About Us

Crypto Wallet Basics explains how crypto wallets hold keys, how backups work, and how a transfer is signed. The guides are written for someone setting up a wallet for the first time.

What this site is

It is a reading site. Articles cover self-custody, exchange accounts, seed phrases, hardware signing, fees, and common mistakes. They are general explanations, not instructions for a particular product and not a recommendation to buy or sell any asset.

What this site is not

We do not custody coins, operate an exchange, or provide a wallet download. We cannot recover a lost seed phrase, reverse a confirmed payment, or access an account on another company’s service.

Who writes the guides

Guides are published by the Crypto Wallet Basics editorial team. They describe widely used wallet behavior. Software changes, so check the wallet maker’s own screens before you rely on a step.
