Wallets / Funding & Trustlines
There are several wallet types, but for the most part they all hold the same characteristics. You can send/receive, trade, and buy/sell assets.
You have self custody where you hold your own keys to your wallet and no person or agency can stop you from transacting your assets
Then you have Exchange wallets, these are not your wallets. Your funds could be seized or frozen. For the most part, well known exchanges are safe and don’t commonly practice this method of behavior.
There are times when these exchanges needed to halt transactions or have had network outages that prevented you from accessing your assets.
Important !!!!
When setting up your self custody wallet write down your keys “password” and “do not” loose them! Self Custody comes at a price, loose your keys there is no support to recover your wallet.
Those keys are the combination to your wallet through a series of random numbers or words given to you when setting up your wallet, write them down in order correctly! No one can recover your account with out this combination of numbers or words “your keys”

- Warm Wallets like XUMM & Sologenic Wallet, run on the xrpl ledger and the Native Asset is “XRP”. To make any transaction on the XRPL Ledger “network” xrp is needed for transaction fees.
