In practice, mainly 5 different types of wallets are currently used, depending on personal preference:
On the official eMark website, core wallets (eMark-qt) are currently offered for the eMark for the most common operating systems for downloading to your own PC or MAC.
An online wallet for the eMark is offered e.g. on the site emark.space (no official eMark site). Registration is required for this.
Wallet in the form of an app to download and use on smartphone/tablet. Currently (January 2020), an Android wallet for the eMark is under development. An eMark wallet for IOS is to follow thereafter.
Here paper wallets for the eMark can be created for self-printing. The respective transaction key is printed on this and physically stored together with another private key that unlocks the transaction key.
Special storage medium, usually in the form of a USB stick or chip, on which the transaction keys are also stored physically/offline (cold storage) and can be protected against unauthorized access by additional passwords. According to the prevailing opinion of experts, this is currently the most secure form of storage, since no connection to the Internet is required for the storage itself. Unfortunately, no manufacturer currently offers an eMark-compatible hardware wallet (yet).
