# Parsona vs Wallet Address

A wallet address is a 0x string that acts as a pseudonymous identifier and transaction executor. It lacks context, memory, and meaning. It also exposes your full transaction history, which can be tracked by anyone.

Parsona is a full identity layer built on top of the wallet. It provides:

A consistent user profile across dApps

Encrypted memory (vault) to store preferences and usage history

An address abstraction that hides the real wallet behind a private identity

A way to authenticate and act without revealing wallet activity

In essence, the wallet address is the raw key. The Parsona identity is what makes that key usable, contextual, and private.
