# Email and Social Wallets

Email and Social wallets allow you to have an Ethereum account without having to manage the wallet yourself.

We understand that, as an email or social wallet user, you might want to transfer funds from/to centralized exchanges. You can do that via our [cross-chain bridge](./cross-chain-bridging) partner Layerswap.
