Why is it recommended to use an Arweave wallet?

Wallets securely store your private keys and provide a bridge-like interface for dApps to sign transactions and other data with your approval. This protects your AR tokens from malicious applications, by preventing them from draining your wallet or signing a message without your consent.

* Please make sure to keep multiple copies of your wallet key file in secure locations, as we cannot help you to recover your wallet if you lose it *

Are AR tokens compatible with any hardware wallets?

We are almost there! Both Ledger and Keystone are working on integrating Arweave into their services. arweave.app has done the initial client integration but full support is pending an upcoming ledger release.

Can I send AR tokens to MyEtherWallet/another third party wallet or an ETH address?

No, these are fundamentally incompatible. Don’t send your AR tokens to other blockchain addresses or wallets.

## Where can I see my AR token transfers' status?

The Viewblock block explorer allows you to discover and view statuses of Arweave transactions. To find your transfer, you can search for your wallet address or the ID of your transfer in the search bar, at the top of their site.
