Web3 Wallet Guide

What is a Web3 Wallet?

A Web3 wallet is your key to the decentralized internet — it holds your crypto and proves your digital identity, with no bank in the middle. Meton Wallet keeps that layer deliberately minimal: hold 20+ blockchains, with every transfer screened by Security Gate.

The Basics

Your Keys to the Decentralized Web

Unlike traditional apps where a company stores your data, a Web3 wallet gives you a cryptographic key pair — a public address others can see, and a private key only you control.

  • Public Key

    Your address — like a bank account number. Share it to receive crypto.

  • Private Key

    The secret that proves ownership. Never share it with anyone.

  • Recovery Seed

    24 words that can regenerate your wallet on any device.

  • Self-Custody

    You control your assets — no company can freeze or seize them.

Types of Wallets

Custodial vs. Non-Custodial vs. Hardware

Not all wallets are equal. Understanding the difference determines how much control you actually have over your crypto.
