Wallets are blockchain addresses that enable customers to send and receive USDC directly on [supported blockchain networks](/platform/wallets/overview#supported-blockchain-networks). Unlike the wallets you get when you [create an account](/platform/accounts/create-an-account), these wallets operate independently and are not linked to an account.

## Wallets workflow

To use wallets with Gravv:

1. [Create a customer](/getting-started/your-first-gravv-integration#/create-a-customer) to obtain a customer id.
2. [Create a wallet](/platform/wallets/create-a-wallet) for the customer on your chosen blockchain network.

## When to use wallets

Use wallets when you need:

* direct blockchain interactions without managing full user accounts
* multiple blockchain addresses under one customer
* flexibility to create wallets for specific blockchains on demand

## Wallets vs accounts

While both wallets and [accounts](/platform/accounts/overview) enable cryptocurrency transactions, they serve different purposes:

| Wallets                               | Accounts                                                                        |
| :------------------------------------ | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| standalone blockchain addresses       | full-featured financial accounts                                                |
| can send and receive funds directly   | always backed by a wallet                                                       |
| don't include virtual account details | include virtual account details for wire transfers and ACH |
| don't support additional features     | support additional features like cards and savings                              |
| wallets can exist without accounts    | accounts can't exist without wallets                                            |
