Detailed description
Blockchain.com offers a combination of a web wallet, mobile apps and additional products for working with cryptocurrency. Within some products the platform provides the option of local private key storage, but it also offers services that operate by holding funds on the company's side — this should be considered when choosing a usage model.
For basic transactions and managing small amounts, the web wallet is convenient: the interface is simple, integration with buy/sell features simplifies operations. For storing large sums it is recommended to choose hardware-isolated key solutions.
When using the platform pay attention to security settings (seed phrase backup, two-factor authentication, URL checks) and verification requirements for certain services.
