# Create and connect a wallet

A cryptocurrency wallet (or crypto wallet for short) is a tool - software or hardware - that allows you to allows you to store, send, and receive cryptocurrencies like ONOs and others.

A crypto wallet serves the following purposes:

* **Manages your public keys and addresses** – used to receive funds from others.
* **Lets you send transactions** – authorizing the movement of your crypto using your private key.
