# Mobile wallet

## Definition

A mobile crypto wallet is wallet software designed to run on a smartphone or tablet and provide access to addresses, balances, signing and blockchain interactions from that device.

## What it means in practice

Mobile wallets are convenient for routine use, but their security depends on the application, device, operating system, recovery practices and user transaction checks.

## How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet

Terenval Wallet is mobile-first and installable as a PWA, with particular focus on smartphone use and Android.

**Important:** Protect the phone with device security, install only from the official Terenval site and keep recovery material separate from the device.
