Description
Ethereum Paper Wallet
This card is called a paper wallet. It represents an address on the Ethereum blockchain where we have stored digital assets for you.
This card comes preloaded with 1,000,000 Gwei, or 0.001 ether (Ξ). Gwei is a denomination of ether (like a cent is a denomination of USD).
Each card belongs to a unique address on the blockchain, and each address has unique public and private keys (the QR codes). The private key is used to access the wallet so it comes obscured for security reasons. Do not reveal your private key to anyone who you do not want to access your wallet.
You can think of the public key as a deposit box where you can accept ether from anyone.
The activity of your wallet is publicly viewable by anyone by using chain monitoring services like etherscan. Simply scan the QR code and copy/paste the wallet address (“0x…”) into the etherscan search bar. You can even use this method to track the history of these funds from our wallet to this one.
More in-depth details are in the tabs below.
Important:
1) This card was designed only for education about the concept and process of using cryptocurrency. Please don’t use this card to store considerable value.
