What is a Polygon wallet
So what is a Polygon wallet and why do you need one?
A Polygon wallet is a digital wallet specifically designed for the Polygon network, enabling users to store, send, and receive MATIC, the native cryptocurrency of Polygon, as well as other tokens issued on this network. It's necessary for interacting with the Polygon blockchain.
There are plenty of wallets to choose from: it can be a hardware device, an online service or an app. The basic principle, however, is the same, and an online Polygon wallet does the exact same thing as a hardware wallet. Online custodial wallets are inherently more risky and we encourage our users to read our article outlining these risks.
Every MATIC wallet has a unique public address. It can be freely shared: if someone wants to send you Polygon, this is the address you'll give them. It also has a secret private key, which must be kept safe; this guarantees a secure Polygon wallet.
If all wallets function similarly, what criteria should you use to select a suitable wallet for MATIC? Pick the one that works for you. Our own Paybis wallet is a secure, accessible and free MATIC wallet you can get in a few clicks. Read on to see how you can get one!
