An account's Ether balance might be 7.1 ETH in the Ethereum Mainnet, 2.39 ETH in Görli testnet. You can move ETH from one network to another only with a special setup exchange or bridge. Also, you can't transfer tokens from networks holding value such as Ethereum mainnet to networks not holding value, i.e., testnets like Görli. The same is true of the OCEAN balances.

Each account has one **private key** and one **address**. The address can be calculated from the private key. You must keep the private key secret because it's what's needed to spend/transfer ETH and OCEAN (or to sign transactions of any kind). You can share the address with others. In fact, if you want someone to send some ETH or OCEAN to an account, you give them the account's address. Each account has one **private key** and one **address**.
