Each Bitcoin is essentially a computer file stored in a 'digital wallet' app on a smartphone or computer. People can send Bitcoin (or part of one) to your digital wallet, and you can send Bitcoin to others. Every single transaction is recorded in a public list called the blockchain.

A crypto wallet is a necessary component for holding and transacting crypto coins. To send or receive any type of coin, you’ll need a secure wallet specifically designed for cryptocurrency. These specialized wallets:

• Keep track of coin ownership.
• Generate the public addresses you’ll need for transactions.
• Do not literally hold your coins like a traditional wallet; instead, your Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, etc., all exist on the blockchain — your crypto wallet simply provides access to them.

We recommend the following easy-to-use wallets. You'll need to bring this wallet (or a printed QR code) with you to the machine.

Caution: Ensure that the wallet supports your cryptocurrency. If the wallet is not compatible, you will lose your transaction amount.

• Trust Wallet Available for Android, iOS, and any Chromium browser
• Blue Wallet Available for Android and iOS
• Exodus Available for Android, iOS, and any Chromium browser
