Imagine having a safety box filled with money, and you have ten electronic keys. Each key can open the safety box and is linked to its screen, displaying the value of the contents of the safety box.
The safety box in this example symbolizes the blockchain, and the keys represent the Private Key, which usually consists of 12 words. The screen that shows the value of what the safety box contains is the cryptocurrency wallet application.
Based on the previous example, the cryptocurrencies you own are not stored in the wallet, but rather in the blockchain. The wallet is like a smart screen that helps you monitor the value of your cryptocurrencies and also provides options for buying, selling, and exchanging cryptocurrencies, as well as for sending and receiving them.
Can the private key be used in a different wallet app than where it was initially created?
When you download a cryptocurrency wallet app, you will be presented with the options to either "Create a new wallet" or "Import wallet". If you choose the "Import wallet" option and enter the private key (password), you will be able to access a wallet that you have previously created in a cryptocurrency wallet app.
Example: You have created a wallet in the Trust Wallet application. This same wallet can be accessed in the Zerion application or the Binance Web3 application, allowing you to benefit from the features provided by the other applications.
After clicking the (+) sign, you can import the crypto wallet into the Binance platform.
Will opening the wallet in a new app cause the wallet to disappear from the previous app?
No, you can access your crypto using any advanced crypto wallet app, and all crypto wallet apps will work together without any issues.
What do I benefit from opening wallets in other applications?
Each wallet has its advantages and some potential disadvantages, which depend on how you use the wallet. For example, consider Trust Wallet or MetaMask. The value of AMAL will not be readily available until it is listed on multiple platforms. If tracking the value of AMAL is important to you, we recommend using the Zerion app to easily monitor the AMAL value and the USDC rewards you have earned. If you have an account on the Binance platform and want to buy or sell easily, opening a wallet in the Binance application would be a suitable option. This will also allow you to accurately track the AMAL value and conveniently transfer and receive cryptocurrencies directly from the platform.
It is important for you to know that you are the decision maker, and once you enter the private key (password), you will have access to all advanced wallet applications. You are not restricted to the wallet you used for the first time.
In conclusion, it is crucial to keep the private key in a secure location and refrain from sharing it with anyone for any reason. No one should have access to the private key to assist you. If you encounter any difficulties, please do not hesitate to contact us as we are always ready to help.
