What is PlatON Wallet? How to use PlatON Wallet

PlatON is a next-generation Internet infrastructure protocol based on the fundamental properties of blockchain and supported by the privacy-preserving computation network. PlatON core feature is Computing interoperability.

To be able to skin in this blockchain, of course, you will need a PlatON Wallet. In today's article, I will show you the details on how to create a PlatON Wallet.

What is PlatON Wallet?

The PlatON wallet is where LAT and PRC20, PRC721 standard tokens are stored on the PlatON blockchain. You can send and receive LAT tokens as well as interact with applications on the PlatON platform.

In particular, this wallet is owned by you, so no one has the right to influence or use the wallet other than you.

What is included in a PlatON Wallet address?

A PlatON Wallet has 3 extremely important pieces of information you must take note:

• Wallet address: A sequence of numbers and characters used to send assets to the PlatON wallet. Others can transfer coins to you through the wallet address you provide. A PlatON (LAT) wallet address will have the following format: 0x4184CED912A14E6AD2Ad4F4Cb3026aC866153c4d.
• Passphrase: A security key that can be understood as a password consisting of any 12 English keywords. If you want to perform the wallet recovery operation, you must go through the Passphrase login step. Format of a Passphrase: web erase horse you rubber potato maximum piece daughter dynamic trial male.
• Private Key: A string of letters and numbers to connect to the account, quite similar to the password of a bank account. Format of a Private Key: 0x6128e76b3690edfefc94c47a0542b7cd6ff9fcac956fa5b12bdc1a10dc76ab55.

To visualize, you can imagine that the PlatON wallet is a bank account, the wallet address is the account number and the passphrase is the password.

The difference here is that with a bank account, other people will know your personal information. As for the PlatON wallet, the user becomes anonymous, no one knows who owns the wallet, and transactions only occur through the address encoded into a sequence of numbers and characters.
