The Investors Centre is your gateway to the blockchain. It identifies you to the blockchain network, stores your access credentials, and proves your ownership of crypto assets through its public and private keys.

Wallets can be classified as hot (software and web-based) and cold (hardware devices). Cold wallets are stored offline, making them immune to online hacking attacks. They typically require a PIN code to unlock, further reducing the risk of unauthorized access by cyber attackers.

Crypto wallets are a core component of the digital economy and provide users with unprecedented control over their financial assets.

While many use cases are available, some highlights include:

1. Cryptocurrency payments: Facilitating fast and cost-effective international money transfers.

2. Staking: Earning rewards by participating in blockchain networks.

3. Investment management: Investing in cryptocurrencies, including tokenized real-world assets.

4. Decentralized finance participation: Borrowing, lending, and yield farming.
