# Mintable Custodial Wallet

### 🧰 What Is a Custodial Wallet?

A **custodial wallet** is a wallet created and managed on your behalf. You don’t need to install extensions or manage private keys initially — Mintable takes care of the setup to provide a seamless entry point for new users.

***

### 📦 How the Mintable Wallet Works

* Your custodial wallet is created automatically when you sign up on Mintable.
* It can **receive and store NFTs**, including NFTs minted to your email via Mintology APIs.
* It also supports **auto-creation**: if an NFT is minted to an email (e.g. by a business using Mintology), a Mintable wallet and account are created automatically for that recipient.

> 📨 Users only need to **sign up using that same email** to access their NFT — no wallet setup required.

Don't worry, any assets that you have in there, is not controlled by Mintable and you can take custody of this wallet any time!

### 🛠️ Use Case: Business Onboarding With Mintology

Mintable’s custodial wallet feature is **ideal for brands** using **Mintology’s APIs** to mint NFTs to users who don’t yet have wallets.

#### Example:

1. A brand mints an NFT to a customer's **email** using Mintology
2. A Mintable account + custodial wallet is **automatically created**
3. The customer just signs up on Mintable with that same email to claim their NFT
4. No Web3 knowledge or crypto wallet setup needed
