Crypto Wallet Guides From HyperPay
HyperPay is a cryptocurrency wallet that publishes plain-language guides on self-custody fundamentals, blockchain transaction privacy, and practical topics such as spending crypto with a prepaid card. The guides are written for newcomers and assume no prior crypto experience. Each guide names the sources behind its factual claims and states where HyperPay features are relevant rather than presenting them as the only option.

The wallet is downloaded from our official download page — installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Can Crypto Wallets Be Traced?
What “traceable” actually means for on-chain activity: why addresses are pseudonymous rather than anonymous, how blockchain analysis clusters addresses, the everyday habits that link an address to a person, and where privacy coins and KYC fit in.
How to Buy Crypto With a Prepaid Card
A step-by-step walkthrough of buying crypto with a prepaid card: why platforms treat prepaid differently from debit, what it really costs, and how to spend crypto back out.
Living on Crypto: What It Actually Takes
Covering rent, groceries and bills from a wallet: the three-layer budget, the payments a crypto card still cannot reach, how to size a stablecoin buffer, and the records to keep as you go.
What we cover, and what we don't
The current set focuses on three questions people actually ask before choosing a wallet: who controls your funds, what other people can see about your activity, and how money moves between crypto and everyday spending. Those topics decide which product fits you far more than any feature list does.
We do not publish price predictions, trading strategies or yield comparisons dressed up as advice. Each guide leads with a direct answer, then the mechanism, then the trade-offs.
Where to start
New to holding crypto outside an exchange? Start with self-custody. Already hold your own keys and wondering what your activity reveals? Start with traceability. Want the practical route in and out without a bank? Start with the prepaid card guide.
Shorter, product-specific answers live in the HyperPay wallet FAQ, and the HyperPay security and audit page covers the SlowMist and CertiK audit record and HyperPay's custody model.
Where this fits
If you would rather see the product than read about the concepts, the HyperPay crypto wallet overview summarises custody, the card and staking in one page.
To follow a guide hands-on, download HyperPay first, then set up the HyperPay self-custody dual wallet described throughout these guides.
