Mobile wallet
While desktop wallets excel at testing, debugging, and deploying smart contracts, mobile wallets offer superior security features. Mobile wallets store sensitive information in the device's secure enclave, ensuring private keys remain protected.
Modern mobile wallets now include convenient features like passkey authentication,
TipBoth passkey authentication and blockchain use public-key cryptography - passkeys generate a private/public key pair where the private key is securely stored on your device while the public key is stored on servers, similar to how blockchain wallets use private keys to sign transactions and public keys/addresses for identification
eliminating the need to memorize mnemonic phrases. They also offer secure cloud backup options for wallet recovery. Most importantly, contemporary dApps are designed with mobile wallet compatibility in mind, allowing seamless integration whether you're accessing them from desktop or mobile devices.
