# Getting Started

### Wallet

{% hint style="info" %}
The usefulness of the term "**Wallet**" is contested in the Verifiable Digital Credential space. When is something a "Wallet"? In the context of SpruceKit, we are simply talking about the combined functionality that allows a user of the application to participate in interactions as the holder of a Verifiable Digital Credential.

\
&#xNAN;**"A wallet can Accept, Store, and Present Verifiable Digital Credentials"**
{% endhint %}



Upon opening the app, you will see an empty Wallet View. On the top right of the screen, there is a "QR Code Scanner" button along with a "Settings" button. We will show you how to populate this screen with some test credentials on the [Next Page](issue-a-showcase-credential).

### Verifier

You can access the verifier functionality by toggling to the Verifier at the bottom of your screen. You'll see the pre-loaded verifications available. This includes scans of physical documents such as a Driver's License Document and an Employment Authorization Document.
