Digital Wallet technology is so much bigger than most realise. Digital wallets, are becoming a complete and standalone web experience and will be a replacement for the web browser in the very near future. When you consider a peer to peer, permissionless, financial system as the foundation for a new web browser infrastructure, you start to realise the massive security and privacy benefits for the end user. In my opinion, Digital wallet technology is something people should be paying very close attention to. In previous Q&A sessions we’ve looked at the simplest ways to buy, exchange and swap Decred. And the best coins to have if you want to move in and out of Decred from fiat currencies or other cryptocurrencies. Here, we’ll look specifically at the best ways to hold your Decred and experience all the project has to offer. We will also consider some reasons why you might choose one wallet over another. Decred is Money Evolved. By combining battle tested Proof-of-Work with an innovative take on Proof-of-Stake that places coin holders in charge of shaping the future, Decred is able to adapt to challenges and innovate at a rapid pace. You acquire influence in Decred by putting “skin in the game”.
