# Your Blockchain Identity Your identity on chain is defined by two things: your *public address* and your *private key*. These two pieces are like your login information. The public address being your username and your private key being your password. The way to manage your on-chain assets is a blockchain wallet. A wallet can display all of the assets associated with your public address and make transfers on your behalf with your private key. The important aspect of wallets to know is that the companies that create provide you the wallet do not have access to your private key, as it is only stored locally on your device. In the crypto community, it is best to use the most common blockchain wallets since they will have the most support with all of the websites you’ll be using. The process for setting up these different wallets are all very similar as they all rely on the address and private key information mentioned above. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
