## What are LBRY Rewards? {#rewards}
|
||||
[LBRY Rewards](/faq/rewards) are used to distribute LBRY Credits (LBC) to new and existing users by allowing them to explore app functions and complete tasks which generate LBC as a reward. To be eligible for rewards, you need to [verify your identity](/faq/identity-requirements) which uniquely identifies you as an LBRY user. Not all users or regions may qualify for rewards for various reasons, thank you for respecting this. LBRY can be used without the reward feature.

## What is a wallet and how do I find it? {#wallet}
|
||||
A wallet is a secure, digital wallet used to store, send, and receive cryptocurrencies like LBRY Credits (LBC). LBRY comes with its own wallet and is stored locally on your device and nowhere else unless you enable the Sync feature. **If you do not enable syncing, it is critical that you [backup your wallet data](/faq/how-to-backup-wallet) in case you lose access to your PC or need to [migrate](/faq/backup-data) to a new one.**
|
||||
|
||||
To find your wallet in LBRY:
|
||||
- in the **Desktop app** or **lbry.tv** click on your LBC Balance showing at the top right and it should display the wallet overview page which shows your balance, send/receive and recent transactions (balance may show as **`0 LBC`** if you don't have credits or as **`Wallet`** text if in the ***Settings** is enabled the option "***Hide wallet balance in header***").
|
||||
- in the **Desktop app** or on **lbry.tv** click on your LBC Balance showing at the top right and it should display the wallet overview page which shows your balance, send/receive and recent transactions (balance may show as **`0 LBC`** if you don't have any credits or as **`Wallet`** if the **"Hide wallet balance in header"** option is selected on the Settings page).
|
||||
|
||||
- in the **mobile app**, you need to open the main menu and then choose the `Wallet` option, where you can see the address of your wallet, recent transactions, you can send credits and synchronize your wallet.

|
||||
|
||||
The LBRY wallet is different from other cryptocurrencies because it also stores your shared content's metadata in the form of [claims](/faq/naming) when using the [publishing features](/faq/how-to-publish). Claim related [wallet transactions](/faq/transaction-types) ensure that the blockchain uniquely identifies your content and the payment/tips can be routed appropriately.

The easiest way to confirm that you are sharing correctly is to determine if the port used for seeding (3333) is open to the rest of the LBRY network. To do so, type 3333 into [this port checking tool](http://www.canyouseeme.org) and check the result. It if shows "Success", you are all set. If it shows "Error", you may need to check your router settings for UPnP options (set to enable) or forward TCP port 3333 and UDP Port 4444 to your local computer running the LBRY Desktop. Firewall and NAT settings may also affect the availability of these ports. Also, when you access the checking tool page, check if in the browser there is no active plug-in or extension that act as a VPN. In this case the result could be false and indeed your Desktop app could have access to these ports, but the browser not.
