What is public and private key?

For the activation of every blockchain, a unique Public-Private key pair, consisting of sequences of randomized characters, is generated. Public Key, as the name suggests, is the “public” part of the key pair. It is your own publicized address to which others send crypto funds, functioning similarly to your mailing address. Conversely, Private Key serves as the “ticket” that allows users to access and spend their funds. It is of paramount importance, therefore, that users keep their private keys safe from unauthorized access to protect their assets.

From the moment you create your wallet, Infinito Wallet uses your chosen wallet password to encrypt all of your private keys as an instantaneous one-time process, serving as the outermost layer of security. As Private Key is the “key” to users’ access and usage of their funds, by allowing users to view and export them, Infinito Wallet grants you absolute autonomy to freely manage multiple blockchain assets, the essentials of a true universal cryptocurrency wallet.
