First we have to look at the applications we can use to create wallets.

- [Daedalus](https://daedaluswallet.io/) : **Daedalus Wallet** is the official **Cardano** full-node wallet, which is a [GUI (Graphical User Interface)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface) application for the Desktop (**Linux**, **MacOS**, **Windows**). That means that users will get to use a nice UI (User Interface), buttons and layout to interact with the **Cardano** blockchain.

A full-node wallet basically means that it has to synchronize and download the blockchain first before users are able to send transactions and interact with the wallet.

It is open-source mainly being developed by [InputOutputGlobal](https://iohk.io/), the development company behind the **Cardano** protocol and also one of the three foundational entities of the **Cardano** project.

- [Yoroi](https://yoroi-wallet.com/#/) : **Yoroi Wallet** is the official **Cardano** light-wallet, It is available as a **mobile application** and as a **browser extension**.

A light-wallet means that users will not be forced to download the entire blockchain, Instead **Yoroi** has a backend server and downloads the blockchain data for the user without the user exposing sensitive data(**Private Keys**) to the server and ultimately maintaining security. This achieves a faster experience for the user due to the fact the user will not have to wait for hours before being able to use the wallet.

It is part of the `cardano-node` project repository, so if you [compile and install](/docs/get-started/installing-cardano-node) `cardano-node` you should also have `cardano-cli` as-well. It is one of the many Haskell-based **Cardano** software components being written by [InputOutputGlobal](https://iohk.io/).

:::warning
Always download the wallets from official sources. There are many fake wallets, malicious software pretending to be **Cardano** wallets that could potentially steal your tokens / assets.
