  Sure! An SPV wallet enhances the security of digital currencies by allowing users to verify transactions without downloading the entire blockchain. Instead, it only downloads a small portion of the blockchain called the Merkle root. This reduces the risk of exposing sensitive information and minimizes the chances of being targeted by hackers. Additionally, SPV wallets rely on trusted full nodes to validate transactions, further enhancing security.

  An SPV wallet is like a lightweight version of a full node wallet. It doesn't store the entire blockchain, which makes it faster and more efficient. This enhances security because it reduces the attack surface for potential hackers. SPV wallets also rely on the consensus of the network to validate transactions, making it difficult for malicious actors to manipulate the system.
