Solana, the wallet address is the public key of a keypair. There are a variety
of techniques for generating keypairs. The method you choose will depend on how
you choose to store keypairs. Keypairs are stored in wallets. Before receiving
tokens, you will need to [choose a wallet](../wallet/cli-wallets.md) and
[generate keys](generate-keys.md). Once completed, you should have a public key
tokens, you will need to [create a wallet](../wallet/cli-wallets.md).
Once completed, you should have a public key
for each keypair you generated. The public key is a long string of base58
characters. Its length varies from 32 to 44 characters.
