Stellar wallets are essential tools for interacting with the Stellar blockchain, enabling developers and users to securely manage, send, and receive digital assets. This section covers the setup and integration of popular Stellar wallets:
Public Key: Your Stellar address, used to receive assets. This can be shared publicly.
Private Key: Your secret key used to authorize transactions. This must be kept secure and never shared.
Never share your private key with anyone
Stellar accounts need to establish trustlines to receive custom assets. Trustlines represent a relationship between two accounts, where one account trusts the other to issue a specific asset. This allows the receiving account to accept and hold that asset.
Trustlines are crucial in Stellar for:
Establishing trust with asset issuers
Enabling receipt of custom tokens
Requiring a small minimum balance to create
Stellar accounts require a minimum balance (currently 0.5 XLM)
Each trustline adds to the minimum balance requirement
Helps prevent spam and ensures network stability
Use hardware wallets when possible
Enable two-factor authentication
Store private keys offline
Use secure, updated browsers
Regularly update wallet software
Be cautious of phishing sites
