IntroductionIn general, many people are familiar with the name Crypto and when they hear Crypto, they immediately go to Bitcoin.
Cryptocurrency based on definitions from several sources is a digital currency that can be used as a means of transaction between the first party (owner) and the second party (recipient) without the need to involve a third party.
In every activity of storing, sending and receiving, users need a wallet to be able to get addresses or addresses that are private and public.
