Also, we might want to list Airgap as well? https://airgap.it/#download
They have a rather unique approach for a cold/hot wallet.

I don't want to get into airgap vault/wallet here but I added it to the list.

| Many wallet applications provide a recovery code that you can use to restore the account if you lose the wallet application or the device that it is on. | ||
| You must also keep this recovery phrase secret. |

I think we are mixing two concepts here:
- Recovery phrases / secret keys associated associated with an account (or the many accounts that can be derived from that key pair)
- Other recovery/ backup mechanisms supported by Wallet apps (e.g. Ledger recover)

How about this:
Many wallet applications provide a way to recover the account if you lose the wallet application or the device that it is on. You must also keep this recovery information secret.

It would be worth it, I think, to briefly list these main recovery modes, which are wallet seed phrases, private keys of addresses, and "other proprietary systems". It's obvious to us, but perhaps less so for our readers.

Changed this to:
Many wallet applications provide a way to recover the account if you lose the wallet application or the device that it is on. Some wallets provide recovery codes in the form of a series of words, others recreate accounts from private keys, and others have proprietary recovery methods. You must also keep this recovery information secret.

| If you need funds for transaction fees on the test network, you can get them for free from the faucet, as described in [Funding a wallet](/developing/wallet-setup#funding-a-wallet). | ||

| After you approve the transaction and wait a minute or two, you can see it in your wallet's history and on the block explorer. |

This is outdated. You should see your transaction in less than 20 seconds now

Removed mention of time; I don't want to get into block confirmation here and there may be more time before the explorer shows it.

Other things supported:
- batching! We should highlight this as we don't use it enough

| Wallets are tools that manage accounts on blockchains like Tezos. |

Maybe briefly state what accounts serve for, in the first place:
| Wallets are tools that manage accounts on blockchains like Tezos. | |
| Wallets are tools that manage accounts on blockchains like Tezos, allowing you to hold and use tokens such as tez. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
This is tricky because it's not the wallet that stores the tez, technically speaking, but that's how people think of it. Is this an oversimplification or an appropriate simplification to make for new users?
How about this?
Wallets are tools that manage accounts on blockchains like Tezos. Their primary purpose is to store an account's private key securely and encrypt (or "sign") transactions with that key without exposing the key. As described in Accounts, these accounts can hold and use tokens such as tez, the native token of Tezos.

OK, but the point is to state earlier what accounts are for, without requiring to read the other page. Perhaps just shuffling the phrases in your suggestion:
Wallets are tools to easily and safely manage accounts on blockchains like Tezos. Accounts (see link) serve to hold and use tokens such as tez, the native token of Tezos. The primary purpose of wallets is to store an account's private key securely and encrypt (or "sign") transactions with that key without exposing the key.

ok, reworded the introduction.

changed the title
opentezos doesn't have this kind of info so this PR adds it to the new Using section, intended for Tezos consumers.
