A Hedera wallet is a tool for managing private keys that control your Hedera (HBAR) address. Although it doesn’t store Hedera itself—your cryptocurrency lives on the blockchain—it serves to generate and safeguard private keys, allowing you to manage your Hedera accounts. Essentially, a Hedera wallet is your gateway to storing, sending, receiving, and managing HBAR.
How does a Hedera wallet work?

Within a Tangem Wallet, these private keys are securely generated and stored in its chip.
