk3IkTyRrXbZaB9bXEJ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

5. Convert your **secret phrase** to a **private key.**&#x20;

***

## Example of Conversion&#x20;

Now that you have your secret phrase, you can convert it into a private key. You can do this manually using a Python script if you have coding knowledge or by using an online tool.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
**Keep in mind to exercise caution when using online tools.**

# How to withdraw USDT from Binance to Walletium&#x20;

Step-by-Step to Secure Your USDT 🧭

Tether **(USDT)** is the most popular and widely used [**stablecoin**](/knowledge-base/glossary#stablecoin) in the cryptocurrency market. As of November 2024, Tether **(USDT)** operates natively on 15 different blockchains, including [**Ethereum**](/assets-management/ethereum), [**Tron**](/knowledge-base/glossary#tron), and others supported by **Walletium.**

# Key Management

Essential Guidelines for Walletium Users 🛡️

In the world of cryptocurrency, your **private key** is your gateway to financial independence and control. It’s the digital key to your [**address**](/knowledge-base/glossary#address), allowing you to access, manage, and transfer your [**assets**](/knowledge-base/glossary#asset). However, with great power comes great responsibility. Mismanaging your private key can lead to irreversible loss of funds. Below is your guide to understanding, storing, and securing private keys.

***

## **What Is a Private Key?**

**A private key is a unique alphanumeric string that**:&#x20;

1. **Signs Transactions**: **Verifies** and **authorizes** cryptocurrency transactions.
2. **Enables Multi-Wallet Access**: Lets you manage the **same blockchain address across various wallets or apps.**
3. **Proves Ownership**: Serves as the ultimate proof that the cryptocurrency **belongs to you.**

***

{% hint style="info" %}

#### **Never Share Your Private Key**

No legitimate[ **Walletium** ](https://t.me/walletiumbot)provider, support team, or service will ever ask for your private key. Sharing it compromises your assets, granting full control to anyone who possesses it.
{% endhint %}

***

## **Best Practices for Storing Private Keys**

**Storage Options** 📦

1. **Cold Storage for Long-Term Holdings**:
   * Use hardware wallets or paper wallets for large amounts of cryptocurrency that you don’t plan to move frequently.
   * You should have at least three copies of your data stored in separate, secure physical locations to ensure protection against loss, theft, or damage.
2. **Hot Wallets for Daily Use**:
   * For smaller amounts, use secure software wallets that balance convenience and safety.
3. **Physical Copies**:
   * Write your private key or recovery phrase ([**seed phrase**](/knowledge-base/glossary#seed-phrase)) on paper.
   * Think about carving it onto something strong, like stainless steel, so it lasts a long time.
   * Store each copy in fireproof, waterproof safes in secure locations.
4. **Secure Digital Copies with Encryption**
   * **Use Encrypted Devices:** Store digital copies on **USB drives** or **external hard drives** that are encrypted. Encryption transforms your data into a secure code, accessible only with the right password or key.
   * **Choose Strong Encryption Tools:** Use reliable tools that can encrypt your data, ensuring it remains safe even if the device is lost or stolen.
   * **Protect Your Keys:** Avoid storing passwords or encryption keys unprotected on computers, smartphones, or cloud services. These keys are crucial for unlocking your encrypted data, and **keeping them secure is essential**.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Why Encryption Matters**\
Encryption safeguards sensitive information, making it inaccessible to unauthorized individuals, even if they obtain your storage devices.
{% endhint %}

***

## **Recommended Methods for Key Security**

**Smart Ways to Keep Your Keys Safe 🔐**

<details>

<summary><strong>Hardware Wallets</strong></summary>

Store your private keys offline, keeping them safe from online threats. To stay secure, **make sure to keep your recovery phrase (given during setup) private and well-protected**. Store backups in several safe places to avoid losing access.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Paper Wallets</strong></summary>

Are physical versions of private keys. To protect them, **consider laminating or covering paper copies to avoid damage.** Store them securely in fireproof safes or sealed containers.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Software Wallets</strong></summary>

Apps or programs **used to manage cryptocurrency.** To stay secure, **regularly back up your private key or seed phrase** and **enable two-factor authentication (2FA)** for extra protection.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Shamir’s Secret Sharing</strong></summary>

This is a way to **split your private key into multiple pieces**, so only a few are needed to put it back together. It’s useful because it adds **extra safety and lowers the chance of losing access if one backup is lost.**

</details>

***

## **Planning for Emergencies**

**Safe and Sound 🔔**

{% hint style="info" %}

* **Disaster Readiness**:
  * Account for risks like floods or fires by storing backups in geographically diverse locations.
* **Access Management**:
  * Ensure trusted individuals (e.g., family or heirs) know how to access your backups in emergencies.
* **Long-Term Backup Maintenance**:
  * Periodically refresh digital backups to avoid data corruption.
  * Use durable materials for physical backups to withstand time.

{% endhint %}

***

## **Security Dos and Don’ts**

**No Keys Left Behind** 🚫

{% hint style="success" %}

#### **Do:**

* Keep private keys offline whenever possible.
* Use encrypted backups for any digital storage.
* Always keep three copies of your important stuff in different places. If one gets lost or broken, you’ll still have extras to keep your things safe.

{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}

#### **Don’t:**

* Share private keys with anyone.
* Store private keys in emails, on cloud storage, or as unencrypted files.
* Leave physical copies in unprotected or obvious locations.

{% endhint %}

***

## **Key Myths, Key Facts**

**Get the Real Deal** 🔍

* **Myth**: *"I can recover my private key if lost."*

  **Fact**: Private keys cannot be reset. If lost, access to your assets is permanently gone without a backup.
* **Myth**: *"I need multiple keys for different wallets."*

  **Fact**: One private key can work across multiple wallets managing the same blockchain address.
* **Myth**: *"Storing private keys in email or the cloud is safe."*

  **Fact**: This exposes them to phishing and hacking risks.

***

## ✅ **The Bottom Line :**&#x20;

Your private key is the cornerstone of your cryptocurrency security. Treat it with utmost care by diversifying storage methods, maintaining backups, and planning for unforeseen events. **By following these guidelines, you ensure the safety of your digital assets while enjoying the freedom and autonomy that cryptocurrencies offer.**

{% hint style="info" %}
**(**[**Native**](/walletium-object/address-types/native)**,** [**Deposit,**](/walletium-object/address-types/deposit) **and** [**Shared)**](/walletium-object/address-types/shared) **completely secure.** **However, for** [**Private addresses**](/walletium-object/address-types/private)—where only you have access to the private key—**you are fully responsible for keeping it safe**. **Always be careful when managing private keys, as losing them means losing access to your funds.**

# Chains & Coins

What You Need to Know 🧩

When it comes to [**blockchain**](/knowledge-base/glossary#blockchain) technology and cryptocurrency, the terms "[**chains**](/knowledge-base/glossary#blockchain)" and "[**coins**](/knowledge-base/glossary#coin)" are frequently used. This guide will help you understand the **key differences** between multiple chains and multiple coins and **how they impact** your experience as a user.&#x20;

***

## What is a Chain?

**Where Digital Records Never Sleep** 🔗

A blockchain is like a **digital ledger** that **records transactions** across a network. Each blockchain can support various applications and assets. Some blockchains, such as [**Bitcoin**](/knowledge-base/glossary#bitcoin), are focused on one specific cryptocurrency, while others, like [**Ethereum**](/knowledge-base/glossary#etherium), allow for the creation of new tokens and applications.

{% hint style="info" %}
**For example,**&#x20;

**Bitcoin (BTC) -** a digital currency and store of value that operates on a [**decentralized** ](/knowledge-base/glossary#decentralization)network using [**Proof of Work (PoW)** ](/knowledge-base/glossary#proof-of-work-pow)**f**or consensus. It is known for its immutability and security, often referred to as "digital gold."

**Ethereum (ETH)** - supports smart contracts and decentralized applications[ **(dApps)**](/knowledge-base/glossary#dapp-decentralized-application), transitioning from [**Proof of Work (PoW)**](/knowledge-base/glossary#proof-of-work-pow) to [**Proof of Stake (PoS)**](/knowledge-base/glossary#proof-of-stake-pos). It is known for its **transparency and innovative capabilities**.

**Binance Smart Chain (BSC)** - designed for fast and low-cost transactions, using [**Proof of Staked Authority (PoSA)**](/knowledge-base/glossary#proof-of-staked-authority-posa). It is compatible with **Ethereum-based** applications and facilitates efficient asset transfers between **Binance Chain** and **BSC**.
{% endhint %}

**Key Features :**&#x20;

**Decentralization**: Operates **without a central authority**, with data distributed across a network of nodes.

**Consensus Mechanisms**: Uses methods like [**Proof of Work (PoW)**](/knowledge-base/glossary#proof-of-work-pow) or [**Proof of Stake (PoS)**](/knowledge-base/glossary#proof-of-stake-pos) to agree on transaction validity and secure the network.

**Immutability**: Once data is recorded on the blockchain, **it cannot be altered or deleted**, ensuring a permanent and tamper-proof record.

**Transparency**: Transactions are **visible** and **traceable** by all participants, promoting openness and accountability.

**Security**: Employs cryptographic techniques to protect data and ensure that transactions are secure and verified.

***

## What is a Coin?

**More Than Just Currency in the Digital Age** 🌍

In the cryptocurrency world, a "**coin**" is a **digital asset** that operates on its **own blockchain.**&#x20;

Coins can be used in several ways. They serve as a **medium of exchange**, allowing you to buy goods and services like traditional currency . They also act as a **store of value**, similar to saving money in a bank. Additionally, coins **help measure and compare** the value of different assets or investments.

{% hint style="info" %}
**For example**,&#x20;

**Bitcoin (BTC)** and **Ethereum (ETH)** are considered **coins** because each has its own **blockchain.**

**Bitcoin (BTC)**: The first and most well-known cryptocurrency, designed as a [**decentralized** ](/knowledge-base/glossary#decentralization)digital currency.

**Ethereum (ETH)**: Known for its [**smart contract**](/knowledge-base/glossary#smart-contract) functionality and decentralized applications, running on its own blockchain.

{% endhint %}

**Key Features :**&#x20;

**Decentralization**: Most coins operate on [**decentralized** ](/knowledge-base/glossary#decentralization)networks, meaning there is **no central authority that controls them.**

**Consensus Mechanisms**: Coins use various consensus mechanisms (like [**Proof of Work**](/knowledge-base/glossary#proof-of-work-pow) or [**Proof of Stake**](/knowledge-base/glossary#proof-of-stake-pos)) to validate and record transactions on their blockchains.

**Supply**: Coins can have a fixed supply (ex., Bitcoin with a maximum of 21 million BTC) or a variable supply, depending on their design and protocol.

***

## Crypto Variety

**The Reason Behind All These Tokens and Networks**  💡

> “If you can build a token, if you can build a culture, then you can rebuild the world” — Mark Beylin, Founder of Bounties Network

**There are so many tokens and blockchains, and the number keeps growing because each one is created to meet a specific need or  problem.** More tokens are being developed to offer solutions like privacy protection, storage capabilities, and support for [**decentralized apps**](/knowledge-base/glossary#dapp-decentralized-application). Some tokens are also created for marketing purposes or to connect with traditional financial systems.

Blockchain networks are continually evolving to enhance features like speed, security, and scalability. Each network brings something unique to the table, helping the crypto world adapt to different industries and needs. This variety drives innovation and ensures that customized solutions are accessible for a wide range of use cases throughout the blockchain ecosystem.

## Focused on Trusted Blockchain Solutions

**Teaming Up With Strongest Networks** 🌐

<mark style="color:blue;">`#1`</mark> [B**itcoin**](/knowledge-base/glossary#bitcoin) and [**Ethereum**](/knowledge-base/glossary#etherium) are considered "classic" blockchains because of their **pioneering roles** and strong focus on security. Bitcoin, as the first cryptocurrency, set the foundation for **decentralized**[ ](/knowledge-base/glossary)**digital currency**, ensuring secure transactions with its **proof-of-work system**. Ethereum followed by introducing **smart contracts** and **decentralized apps**, while enhancing security and performance by switching to **proof-of-stake**. **This combination of innovation and reliability is why Walletium works with both, providing users with secure and flexible options for managing their assets.**

<mark style="color:blue;">`#2`</mark>  **Then** [**Binance**](/knowledge-base/glossary#binance)**,** [**TON**](/knowledge-base/glossary#ton)**, and** [**Tron**](/knowledge-base/glossary#tron) **networks found their niche by offering something exceptional.** They all focus on providing **fast**, **low-cost transactions**, making them ideal for users seeking efficiency. These networks are designed to handle a **high volume of transactions** without slowing down, offering smooth performance and strong security measures. **Our wallet supports these blockchains, ensuring users have a seamless experience managing their crypto activities.**

&#x20;<mark style="color:blue;">`#3`</mark>  [**Altcoins**](/knowledge-base/glossary#altcoin) come in a wide variety, each created to meet different needs. Some focus on faster processing, others on energy efficiency, while a few prioritize decentralized finance or smart contract functionality. **However, not all altcoins meet high security or reliability standards.**&#x20;

## Cryptocurrency 101: A New Era in Finance

**The Most Complete Description of The Crypto Market That We Could Compile While Keeping it Accessible** 📊

[**Cryptocurrency**](/knowledge-base/glossary#cryptocurrency) is becoming a major force in the world of finance. In this article, we’ll explore the basic ideas and different types of cryptocurrencies that people use in everyday life. Not only are more people using cryptocurrencies, but even entire countries are getting involved. For example, **El Salvador** has decided to use [**Bitcoin**](/knowledge-base/glossary#bitcoin) as an official currency **since 2021**. Over the last 20 years, cryptocurrencies have brought one of the most significant changes to how we think about money and finance.&#x20;

Right now, the total value of all cryptocurrencies is approx $2.34 trillion, and it has increased by 2.15% in the last 24 hours (on publication day). The value of cryptocurrencies can change a lot because they are quite volatile. Prices are influenced by constant buying and selling, along with important factors like how many coins are available and news that affects the market. However, looking ahead, it’s clear that both the **growth of decentralized payments** and **the value of these assets** **will continue to rise.**

To make it easier to understand how cryptocurrencies work, we’ll focus on two key terms: **market capitalization** and **24-hour trading volume**.

1. **Market Capitalization (Market Cap)**: This is the total value of a cryptocurrency. It’s calculated by multiplying the current price of the cryptocurrency by how many coins are currently in circulation (available in the market).
2. **24-Hour Trading Volume**: This refers to the total value of a cryptocurrency that was bought or sold in the last 24 hours. It shows how actively the cryptocurrency is being traded within a short period of time.

## Bitcoin's Rise From Pizzas to Global Dominance

**BTC Market Cap is Larger Than All Other Tokens Combined** 🔥

> “Bitcoin is the beginning of something great: a currency without a government, something necessary and imperative.” - Nassim Taleb, Author & Options Trader

[**Bitcoin**](/knowledge-base/glossary#bitcoin) **is the biggest and most famous cryptocurrency.** It's often called **"digital gold"** because people trust it as a **safe place to store value**, which keeps it at the top of the market.

**Bitcoin** was the first cryptocurrency to launch, in **2009**. Since then, its technology **has never been compromised or subject to fraud**. As long as it remains secure, it will continue to be the leading cryptocurrency. The reason is simple: in this case, **the oldest equals the most reliable**. This is how **Bitcoin** remains the driving force behind the entire cryptocurrency industry **for 15 years now**.

The first commercial **Bitcoin** transaction was used to purchase pizza. On May 22, 2010, a man in Florida paid 10,000 bitcoins **(BTC)** for two pizzas. At the time, 10,000 bitcoins were worth about $40, making one bitcoin worth a little less than half a cent.  In September 2024, the same 10,000 **Bitcoins** would have a market value of over $632 million.

**The total supply of Bitcoin is capped at 21 million coins, meaning cryptocurrency miners won't be able to create any more once this limit is reached.** As of September 2024, about 19.75 million **Bitcoins** are in circulation, leaving just 1.25 million yet to be mined before reaching the maximum cap of 21 million.

***

## Ethereum Powers the Future of Decentralization&#x20;

**The Power of Ethereum: Smart Contracts and dApps** 🏆

**Ethereum** has been a **game changer** since the day it launched in **2013**. The reason behind this is the introduction of a new level of blockchain interactions—**smart contracts**. This innovation took blockchain technology beyond **Bitcoin**, enabling the execution of logic and the storage of variables directly on the blockchain, keeping it **transparent and consistent**.

**Ethereum is the second-largest cryptocurrency and the top platform** for [**decentralized applications (dApps)** ](/knowledge-base/glossary#dapp-decentralized-application) and [**DeFi**](/knowledge-base/glossary#defi). It plays a key role in [**smart contracts**](/knowledge-base/glossary#smart-contract), [**NFTs**](/knowledge-base/glossary#non-fungible-token-nft), and many **decentralized systems**, which is reflected in its large market value and high usage.&#x20;

***

{% hint style="info" %}
**Bitcoin and Ethereum's Combined Market Cap is several times bigger than all other tokens together.**&#x20;
{% endhint %}

***

## Stablecoins Have Made It to the Top 3

**USDT Trading Volume Tops All Other Cryptos Combined** 💪

**Tether (USDT)** is the **most popular** [**stablecoin**](/knowledge-base/glossary#stablecoin), tied to the value of the **US dollar**, the idea in theory being that you can trade **1 Tether** for **1 US dollar**, regardless of market conditions. As a **fiat-backed stablecoin**, it's supported by traditional currencies like **USD, EUR (Euro), MXN (Mexican Peso), or CNH (Offshore Chinese Yuan).**

It’s important to highlight the **main** **stablecoins,** such as **USDT**, **USDC**, and **BUSD.** **Tether** is the top one, but there are other options too. Traders often use **stablecoins** to protect themselves from the ups and downs of other cryptocurrencies, which helps them trade more. **Tether** aims to be a safer digital asset that doesn’t change in value as much as **Bitcoin**, making it a safer option in the crypto space.&#x20;

***

## BNB: A Reliable Coin in the Market&#x20;

**Affordable Fees and a Smart Burn Mechanism** 👩‍🚒

**It offers low transaction fees, fast speeds, and is widely accepted.** In 2021, **Binance Coin (BNB)** had a huge price jump, going **from about $38 at the beginning of the year to over $680 in May.**

**BNB is considered both** [**decentralized**](/knowledge-base/glossary#decentralization) **and** [**centralized**](/knowledge-base/glossary#centralized)**.** It operates on the **Binance Smart Chain,** allowing anyone to help process transactions. At the same time, **Binance**, the company that created **BNB**, **still has significant control over the chain’s development and key decisions.** This gives **BNB** qualities of both a decentralized system and a centralized company.

**Binance Coin** has a **burn mechanism in place**, where **Binance** burns a portion of the **BNB** tokens in circulation every quarter, reducing the total supply and potentially increasing the value of each remaining toke&#x6E;**.** **BNB** has a maximum supply of 200 million tokens.&#x20;

**With a maximum supply of 200 million tokens and a burning mechanism to reduce supply, Binance Coin (BNB) presents potential investment value and scarcity, driving its potential for increased value over time.**

{% hint style="info" %}
**BNB** is **not a completely decentralized resource** because it has **21 validators that help manage its blockchain.** So far, everything has been fair with this setup, but it’s important to know that having just a few people in charge can affect how decentralized it really is.&#x20;

This situation raises questions about how decisions are made and how transparent the process is. Therefore, it's good to keep these points in mind when thinking about **BNB**'s place in the world of cryptocurrency.<br>
{% endhint %}

## TRON’s High-Speed Blockchain Advantage

**A Promising Platform With Great Potential** 🌱<br>

**TRON, with its progressive approach and constant evolution, is a unique cryptocurrency project.** It integrates various technologies from other projects and combines them to work seamlessly together, making it stand out in the crypto space.

This network is gaining popularity because it focuses on **decentralizing** the way digital content is shared and processed, while offering **low transaction fees.** The blockchain network's ongoing development sets it apart from more static platforms like **Bitcoin,** which largely serves as a store of value, and **Ethereum**, which faces scalability challenges. **TRON**’s expansion into [**decentralized finance (DeFi)**](/knowledge-base/glossary#defi) has also boosted its popularity.&#x20;

Lastly, **scalability** is one of the main differences between **Tron** and other blockchains. Indeed, the network is able to process **2,000 transactions per second (TPS).** This is a lot more than **Bitcoin,** with around **6 TPS**, and **Ethereum** with approximately **25 TPS.**

***

## **TON** **(The Open Network)**

**Scalable and Secure System to Leverage For 1b Users** 🌐

Backed by [**Telegram**](/general-information/telegram-basics/why-telegram)**,** one of the largest messaging platforms in the world, and its founders personally, TON has risen quickly to the top, leveraging **Telegram’s** vast user base. The founders of the project are the Durov brothers, Pavel and Nikolai, who independently brought the project almost to the ready-to-launch stage.&#x20;

Its quick ascent into the top ranks can be attributed to its **strong technological infrastructure, emphasis on speed and scalability, and widespread support from a trusted platform.** **TON** is designed to be highly scalable and capable of processing millions of transactions per second thanks to its unique multi-blockchain architecture.&#x20;

**TON Blockchain's** [**time-to-finality**](/knowledge-base/glossary#time-to-finality) **is under 6 seconds.** In comparison, **Ethereum’s** is 10-15 minutes and **Solana’s** is 6.4 seconds.

{% hint style="info" %}
**The TON ecosystem and Telegram are becoming increasingly attractive to blockchain developers.**

The **first coin on the TON blockchain** that was listed on cryptocurrency exchanges was the **NOT token**. It appeared in the listings of several cryptocurrency exchanges on **May 16, 2024.** The next day, the token’s market capitalization reached **$700 million**.

The token was based on the **Notcoin game,** which was launched **as an application in the Telegram messenger**. The game quickly gained viral popularity. Thanks to successful marketing and support from Telegram’s management, the **Notcoin** game gathered more than **35 million players within four months**. The in-game coins were converted into tokens.
{% endhint %}

***

## Dogecoin's Performance

**A Bet That Hit the Jackpot** 🎰

**The Only One** [**Meme Coin** ](/knowledge-base/glossary#meme-coin)**in The Top.** One of the hottest cryptocurrencies in 2021 was dogecoin (**DOGE**), as its market capitalization grew, in part due to support from Elon Musk. **However, this cryptocurrency started out as a joke.**

The idea was that there were so many coins out there, just being introduced. So the creators of dogecoin invented the cryptocurrency around the **image of the surprised-looking Shiba Inu dog**. This was a **popular meme in 2013** when **dogecoin** was introduced.

This is a classic example of when the risk paid off, showing that in the world of crypto a bit of luck can go a long way.

{% hint style="info" %}
Famous media personalities can greatly influence trends in cryptocurrency.&#x20;

When a well-known figure promotes a **specific coin**, it often grabs attention and boosts its popularity. This media exposure might also encourage some to exploit the hype for personal gain.&#x20;

Instead of focusing on catchy names and celebrity promotions, **look at the technology and user numbers**. **Doing your research will help you make smarter choices in the crypto market.**
{% endhint %}

***

## **Cardano and Solana**&#x20;

**Exciting Projects We’re Considering For Future Integration** 💡

They both show great potential and are worth keeping an eye on to build the next-generation blockchain infrastructure. Cardano stands out by taking a careful, research-based approach to development. Instead of rushing changes, it uses expert reviews to focus on quality and security in its technology. Solana is a high-performance blockchain, which is known for processing thousands of transactions per second. Each has significant potential in terms of scalability and real-world use cases, making them projects to watch for future collaboration.

***

**These top cryptocurrencies showcase a mix of utility, stability, and popularity in the market.**&#x20;

## Stablecoins

**On a One-To-One Basis** 🤝

> “The US dollar is a great example of a fiat stablecoin, as it offers low volatility and so provides a reliable unit of money to invest in both the short term and the long term. However, the US dollar doesn’t give the user any form of control, as it is monitored by the Federal Reserve Bank and is dependent on the banking network in the US for commercial use. To get a combination of the two –full user control and reduced volatility –is an exciting prospect.”
>
> ― Ikuya Takashima, Ethereum: The Ultimate Guide to the World of Ethereum

[Stablecoins](/knowledge-base/glossary#stablecoin), such as **USDT**, **USDC**, and **BUSD**, are like digital versions of the U.S. dollar on the blockchain. You can think of them as **"Dollar Avatars"** because they represent the value of a dollar in the world of cryptocurrency. These coins are used to make it easier to move **between regular money** (called [**fiat**](/knowledge-base/glossary#fiat), like dollars) **and cryptocurrency**. This makes them a type of **"financial intermediary,"** acting as a bridge between the crypto world and real-world money.

***

## Why Are Stablecoins Important?

**Keeping It Steady When Crypto Gets Wild** 🌊

Stablecoins are important because they provide a stable value in a market where prices of other cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin, can go up and down quickly. For example, if you want to sell your Bitcoin but still stay in the crypto market, you can trade it for a stablecoin like USDT, which holds its value close to $1.

This stability is also why **USDT** (Tether) has such high daily trading volumes—it’s widely used to buy and sell other cryptocurrencies, just like people use dollars to buy goods and services.

***

## What Keeps Them Stable?

**How Stablecoins Stay Rock Solid: Peek Behind the Curtain** 🔍

Stablecoins are supposed to be **backed by reserves**, meaning for every stablecoin in circulation, there is an equivalent amount in U.S. dollars or other assets held by the company that issues the stablecoin. However, these reserves don’t always consist of just cash.

* **USDT (Tether)** is backed by a mix of assets, including U.S. Treasury bills, cash, and other short-term investments. In the past, there was controversy because not all of its reserves were in cash. Today, Tether has improved its transparency, but it’s still considered a **centralized asset** because it is controlled by a single company.
* **USDC (USD Coin)** is seen as more transparent and regulated. It is backed mainly by **U.S. Treasuries** and **cash**. USDC is considered safer by many people because it regularly publishes reports about its reserves.
* **BUSD (Binance USD)** is also backed by U.S. Treasuries and cash equivalents, and it is heavily regulated by U.S. authorities.&#x20;

***

## Centralized vs. Decentralized

**Authority or Autonomy? Exploring the Crypto Control Divide** ⚖️

Here’s the key difference: **USDT**, **USDC**, and **BUSD** are all **centralized stablecoins**, meaning they are controlled by companies that manage the reserves and have the power to freeze or block certain transactions if needed (like **blacklisting an address**). **Transactions that get blacklisted** usually involve illegal activities, such as **money laundering**, **terrorism financing**, or being linked to **sanctioned entities** as determined by government authorities or regulations. In this way, USDT remains a centralized asset while being used on a decentralized platform.

On the other hand, **decentralized** cryptocurrencies like **Bitcoin** and **Ethereum** are not controlled by any single company or government. This means they can’t be easily censored or blocked, but they are much more volatile in value.

***

Stablecoins like USDT, USDC, and BUSD are essential in the crypto world because they act as a **stable link between cryptocurrencies and real money**. They are a safer option to hold when you want to avoid the ups and downs of the crypto market. However, because they are centralized, you need to trust the companies behind them to manage their reserves properly.

In short, stablecoins are **digital dollars on the blockchain**, helping people move between crypto and fiat money easily, while staying stable and reliable in a fast-changing market.

{% hint style="success" %}
[**Walletium**](https://t.me/walletiumbot) **allows you to create as many addresses as you need and easily import existing keys from various supported blockchains.**&#x20;

This provides you with the flexibility to use stablecoins like USDT **for everyday payments, travel bookings, or virtual card transactions**, all while ensuring your assets remain **secure and accessible across multiple platforms.**

## Visualization

**Peeling Back the Layers of Crypto Trust** 🍊

**One thing is certain:** not all cryptocurrencies are on equal footing when it comes to trust and stability. We can think of them like layers of an onion, or a target, with the most reliable and established tokens at the center, and those that are riskier as we move further outward.

***

<figure><img src="/files/GfQQDmdGXYo6fni9GtHk" alt=""><figcaption><p>Token Reliability Scheme</p></figcaption></figure>

***

## The First Echelon: **BTC and ETH**

**VIP Section Where Only the Strongest Are Allowed** 👑

At the very core of our system, we have Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).&#x20;

**These two are like the foundations of the cryptocurrency world—strong, trusted, and widely accepted.** Bitcoin was the first-ever cryptocurrency and is still seen as the most reliable. Ethereum is known for its powerful blockchain technology that allows developers to create decentralized apps (dApps). These two form the backbone of the entire crypto space, which is why they are placed at the center. If you're looking for stability and security, this is where you’d start.

***

## The Second Echelon: **BNB, Ripple, Tron, and TON**

**Power Players Versatile and Popular Picks** 🔥

In the second layer, we have tokens like **Binance Coin (BNB),** **Ripple (XRP)**, **Tron (TRX)**, and **TON**. While still strong, they don’t possess the same history or stability as **Bitcoin** or **Ethereum.** These tokens are popular and widely used for various purposes: powering exchanges **(BNB)**, enabling fast payments **(Ripple)**, or supporting smart contracts and decentralized applications **(Tron and TON)**. They’re reliable and trusted by many, though they carry slightly more risk compared to **BTC** and **ETH**.

***

## The Third Echelon: **Everything Else**

**Wild West of Crypto** 🐴

Finally, on the outer layer, we have what we call **“**[**altcoins**](/knowledge-base/glossary#altcoin)**”** and **“**[**memecoins**](/knowledge-base/glossary#meme-coin)**.”** These are tokens that don’t have the same level of trust or popularity.&#x20;

In addition to altcoins and meme coins, there are also **some really promising projects, ideas, and prototypes in this category**. These projects have **a lot of potential** and **could become something big**, but it won’t be an easy journey for them. Until they manage to break through and gain more trust and popularity, they'll remain as up-and-coming newcomers in the third echelon.&#x20;

Some of them can be quite fun or interesting, like **meme-based coins**, but they’re also more unpredictable. They can go up in value quickly, but they can also drop just as fast. This is why we say these tokens are **usable, but at your own risk.** If you’re interested in these, you should be careful and make sure to do your research.

***

**The closer a token is to the center of the circle, the more reliable and stable it is.**&#x20;

**BTC** and **ETH** form the safest, most trusted part of the crypto world. As you move out to the second and third echelons, the level of risk increases.&#x20;

By using this system, you can navigate the world of cryptocurrencies more easily and make decisions that suit your risk level.

# Ethereum

Key Player in The Evolution of Blockchain 🌐

**Ethereum** has been a game changer ever since it launched in **2013**, and that's mostly because it introduced something new to blockchain technology: smart contracts. Unlike **Bitcoin**, **Ethereum’s** smart contracts let people do more than just send and receive money. They allow for the execution of rules and **the storage of information directly on the blockchain**. This makes everything **transparent and reliable**, taking blockchain technology to the next level.

***

## Overview of Ethereum's impact:

* While **Bitcoin** is mainly used as a digital currency, **Ethereum** introduced the concept of [**smart contracts**](/knowledge-base/glossary#smart-contract).
* **Smart contracts** allow people to create programmable transactions, meaning you can set rules for how the transactions work.
* This innovation paved the way for [**decentralized applications (dApps)**](/knowledge-base/glossary#dapp-decentralized-application) and [**decentralized finance (DeFi)**](/knowledge-base/glossary#defi), expanding the possibilities of what blockchain can do **beyond just sending and receiving money**.

***

## <mark style="color:blue;">`#1`</mark>  What Are Smart Contracts?

**Where Code Meets Convenience** 🔑

Smart contracts are programs that run on blockchain networks, like **Ethereum**, and automatically carry out actions when certain conditions are met. They are similar to regular contracts, but instead of involving people or lawyers, smart contracts use code to enforce the terms of the agreement.

Think of them like a vending machine: when you insert money, the machine gives you a snack. The rules are simple and automatically followed by the machine. In the same way, smart contracts follow the rules written into their code and carry out tasks once conditions are fulfilled.

***

## How Do They Enable Self-Executing Contracts?

**Auto-Pilot for Your Transactions** ✈️

**Smart contracts** are "**self-executing**," which means that they automatically perform their actions without needing someone to monitor them. The terms of the agreement (like sending money or delivering a product) are directly written into the contract’s code. When certain events happen, such as receiving payment or meeting a goal, the contract automatically completes its task.

For example, if someone pledges to deliver a product after they receive a payment of $100, the smart contract will hold the payment. Once the product is delivered, the contract automatically releases the $100 to the seller. If the product isn’t delivered, the money is refunded. No middleman is needed to enforce these rules.

***

## Why Is Immutability Important in Smart Contracts?

**Immutable Contracts – Set Once, Stay Forever** 🛡️

**Immutability** means that once a [**smart contract**](/knowledge-base/glossary#smart-contract) **is deployed** (put on the blockchain), **it cannot be changed.** This is important because it makes the contract secure. No one can go back and change the rules or manipulate the contract to benefit themselves.

For instance, if someone agrees to pay $500 for a service through a smart contract, **no one can later change** the contract to say $1,000. This gives everyone involved confidence that the agreement is fair and will stay that way.

***

## Why Is Transparency Important in Smart Contracts?

**See It to Believe It – Total Transparency**  🔍

**Smart contracts** are stored on the [**blockchain**](/knowledge-base/glossary#blockchain), which means they are open for everyone to see. This transparency ensures that everyone can trust the process, as the rules are clearly visible and can't be hidden or altered. All parties involved can verify that the contract will work exactly as it's written.

***

## Why Is Automation Important in Smart Contracts?

**Effortless Contracts – The Code Runs the Show** 🎬

Automation is one of the **biggest benefits** of smart contracts. They don’t need people to manually oversee transactions or actions. Once the conditions are met, the contract automatically performs the agreed task—like sending money, transferring ownership, or delivering a service. This **saves time**, **reduces errors**, and **eliminates the need for intermediaries** like banks or lawyers to enforce the contract.

[**Smart contracts**](/knowledge-base/glossary#smart-contract) are revolutionary because they allow for complex interactions on the blockchain **without needing third parties like lawyers, banks, or escrow services.** Here’s why they’ve transformed blockchain technology:

* **Expanded Use Cases**: Before smart contracts, blockchain mainly supported simple [**peer-to-peer**](/knowledge-base/glossary) money transfers (like with [**Bitcoin**](/knowledge-base/glossary#bitcoin)). Smart contracts have made it possible to build [**decentralized applications (dApps)**](/knowledge-base/glossary#dapp-decentralized-application), [**decentralized finance (DeFi)**](/knowledge-base/glossary#defi) systems, and more. These systems **can automatically perform tasks like trading tokens, lending money, or processing loans**—all without needing a traditional intermediary.
* **Decentralized Systems**: With **smart contracts**, systems like token exchanges or lending platforms **can operate without a central authority**. This means **people can directly interact with one another, knowing the contract will handle the process safely and fairly.**
* **Trustless Interactions**: **Smart contracts** remove the need to trust a third party to manage transactions. The **contract itself guarantees** that the terms will be met or the action won’t take place.

***

## How Do Smart Contracts Enable Decentralized Systems?

**Self-Executing Contracts – The Foundation of Decentralization** 📜

**Smart contracts** are the backbone of [**decentralized systems**](/knowledge-base/glossary#decentralization). They allow different users to interact and make agreements directly with each other. For example, on decentralized finance platforms, smart contracts handle loans and trades automatically, making it possible for users to **lend or borrow money without a bank**. These systems operate entirely through code, meaning **no one controls or manages them, and they’re available for anyone to use.**

**The bottom line: smart contracts are self-executing digital agreements that run on blockchain networks.** They’re **transparent, automated, and can't be changed once they are set**. These contracts make it possible to carry out **secure, trustless interactions** without needing middlemen like banks, lawyers, or other intermediaries. By enabling decentralized systems, smart contracts have **revolutionized how we use blockchain technology**, allowing us to create new applications like decentralized finance **(DeFi)** and token exchanges that can run **automatically and securely**.

## <mark style="color:blue;">`#2`</mark> Decentralized Applications (dApps)

**Always On and Always Open with dApps** 🔄

What Are **dApps**? [**dApps**](/knowledge-base/glossary#dapp-decentralized-application), or decentralized applications, are programs that run on blockchain networks, like **Ethereum**. Unlike traditional apps, which rely on centralized servers (like Facebook or YouTube), **dApps** operate directly on the blockchain. This makes them much harder to take down, manipulate, or interfere with.

In traditional apps, all the data is stored on company servers. If the server crashes or the company shuts down the app, users lose access. Also, companies can control and censor what happens on their app. For example, Facebook can decide who can post or what content stays up.

**Meantime, dApps work differently:**

* **No Downtime**: **dApps** run on a global network of computers (called nodes), so they don’t crash or go offline easily. Even if part of the network goes down, the rest keeps working.
* **No Middlemen**: There’s no company controlling the **dApp**. It runs automatically through **smart contracts**, which are programs on the blockchain that follow specific rules written in code.
* **Transparency**: Anyone can inspect the code of a **dApp** because it’s open-source. This builds trust, as users can see exactly how it works and confirm that nothing shady is happening behind the scenes.

***

## How dApps Differ in Architecture and Security

**Decentralized and Secure by Design** 🔒

Ethereum-based **dApps** are powered by **smart contracts**. These smart contracts are deployed on the Ethereum blockchain and are **immutable**, meaning no one can change the code after it’s released. This makes **dApps** highly secure. In contrast, traditional apps rely on central servers that can be hacked or tampered with. **dApps** are distributed across thousands of nodes, so hacking one won’t compromise the whole system.

***

## Use Cases of dApps

* **Gaming**: **dApps** like **CryptoKitties** allow users to buy, sell, and breed digital kittens, which are stored on the blockchain as [**NFTs**](/knowledge-base/glossary#non-fungible-token-nft). This lets players truly own their in-game assets and trade them freely.
* **Finance (DeFi)**: Platforms like **Aave** and [**Uniswap**](/knowledge-base/glossary#uniswap-platform) are part of **decentralized finance (DeFi)**. These dApps allow users to lend, borrow, and trade cryptocurrencies without needing a bank or traditional exchange. Smart contracts handle everything automatically, making the process quick and secure.
* **Governance**: Some **dApps** enable decentralized governance, allowing users to vote on decisions for a project or platform. Since the votes are recorded on the blockchain, they’re transparent and tamper-proof.
* **Social Networks**: Decentralized social networks allow users to share content without worrying about censorship. Since these **dApps** don’t rely on a central authority, they provide more freedom and privacy.

***

## Popular dApps That Are Changing Industries

## <mark style="color:blue;">`#4`</mark> Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)

**A New Era of Digital Ownership Enabled by NFTs** 💻

> "What I will say about crypto and NFTs, in general, is I really love the idea of creators owning their media and owning their content…" ― Jack Conte, CEO of Patreon

**NFTs**, or **non-fungible tokens**, are a new way of owning unique digital items like art, music, and in-game assets. **Ethereum** played a key role in their rise, as it provided the technology needed to create and trade these tokens. Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies like **Bitcoin,** **NFTs** are **non-fungible**, meaning each one is unique and cannot be replaced by something else. This idea of digital uniqueness has completely changed how we view and manage digital ownership.

***

## Ethereum's Role and the ERC-721 Token Standard

**Powering Unique Digital Assets** 🔗

The **Ethereum** blockchain is where most **NFTs** are created, thanks to the [**ERC-721** ](/knowledge-base/glossary#erc-20-and-erc-721)token standard. This standard sets the rules for how **NFTs** are made and traded, ensuring each token is one-of-a-kind. It’s similar to how rare baseball cards or art pieces work in the physical world—each one is unique, and its ownership is tracked. This technology allows digital assets to have value in the same way real-world collectibles or artworks do.

***

## Use Cases of NFTs

* **Digital Art**: Artists now use **NFTs** to sell digital artwork that can be owned by a specific person. Even though anyone can still view the image online, the buyer owns the original. For example, digital artist **Beeple** sold a digital collage for $69 million, showing how **NFTs** have shaken up the art world.
* **Collectibles**: Some of the earliest uses of **NFTs** were in creating digital collectibles. A good example is **CryptoKitties**, where users buy, breed, and trade virtual cats, each represented by a unique **NFT.**
* **Gaming Assets**: **NFTs** are also used in games to represent special items like weapons, characters, or skins. These in-game assets can be bought, sold, or traded outside the game itself. Games like **Axie Infinity** allow players to own, trade, and battle with **NFT** creatures, providing real value to digital game items.

The [**ERC-721**](/knowledge-base/glossary#erc-20-and-erc-721) standard ensures each **NFT** is unique, and this has opened up new opportunities in areas like digital art, gaming, and collectibles. Whether it's high-profile art auctions or in-game assets, **NFTs** are reshaping industries and bringing a new level of value to digital items.

***

## <mark style="color:blue;">`#5`</mark> Ethereum’s Consensus Mechanism and Evolution

**Understanding Ethereum’s Original System** ⚙️<br>

Ethereum started with a system called [**Proof of Work (PoW)**](/knowledge-base/glossary#proof-of-work-pow). In this system, powerful computers called miners solve complex math problems to validate transactions and add them to the blockchain. While **PoW** was secure, it used a lot of energy. This raised concerns about its environmental impact, as miners needed large amounts of electricity to keep their computers running.

***

## **The Shift to Proof of Stake**

**Powering Up Security Through Decentralization** 🔐<br>

To address these challenges, **Ethereum** is transitioning to a new system called [**Proof of Stake (PoS)**](/knowledge-base/glossary#proof-of-stake-pos) with **Ethereum 2.0**. Instead of miners solving math problems, **PoS** allows people to validate transactions based on how many coins they hold. This means they "stake" their coins, locking them up for a period of time. This change is beneficial for several reasons:

* **Scalability**: **PoS** can handle more transactions at once, which helps reduce wait times for processing.
* **Energy Efficiency**: **PoS** uses far less energy than **PoW** because it doesn’t require massive amounts of computing power.
* **Security**: **PoS** also enhances security, as the network becomes more decentralized and harder to attack.

***

## **Scalability Challenges in the Ethereum Ecosystem**

**Finding Solutions to Scalability Hurdles** 🛠️

Despite the benefits of moving to [**POS**](/knowledge-base/glossary#proof-of-stake-pos), **Ethereum** still faces **scalability challenges**. This means that when many people use the network at once, it can get congested. This congestion leads to **high gas fees**, which are the costs users pay to process transactions. When the network is busy, these fees can skyrocket, making it expensive for people to use **Ethereum**.

***

## **Upcoming Solutions**

* **Layer 2 Scaling**: This involves creating additional networks on top of the main **Ethereum** blockchain to handle transactions. These secondary layers can process transactions faster and at a lower cost.
* **Sharding**: This method splits the **Ethereum** database into smaller parts, or "shards," allowing the network to process multiple transactions simultaneously. This helps reduce congestion.
* **Rollups**: Rollups bundle multiple transactions together into one single transaction, which can then be processed on the main blockchain. This reduces the number of transactions that need to be recorded, helping to lower gas fees.

***

**The bottom line:**  **Ethereum** is evolving from its original **Proof of Work** system to a more efficient **Proof of Stake** model with **Ethereum 2.0**. This shift aims to improve scalability, reduce energy consumption, and enhance security. By addressing the challenges of high gas fees and network congestion, upcoming solutions like Layer 2 scaling, sharding, and rollups will help ensure that **Ethereum** remains a leading platform for decentralized applications and financial services.

This is important because **Ethereum’s** blockchain supports [**smart contracts**](/knowledge-base/glossary#smart-contract) and [**decentralized applications (dApps)**](/knowledge-base/glossary#dapp-decentralized-application), which allow stablecoins to be used in various ways.

By using stablecoins on **Ethereum**, people can trade, lend, or borrow money without worrying about price changes. This makes **stablecoins a key bridge** between traditional finance (like regular banks) and decentralized finance (**DeFi**). In this way, stablecoins are driving the adoption of cryptocurrencies by letting people transact with a digital currency that behaves like traditional money—offering the **stability of fiat** currencies but with the benefits of blockchain technology.

***

## The Impact on the Global Economy

* **Payments**: Stablecoins combine the **speed of blockchain** with the stability of fiat currencies, allowing for faster, more efficient payments. Whether paying for goods and services or sending money to friends, stablecoin transactions happen quickly, without the delays of traditional banking systems.
* **Remittances**: Many people who work in one country send money home to their families in another. Stablecoins make **remittances** cheaper and faster because they remove the need for expensive middlemen like money transfer companies. This allows workers to send more money home, almost instantly.
* **Cross-Border Transfers**: Stablecoins are especially useful for **cross-border payments**. Traditional bank transfers between countries can take days and involve high fees. With stablecoins, money can be sent across borders in minutes, with much lower costs. This makes them ideal for international businesses and individuals alike.

Two Wallet Types, One Important Decision 🔐

## What is a Cryptocurrency Wallet?

**Your Crypto Cookie Jar** 💰

A cryptocurrency wallet is a **software or hardware tool for storing, sending, and receiving digital** **currencies** like [**Bitcoin**](/knowledge-base/glossary#bitcoin) and [**Ethereum**](/knowledge-base/glossary#etherium). Unlike physical money, cryptocurrencies only exist as records on the [**blockchain**](/knowledge-base/glossary#blockchain), and wallets help you **manage your** [**digital assets**.](/knowledge-base/glossary#asset) Crypto wallets don't store actual coins but rather **interact** with the blockchain, allowing you to **manage your digital assets securely**. They offer a convenient, encrypted interface for monitoring balances and making transactions on [**decentralized** ](/knowledge-base/glossary#decentralization)networks.

***

## How Do Crypto Wallets Work?

**Easy Access, Secure Control** 🕹️

Think of a crypto wallet as a safe where you store your [**private**](/knowledge-base/glossary#private-key) and [**public keys**](/knowledge-base/glossary#public-key). These keys allow you to send and receive funds, with the **private key** acting like your **secret password**, while the **public key** functions like **your account number**.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Public Key" %}
**Definition**: Your public key is like a bank account number. It’s a unique string of letters and numbers used to receive funds or data. It functions as an address on the blockchain or in a cryptocurrency wallet.

**Visibility**: Designed to be shared openly. You can give out your public key without compromising the security of your wallet. It’s safe to share, much like providing your email address or phone number for contact purposes.

**Purpose**: The public key ensures that transactions are directed to the correct recipient. Others use your public key to send you funds or verify your identity on the blockchain.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Private Key" %}
**Definition**: Your private key is like a secure PIN or password for your bank account. It is a confidential string of characters used to authorize transactions and access your digital assets. The private key is crucial for proving ownership of the assets in your wallet.

**Visibility**: Must be kept secret and protected at all costs. Sharing your private key compromises the security of your funds and wallet. It’s essential to keep it confidential, similar to how you would protect your PIN or password.

**Purpose**: The private key is used to sign transactions and verify their authenticity. It unlocks your wallet and allows you to manage or transfer your funds. Without the private key, you cannot access or control the assets associated with your public key.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

# Virtual Cards

A Digital Shield For Online Operations 🛡️

## What is a Virtual Credit Card?

**All The Security, None of The Plastic** 💳

A virtual credit card is a **digital card** issued by financial institutions, including banks, and fintech companies. Unlike physical cards, virtual cards have a **unique number**, **expiration date**, and [**CVV**](/knowledge-base/glossary#cvv), allowing secure online purchases **without exposing real credit card information.** You can own as many virtual cards as your financial institution allows.

## Benefits of a Virtual Credit Card

**Security Made Simple** ✨

* **Separate Card Number:** Safeguard your real card details.
* **Lower Credit Limit:** Minimize risk for fraud.
* **Online Purchase Focused:** Perfect for commercial transactions.
* **Single-use Options:** Cards expire after one use, adding security.

## Online Operations Made Smarter

**Bills or Services,  Stay Secure** 🔐

Virtual credit cards are ideal for people who **frequently shop online**, **subscribe to services**, or **make international payments**. Since they are disposable or have adjustable limits, they **minimize the risk of fraud or misuse.**

{% hint style="info" %}
**Important Reminders :**

Avoid sharing [**OTP**](/knowledge-base/glossary) or [**CVV**](/knowledge-base/glossary) details.

# Glossary

The Language of Crypto: Time to Learn the Basics 📚

## # A&#x20;

<details>

<summary><strong>Asset</strong></summary>

In a crypto wallet, an **asset is basically anything digital—like cryptocurrencies or tokens—that has value and can be used, traded, or transferred.** It represents **ownership or rights over something digital, and you can trade these assets for regular currencies like the dollar.**&#x20;

They use blockchain technology, making them **secure and easy to manage**, letting you store or move your digital value with confidence.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Address</strong></summary>

Much like a home address in the real world or a web address online, a **blockchain address is a unique string of text that helps identify a specific place or user on the blockchain.**&#x20;

It's essentially the **location of a particular wallet**, and it's what you **use to send or receive digital assets**. Just like giving someone your home address to send mail, you share your blockchain address when you want to receive crypto or other digital assets.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Altcoin</strong></summary>

Altcoins are **cryptocurrencies developed as alternatives** to Bitcoin and, in some cases, Ethereum. While they aim to improve on Bitcoin's limitations, they face notable insecurities. Many altcoins suffer from **low liquidity, smaller market caps, and unclear use cases, making them vulnerable to price volatility and scams.**&#x20;

Additionally, some altcoins lose developer support, leading to abandonment and financial losses for investors. With a wide variety available, it's crucial to thoroughly research each altcoin before investing to avoid these risks.&#x20;

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Application Programming Interface (API)</strong></summary>

An API (Application Programming Interface) is a **tool that allows different software applications to easily share information and interact**, even if they are built using different technologies.&#x20;

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Blockchain</strong></summary>

A blockchain is a **secure, digital record that keeps growing by adding blocks of data, all linked together using cryptography.** It was first created in the 1990s to protect digital documents from being tampered with, and later became **the foundation for Bitcoin, the first decentralized cryptocurrency.**&#x20;

**Blockchain works through a network of computers that verify and record transactions, making it safe from fraud and censorship.** While it's mostly known for cryptocurrencies, blockchain can also be used in other areas like healthcare and supply chains to keep data secure and lower costs.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Binance Smart Chain (BSC)</strong></summary>

Binance Smart Chain (BSC) is a blockchain platform created by Binance, designed for running smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps). It's similar to Ethereum but aims to be faster and cheaper to use by lowering transaction fees and increasing speed.&#x20;

BSC allows developers to build and users to interact with decentralized finance (DeFi) projects, tokens, and more, making it a popular choice for blockchain-based activities.

</details>

## # C

<details>

<summary><strong>Cold storage</strong></summary>

Cold storage **refers to storing your cryptocurrency's private keys offline**, making it much more secure from hacking or online threats.&#x20;

In the context of cold crypto wallets or addresses, **these methods remove the keys from any internet-connected device**, ensuring high security, even though they might be a bit less convenient to access.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Coin</strong></summary>

**A cryptocurrency coin is a digital currency that runs on its own blockchain, like Bitcoin or Litecoin,** and is mainly used as a medium of exchange or store of value. **Unlike tokens**, which serve specific functions within platforms, **coins are used for transactions within their own network.**&#x20;

**Coins can be traded for other cryptocurrencies,** and many projects start by raising funds through tokens, which can later be swapped for native coins when their blockchain is built.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Cryptocurrency</strong></summary>

A cryptocurrency is a **digital currency secured by cryptography, typically used for peer-to-peer transactions** without the need for intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency, was created in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto to enable decentralized, direct digital payments.&#x20;

Most cryptocurrencies operate **on decentralized networks maintained by distributed computers (nodes) and use blockchain technology to securely record all transactions**. The rules governing each cryptocurrency are defined by its underlying protocol, which ensures the system runs securely and efficiently.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Crypto Protocol</strong></summary>

A crypto protocol is a **set of rules that governs how participants interact in a decentralized network,** using cryptography to secure transactions. These **protocols are open-source and decentralized,** meaning no single authority controls the network, and participants validate transactions collectively.&#x20;

**An example is Bitcoin,** where the Proof of Work consensus algorithm allows users to transfer money without needing a bank. Crypto protocols are key to **decentralized finance (DeFi),** which aims to create **financial systems that operate independently** of traditional banks and institutions.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Chainlink platform</strong></summary>

Chainlink is a **decentralized platform that connects smart contracts with real-world data** by using "oracles." It allows blockchain-based applications to access external information, like stock prices or weather data, which is crucial for making smart contracts more useful.&#x20;

**Chainlink helps ensure the data provided is secure and reliable**, enabling smart contracts to interact with the outside world in a trustworthy way.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Centralized</strong></summary>

Centralization **refers to a system where decision-making is concentrated in one central authority,** while **decentralization distributes decision-making across multiple points without a central power.** Centralized systems offer clear, fast decisions and defined roles but may suffer from miscommunication, corruption, and exclusion of local expertise.&#x20;

Bitcoin introduced the possibility of a **decentralized network that can reach consensus without these drawbacks, sparking more debate about the benefits of decentralized versus centralized systems.**

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Custody</strong></summary>

In finance, custody **refers to an institution holding assets on behalf of a client to protect them from theft or loss, typically for a fee**. In cryptocurrency, **custodial solutions involve a third party managing users' private keys and funds**, which can be convenient but comes with risks if the custodian is compromised.&#x20;

While custodians play an important role in managing and securing assets, users should consider cold storage for larger amounts of funds that aren't actively in use.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>CVV</strong></summary>

A CVV (Card Verification Value) is a **three- or four-digit security code found on credit or debit cards, usually on the back.** It's used to **verify** that the person making an online or phone purchase physically has the card, adding an extra layer of protection against fraud.&#x20;

**The CVV helps ensure secure transactions by preventing unauthorized use of card numbers alone.**

</details>

## # D

<details>

<summary><strong>DeFi</strong></summary>

DeFi, or decentralized finance, is a **system that allows people to access financial services like lending, borrowing, and trading without relying on traditional banks or intermediaries.** It uses **blockchain technology and smart contracts to create open**, transparent, and accessible financial products.&#x20;

With DeFi, users maintain **control of their assets and can participate in a global financial network directly**, all while reducing the need for third parties. This opens up financial opportunities to anyone with an internet connection.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Daemon</strong></summary>

A process **operating in the background** waiting for a specific event or condition in order to be activated.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Diversification</strong></summary>

Diversification in financial markets means **spreading investments across different assets,** such as stocks, bonds, or cryptocurrencies, to reduce risk. **The goal is to minimize losses** by ensuring that positive returns from some assets can offset negative returns from others.&#x20;

A diversified portfolio tends to be **more stable over time**, especially when it includes assets with low or negative correlations. While diversification can reduce the risk of losing everything, it also limits the potential for large gains from any single investment.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Decentralization</strong></summary>

In the crypto world, decentralization **means that control and decision-making are spread across a network of users rather than being held by a single central authority**, like a bank or government.&#x20;

This allows cryptocurrencies to **operate independently, with transactions verified by a network of computers (nodes) instead of one controlling entity.** Decentralization enhances security, reduces censorship, and allows for more transparent systems.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>DApp (Decentralized Application)</strong></summary>

A dApp (Decentralized Application) is a **type of software** that operates on a decentralized network, typically using blockchain technology and smart contracts.&#x20;

Unlike traditional apps, dApps **run without centralized control**, making them more transparent, secure, and resistant to censorship. These applications often enable **peer-to-peer interactions** and are used in various sectors, including finance, gaming, and social platforms.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Digital wallet</strong> </summary>

A digital wallet is a s**oftware or app that stores payment information, like credit card details or cryptocurrencies, allowing users to make transactions** online or in stores. It securely holds digital currencies or tokens and can be used to **send, receive, or manage funds.**&#x20;

# Crypto VS Fiat

A Detailed Look at Traditional vs. Digital Currencies 🧐

> “I’ve long said there’s too much competition in crypto projects, while the real competition is with traditional finance." — Guy Benartzi of Bancor

Over the past few years, cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies have become **hot topics** in financial discussions. While both serve as a medium of exchange, there are **significant differences** in how they function, their value, and how they are controlled. Below is a detailed analysis of both types of currencies, highlighting key points and clarifying common questions about them.

## What is Fiat Currency?

**The Cash We All Rely On** 💰

Fiat currency is the **traditional money** we use in our daily transactions, such as the **US dollar, euro, or pound**. The term "[**fiat**](/knowledge-base/glossary#fiat)" comes from Latin, meaning "**let it be done,**" signifying that fiat money has value because a government decrees it so. It is not backed by a physical commodity like gold but rather the trust and credit of the economy that issues it. Central banks and governments control fiat currency, making decisions about its supply through mechanisms like printing more money or adjusting interest rates.

## What is Cryptocurrency?

**Limited Supply, Unlimited Possibilities** 🌍

Cryptocurrency is a digital form of money that operates independently of banks or governments. It relies on [**peer-to-peer transactions**](/knowledge-base/glossary#peer-to-peer-p2p), allowing people to send and receive payments directly without the need for a middleman. Instead of physical coins or cash, these transactions are recorded on a public ledger called a [**blockchain**](/knowledge-base/glossary#blockchain), and stored in [**digital wallets**](/knowledge-base/glossary#digital-wallet).&#x20;

Cryptocurrencies like [**Bitcoin**](/knowledge-base/glossary#bitcoin) and [**Ethereum**](/knowledge-base/glossary#etherium) are built on blockchain technology, offering a secure and transparent way to track transactions. With a limited supply, their value is determined by market demand, not government regulations.

## The Future of Money: Will Crypto Replace Fiat?

**Redefining Currency for the Modern World** 🌐

Many believe that cryptocurrencies could one day replace fiat currencies, especially in economies where trust in government-issued money is low. Countries like El Salvador have already made Bitcoin legal tender, but for most of the world, fiat currency remains dominant.

While cryptocurrency adoption grows, it still faces challenges like scalability, regulation, and volatility. Experts believe it may not fully replace fiat anytime soon but could coexist, offering an alternative for those seeking decentralized financial systems.

***

## ✅ The bottom line:&#x20;

Fiat and cryptocurrencies are both ways to exchange value, but they work differently. Fiat is government-backed and stable, though it can face inflation. Cryptocurrencies are decentralized, offer more privacy, but can be more volatile. With these differences in mind, you can now make your own informed decision.

Now that you're familiar with cryptocurrency, let’s dive into the [different types](/knowledge-base/different-types-crypto) that exist ➡️

They derive value from these assets and offer rights like dividends or voting power.&#x20;

Security tokens must comply with financial regulations.

</details>

***

<details>

<summary>Utility Tokens</summary>

Utility tokens are used to **access specific products or services.**&#x20;

Think of them like vouchers or coupons that give you a right to use a platform or service.&#x20;

For example, a token might allow you to use cloud storage on a particular network.

</details>

***

<details>

<summary>Payment Tokens</summary>

Instead, they serve as **proof of ownership** for digital collectibles or virtual goods.

</details>

***

<details>

<summary>DeFi Tokens (Decentralized Finance)</summary>

DeFi tokens support **decentralized financial services** like lending, borrowing, or trading without relying on traditional financial institutions.&#x20;

Platforms like [Uniswap](/knowledge-base/glossary#uniswap-platform) and [Chainlink ](/knowledge-base/glossary#chainlink-platform)operate on DeFi tokens, which allow users to access financial services globally.

</details>

***

<details>

<summary>Stablecoins</summary>

Stablecoins aim to maintain a steady value by being **tied to real-world assets** like the U.S. dollar or commodities like gold.&#x20;

They reduce volatility, making them practical for day-to-day transactions or trading. Examples include [Tether (USDT) ](/knowledge-base/glossary#usdt)and [USD Coin (USDC).](/knowledge-base/glossary#usd-coin-usdc)

</details>

***

<details>

<summary>Asset-Backed Tokens</summary>

These tokens are **linked to tangible assets** such as oil, gold, or real estate.&#x20;

By tokenizing real-world assets, they allow for **easier trading and transfer** of ownership without needing to handle the physical item.

</details>

***

<details>

<summary>Privacy Tokens</summary>

Privacy tokens, like [Monero](/knowledge-base/glossary#monero), prioritize anonymity in transactions.&#x20;

They provide added security and privacy by **hiding transaction details**, making them popular for users who want greater control over their financial data.

</details>

## **Why So Many Types of Cryptocurrency?**

**10,000+ Cryptos Shaping the Future!** 🔥

[Blockchain](/knowledge-base/glossary#blockchain) technology is open to developers, allowing anyone with the necessary skills to create new coins or tokens.

# Terms and Conditions

## Terms of Service for Mini Apps <a href="#dev_page_title" id="dev_page_title"></a>

Mini Apps (“**MA**”) on Telegram allow you to connect to third-party Service Providers (“**SP**”) in their mini app environment and access services or purchase goods directly from such Service Providers using Telegram apps.

These Terms of Service for Mini Apps (“**MA Terms**”) govern your usage of the Telegram Mini App Feature (“**MAF**”) provided by Telegram Messenger Inc. (“**Telegram**”) and constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Telegram. For the purposes of these terms, ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’ refers to Telegram, and ‘you’ refers to you, the user of the MAF.

When you connect to a Mini App (“MA”), you may be further subject to its SP terms as agreed between you and the SP. Such terms are to be considered in addition to this document.

## 1. Acceptance of MA Terms

By using the MAF, you agree that you have read in full, understood and accepted to be legally bound by the terms contained herein, in addition to [Telegram’s Terms of Service](https://telegram.org/tos), [Telegram’s Privacy Policy](https://telegram.org/privacy) and the respective Terms of Service of each MA you access, if any. All of the aforementioned terms may be amended from time to time without notice. Should you decide to purchase goods through a MA, you may further be subject to the Terms of Service of the provider that will process your payment, as agreed between you and the payment provider.

For clarity, your continued access to and use of MAF shall constitute your acceptance of these MA Terms and all other terms that are incorporated herein, including any updates or modifications to them from time to time.

## 2. Mini Apps

All products and services offered via MAF are offered and managed by third-party SP. These SP are also responsible for any continued operation and maintenance for their MA on the Telegram platform. We are not affiliated with any of these SP, and they operate independently of Telegram. By using MAF on the Telegram platform, you acknowledge and agree that:

* You are accessing a third-party service directly from its SP;
* Telegram only provides SP with access to third-party payment providers via its Payment Platform, and does not itself process payments or hold funds;
* SP may have additional terms as a part of their products or services with which you must comply;
* You fully acknowledge and explicitly assume any and all risks related to transactions with SP, and agree that we shall not be liable for any risks or adverse consequences arising from such transactions.

The individual SP that operate MA are solely responsible for the content, products, goods, or services made available to you directly via their respective MA – including but not limited to quality, performance and availability. You should contact the respective SP directly with any queries, and any disputes shall be resolved directly with the respective SP.

Cancellations or refunds for purchases from SP via MAF are subject to the applicable terms of the specific SP from which the purchase was made. Telegram has no role in processing payments and governing refund or cancellation charges. Any disputes must be resolved by contacting the SP directly, who is responsible for resolving the dispute.

## 3. Payments

Telegram does not process payments. Instead, payments are processed by third-party payment providers, which are chosen by the SP for their MA, at the SP’s sole discretion, from the list of available payment providers.

**3.1. Payment Information**

Telegram does not store your credit card details for purchases made via MAF. Such data is handled solely by third-party payment providers. See our Privacy Policy for more details.

**3.2. Payment-Related Disputes**

Payments conducted or initiated through a MA are processed by a third-party payment provider, as agreed between you, the SP and the payment provider, which at times may coincide.

Telegram does not handle, manage, oversee, verify or provide any sort of warranty over such transactions. Consequently, any disputes, claims, losses, misunderstandings, technical errors, or issues of any kind (both accidental and allegedly intentional) related to payments or transactions must be directed towards the respective payment provideror SP. Telegram bears no responsibility whatsoever and will not be a party to any payment-related disputes or discussions, nor is it liable for any losses or damages the parties involved may incur.

## 4. Privacy

**4.1. Data We Share**

When you interact with a MA, it will automatically acquire your IP address. Additionally, depending on which MA you use and how it was opened, we may also share some basic data with it, like your Telegram user id, public Telegram name, username and profile picture, an IETF language tag of your client language, your premium subscription status and some color parameters related to your in-app theme.

MA launched from the attachment menu in private chats will also receive similar information about your chat partner. MA launched from the attachment menu in channels and group chats may also receive the ID, type, title, username and photo of the chat in which they were opened.

By utilizing the MAF, you expressly acknowledge and understand that such data will be shared with the SP that operates the MA you choose to access. Further, you agree not to hold us liable for any mismanagement, misuse, or mishandling of this data by the SP, under any circumstances.

**4.2. Data You Share**

You may also choose to provide certain data to the MA, including but not limited to your phone number, text, media or locations in order to facilitate the service offered by its SP, or for any other reason as determined solely by you. By providing this data to the MA, you are in turn providing it to the SP, which is responsible for handling and storing any data provided to it.

Any processing or collection of data by the SP via MAF is subject to any applicable terms between you and the SP. After transmitting it, Telegram does not have any access to or control over data shared between users and SP via MAF.

**5.3. Indemnity**

You accept and agree to grant Telegram and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, contractors and employees absolute indemnity and to hold them harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, proceedings, obligations, investigations, demands, suits, expenses, costs and damages (including but not limited to legal fees, fines or penalties imposed by any authorities or regulatory institutions) arising from, related to, or in any way incurred as a result of your use of, conduct in connection with, your purchase, receipt of and access to services and goods from the SP via the MAF.

We may, at our sole and absolute discretion and without liability, at any time and without notice, modify MAF in any way we deem necessary. We hold no liability for how these changes may affect access to and services provided by MA.
