# Understanding Web3 Wallets

> Learn about cryptocurrency wallets and how to get started with TokenFabric

# Getting Started with Web3 Wallets

A Web3 wallet is your gateway to digital assets and decentralized applications like TokenFabric. Think of it as your digital identity and account combined - it's how you'll interact with blockchain networks.

## Types of Wallets on TokenFabric

### 1. Social Login Wallets (Recommended for Beginners)

The easiest way to get started with TokenFabric:

* Sign up with email
* Use Google account
* Connect other social accounts

**Benefits:**

* Quick setup (under 1 minute)
* Familiar login process
* Built-in security features
* Can be exported to other wallets later

### 2. External Wallets

For users who already have cryptocurrency wallets:

* MetaMask
* Coinbase Wallet
* WalletConnect (350+ compatible wallets)

**Benefits:**

* Use existing wallet
* Greater control
* Wide compatibility

<Note>
  Not sure which to choose? Start with social login - you can always export your wallet later if needed.
</Note>

<Tips>
  Social wallets maintain consistent addresses across our ecosystem protocols. This means if you create a wallet on TokenFabric and use the same social login on Zenvest, you'll have the same wallet address on both platforms.
