# Overview

Algorand wallets help users to safely send and receive ALGO as well as facilitate daily transactions for artists and collectors in the NFT space, but they’re incredibly useful for so many other things.

Being a proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain, certain Algorand wallets also allow users to earn steady returns for staking their ALGO.

Whichever Algorand wallet you decide to use, make sure that you follow wallet security best practices. Always back up your seed words and store them in a safe location and don’t download any suspicious files that could be laden with malware.
