GateHub supported wallet types are XRP Ledger wallets, GateHub-hosted wallets, and Xahau wallets. Your account can hold up to 40 GateHub hosted or XRP ledger and Xahau wallets.
XRP Ledger wallets
An XRP Ledger wallet (also called XRP Ledger address or XRP Ledger account) exists on the XRP Ledger (formerly known as Ripple Consensus Ledger) and is publicly visible.
It is not tied to your GateHub account and can be exported elsewhere.
An XRP Ledger wallet allows you to receive and send funds, as well as trade funds on the XRP Ledger through the GateHub “TRADE” or “EXCHANGE” interfaces.
In order to gain functionality, an XRP Ledger wallet must be activated with at least 1 XRP and it must hold that amount of XRP at all times as required by the XRP Ledger protocol. This is called the XRP reserve and its purpose is spam protection.

GateHub hosted wallets
GateHub-hosted wallets are stored on GateHub private servers and are not publicly visible.

The "Trade" option is currently not supported in hosted wallets.
Xahau wallets
Xahau wallets exist on Xahau (an XRP Ledger side chain) and are publicly visible on the Xahau Ledger. Similarly to the XRP Ledger wallet, It is not tied to your GateHub account and can be exported elsewhere.
In order to gain functionality, an Xahau wallet must be activated with at least 1 XAH and it must hold that amount of XAH at all times, as required by the Xahau Ledger protocol. This is called the reserve and its purpose is spam protection.
An Xahau wallet allows you to receive and send funds, as well as trade funds on the Xahau Ledger through the GateHub “TRADE” interface.
