### Software Wallets (Hot Wallets)
- When creating a new wallet only 15-word phrase is available.
- Make sure that you write down new wallet's words in respective order since the app is going to ask them for confirmation
- There will be a "spending password" embedded to your extension/app which you will determine. Losing the password only means you won't be able to make transactions on that instance. Deleting the extension/mobile app and restoring with your 15-word recovery phrase will be able to restore your wallet(s).
- Multi-signature and multi asset transaction is available.
- Yoroi supports restoring wallets with 15-word and 24-word recovery phrases and also **paper** wallets

## Staking
"Delegation List" tab in the extension offers extensive pool search ability and delegation is simple enough. It is possible to delegate to different pools with different wallets (multi-delegation).

Yoroi embraces voting. However, at the time of documentation, we were out of the voting period (and it also requres minimum 500 ADA).
