A NEAR wallet controls a NEAR account: either a 64-character implicit address made from your key, or a readable name such as alice.near. Sending NEAR costs a tiny fraction of a coin, but activating a brand-new account costs about 0.007 NEAR, and the account must exist before it can sign anything.

An opBNB wallet holds BNB and tokens on opBNB, the OP Stack layer 2 that settles on BNB Smart Chain. It uses your usual 0x address and pays tiny fees in BNB. The catches are getting funds there, adding tokens by contract, and the seven-day wait on the official bridge back to BSC.

An Osmosis wallet controls an osmo1 address that holds OSMO and the IBC tokens traded on the Osmosis DEX. Pay fees in OSMO, check what backs each token before trusting its name, add memos for exchange deposits, and expect staked OSMO to take 14 days to unbond.

A Polygon wallet is an Ethereum-style wallet that holds POL and tokens such as USDC on Polygon's main chain, at the same 0x address you have on Ethereum. Each transfer pays a tiny gas fee in POL, the coin that replaced MATIC in 2024, so keep a little POL next to your stablecoins.

A Rootstock wallet holds RBTC, bitcoin pegged one to one on Rootstock's smart contract chain, at an Ethereum-style 0x address. It pays gas in RBTC, takes about 17 hours to peg in through the PowPeg, and writes addresses with its own checksum, which is why some wallets reject them.

A Sei wallet now means an EVM wallet: SEI and tokens on a 0x address, with gas paid in SEI. Sei is retiring its older Cosmos-style sei1 accounts under SIP-3, so use your 0x address everywhere and move anything still sitting at a sei1 address before the final upgrade.

A Solana wallet holds the keys to your Solana address, where SOL and SPL tokens like USDC live. To use one safely, keep a little SOL for fees and the rent deposit every account needs, choose Solana as the network on exchanges, and check each address before you sign.

A Sonic wallet holds S, the coin that replaced Fantom's FTM, plus tokens like USDC on a normal 0x address. Fees are paid in S and cost a tiny fraction of a cent. The main trap is the old Fantom Opera chain: it shares your address, but its FTM is a different coin on a different network.

A Sui wallet holds the key to a 0x address with 64 hex characters, where SUI and tokens such as USDC sit as objects you own. Keep a little SUI for gas, choose Sui as the network on exchanges, don't confuse the address with an EVM or Aptos one, and ignore objects you never asked for.

A Telos EVM wallet holds TLOS and tokens at a 0x address on Telos, a fast layer 1 that also has native 12-character accounts. Exchanges handle TLOS on the native chain with a memo, or as a token on Ethereum or BNB Chain, so plan how it reaches your EVM address. Gas is a fixed price in TLOS.

A TON wallet is a small smart contract on The Open Network that holds Gram, the coin formerly called Toncoin, plus jettons such as USDT. Receive on the UQ form of your address, add the exchange's comment when you deposit, and keep a little Gram for fees, which run well under a cent.

A Unichain wallet is any Ethereum-style wallet that holds ETH and tokens on Unichain, the layer 2 network Uniswap Labs built for trading. It uses your normal 0x address, confirms in about a second and charges gas in ETH, not UNI. Fund it with a little ETH first, then send, swap or bridge.
