# How to use Watch Wallet and Cold Wallet?

**What is Watch Wallet?**

Watch Wallet is mainly used to observe the assets of the target wallet, it can also complete the transfer operation by communicatings with Cold Wallet.

**What is Cold Wallet?**

Cold Wallet is also called "offline wallet", it communicates with Watch Wallet through QR Code, keys never connect to the net, which can effectively prevent hackers from stealing.

**Why Watch Wallet can’t finish the transfer operation?**

<mark style="color:red;">\*Watch Wallet is essentially a blockchain explorer that observes the assets of a specific address.</mark>

Users can have a convenient experience by entering the public key or wallet address. You can view the assets and transfer records of the Watch Wallet.

We will use the password and private key to complete the operations like transfer or trade when we create/import the wallet. Thus Watch Wallet cannot directly perform on-chain operations such as transfers. If you need to transfer, you can import the private key or secret recovery phrase into the wallet or use it with a cold wallet for approval.
