Hiram Villa, more commonly known as Teel, is an accomplished artist currently in Madison, Wisconsin. He is most well known for his graffiti and has been doing graffiti majority of his life, along with murals, paintings, and more recently, digital art.

Teel grew up in Chicago and was influenced by hip-hop. Shortly after his mother passed away, he had a few choices: get into some real trouble in the streets or take out his frustrations with graffiti. We all know which option he took. Teel found a crew at the age of 14 and started to quickly grow in popularity. One of the most important lessons he learned as a young artist was that each artist needs to have their own style and there has to be a level of symmetry to the work. Teel took on the challenge and continued to grow.

As Teel’s work got bigger and more known, he began to build out his collection. His paintings can be found spread across Madison in restaurants, bars, and more. He has painted in nearly every big city, worked with big brands like Miller, and continues to exapnd.

Most recently, Teel began diving into digital art, creating two collections "

 Both collections are unique and provide insight into his sense of humor and creativity. We are excited to have Teel on our platform and are excited to see his work grow in popularity with our community!

If you're new to the world of cryptocurrency, you may be wondering what a wallet is and how it works. Most of you have a wallet to store money, credit cards, IDs, and if you don't clean yours out very often, maybe even your Blockbuster card. Your wallet is a place to keep your things close and protected. A wallet in the crypto space isn't much different, to be honest. It's a place to store your cryptocurrency. But instead of dollars or euros, you've got crypto coins or tokens.

There are many types of wallets, but the most important distinction is between hot and cold wallets. Hot wallets are connected to the internet and therefore more vulnerable to hacks, while cold wallets are offline and much more secure.

A hot wallet is a digital cryptocurrency wallet that is connected to the internet. Because they are connected to the internet, hot wallets are more vulnerable to hacks. However, hot wallets are also easier to use because they can be accessed from anywhere in the world. If you want to buy or sell cryptocurrency quickly, a hot wallet is a good choice.

A cold wallet is a digital cryptocurrency wallet that is not connected to the internet. Because they are not connected to the internet, cold wallets are much more secure. However, cold wallets can be difficult to use because they can only be accessed from a specific location. If you want to store your cryptocurrency long-term, a cold wallet is a good choice.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each type of wallet?

Hot wallets are characterized by their ease of use and accessibility. They are typically hosted on online exchanges or third-party platforms, which means that they can be accessed from any computer with an internet connection. Cold wallets, on the other hand, are offline wallets that are typically stored on a USB drive or offline computer. Because they are not connected to the internet, cold wallets are much more secure than hot wallets. However, they can be more difficult to set up and use, and they may not be compatible with all exchanges. Ultimately, both hot and cold wallets have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it’s important to choose the right type of wallet for your needs.

If you're like most people, you probably keep your wallet in your back pocket. But what if I told you that there's a much better way to keep your wallet safe? The great thing about a crypto wallet is that it is much more secure than a traditional wallet. With a traditional wallet, if someone stole your wallet, they would have access to all of your money. But with a crypto wallet, only you have the private keys that allow you to access your funds. So even if someone stole your crypto wallet, they wouldn't be able to do anything with it.

A private key is like a secret password that allows you to access and manage your cryptocurrency funds. It is a string of letters and numbers that proves your ownership of your cryptocurrency. Just like a traditional bank account, you need to keep your private key safe and secure. If someone else gets access to your private key, they can steal your cryptocurrency. That's why it's important to never share your private key with anyone. The best way to protect your private key is to keep it stored in a secure place, such as a digital wallet, on a piece of paper that you keep in a safe place, or memorize it. So how can you keep your crypto wallet secure? The best way is to use a hardware or cold wallet like a Ledger. These devices allow you to store your private keys offline, which makes them much more difficult to steal, and are also protected by an 8-digit code.

We have a few different options for you as a user on our platform. Because we have built our ecommerce platform on the blockchain, everyone needs to have a wallet. To make it even easier, we have a few options:

You can use a non-custodial wallet, which is simply a wallet that we set up for you and is specifically tied to your profile

You can use a hot wallet, like MetaMask or Coinbase Wallet

You can continue shopping as you would on Amazon, Etsy, and other platforms, using a credit card or crypto, but now have a wallet associated with your account to store any digital assets that a creator on our platform may reward you with for supporting their business. Our goal is to make the transaction frictionless and to allow users the ability to use whatever form of payment they are comfortable with. Shopping should be easy, so let's continue to make it easy.
