# Wallet

After creating an account with your email address, you can browse the service freely.\
If you're interested in participating, you’ll likely want to start making transactions. To do so, you'll need to connect a crypto wallet.

## Why do I need to connect a wallet before buying and selling?

Assets used on Alt.town are stored in users' personal wallets. When you buy or sell DNA using KEY, the assets are transferred between wallets through smart contracts. This means only the wallet owner can control the assets, and Alt.town does not store or manage user funds. A connected wallet is essential for converting in-app activity into actual blockchain transactions.

## What wallets can I use?

You can either create a new wallet within Alt.town or connect an existing crypto wallet. Simply choose your preferred wallet provider from the available options.&#x20;

***

*🌟 Please note: the wallet must support the BNB Smart Chain (BSC).*
