# What Is a Decentralized Wallet? As opposed to unified wallets (trades) where the confidential key is in the possession of an outsider specialist co-op, the confidential key of a decentralized wallet is kept by the actual client and the resources are put away on the blockchain, the client is the genuine holder of the computerized cash, the wallet is only a device to assist the client with dealing with the resources on the chain and read the blockchain information, so it is basically impossible to control, take or move your resources. Consequently, decentralized wallets are hard to be gone after by programmers midway, and clients don't need to stress over self-taking or taking off from the wallet specialist co-op, in light of the fact that as long as you keep your hidden key safe while making the wallet, your resources are still on the chain and can be shown in an alternate wallet too. **Note:** If a decentralized wallet is lost or taken, it can't be recuperated without a reinforcement of your confidential key or seed state, so make certain to back up your confidential key safely and accurately. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
