A desktop wallet is a type of software wallet that is usually non-custodial.
One drawback to using crypto wallets on desktop devices is the lack of portability compared to mobile devices. However, most desktop wallets are interoperable with a corresponding mobile wallet. This means users can quickly and efficiently migrate their seeds from a desktop device to a mobile device for greater portability if needed.
