A wallet is the technical term for an account that holds tokenized assets. Think of it like a bank account number, but for shares on the blockchain.

​
How Wallets Work

Every wallet has two components: Account address: A public identifier (like “0x742d35Cc…”) that others can see and use to send shares to you. Similar to an IBAN that you share with others. Access credentials: Private authentication that proves ownership and authorizes transfers. Similar to your bank login credentials – whoever controls these controls the assets. Instead of username and password, these wallets are secured with a private cryptographic key.

What You Need to Know

You likely don’t need to understand the technical details of how wallets work. Your technical team handles wallet integration together with us. Wallets are relevant for issuing bearer shares to an account. These are the tokenized assets that will be settled on the blockchain to an account’s wallet. There are two custodial models for bearer shares, which you can learn about more here.
