[Decentralized for Stronger Asset Security]
In the sense of blockchain, a wallet is considered as the account of crypto assets, and creating a wallet is to create an account for crypto asset storage, that consists of a set of public keys and private keys. In this way, the public keys are your account ID, and the private keys are similar to passwords.
Depending on the storage location of private keys, crypto wallets can be categorized into decentralized wallets (On-chain wallets) and centralized wallets (Off-chain wallets): In decentralized wallets, the private keys are stored locally on your device, and completely controlled by you. Since all wallet data is recorded on the blockchain, and all transactions can be checked on-chain, decentralized wallets are also known as on-chain wallets. On the other hand, with centralized wallets, the wallet providers have full control over the private keys and store them on their servers. All data and transaction records in these wallets are stored on the provider's server, not on the blockchain. Therefore, they are also called off-chain wallets.
ViaWallet is a decentralized wallet. The private keys are stored locally on your device, and you have full control over your private keys and crypto assets. What's more, all wallet data is accessible on the blockchain. ViaWallet provides multi-chain and multi-crypto asset management all in one and safeguards your assets.
