Definition ∞ Wallet primitives are the fundamental components or core functionalities that form the basis of a digital asset wallet. These include cryptographic key generation, secure storage of private keys, transaction signing capabilities, and address management. They are the essential building blocks enabling users to control and interact with their digital assets on a blockchain. These primitives ensure the secure handling of funds.
Context ∞ News about new wallet technologies or security vulnerabilities often refers to improvements or weaknesses in wallet primitives. Advancements in these foundational elements, such as multi-party computation or hardware security modules, are critical for enhancing user safety. Understanding wallet primitives is important for assessing the security and functionality of various digital asset storage solutions. Their design underpins the entire digital asset custody experience.
