A local wallet is a type of wallet that allows you to create wallets within your application or project.

It is a non-custodial solution that simplifies the onboarding process by offering a "checkout as guest" experience. This improves the user experience for web3 apps in two ways:

• It enables non-web3 native users to get started easily without having to create a wallet with an external provider like MetaMask.
• It hides transaction confirmations from users. With a local wallet, you can generate wallets on the backend, and each app can have one wallet that is app-scoped.

Additionally, the local wallet has UI functionality, available within the React SDK and React Native SDK, that allows users to export and optionally store the encrypted key on their browser, mobile, or other devices.
