Wallet Guide
The Skatehive wallet is your hub for managing all your crypto assets across multiple blockchains. Access it at skatehive.app/wallet.
🏦 Overview

The wallet has four tabs — Wallet Overview · Art · SkateBank · PIX — and the overview aggregates your balances across Hive, EVM and Farcaster into one portfolio (filter with the All Chains / Hive / EVM / Farcaster pills):

- Art — your NFTs.
- SkateBank — HBD savings (15% APR) and savings jars.
- PIX — Brazilian fiat (BRL) transfers via PIX.
You can also convert your rewards into real Bitcoin — see Earn in Bitcoin.
