What is Wallet type?

In short

The form a digital wallet takes, from a phone app to desktop software.

A wallet type is the form your digital wallet takes. A mobile wallet runs inside a phone app, so it travels with you and pays you from the phone in your hand. A software wallet runs on a computer or its own program, which can suit heavier trading and larger sums.

Most of the brands here are built for a phone. 1inch, 2gether, altify and Anchorage Digital use mobile wallets through mobile, mobile and mobile. Advcash (Advanced Cash) Card is the exception here, with software, so it works from a computer rather than a handset.
