๐ŸงŠCold Wallet

A cold wallet is a secure way to store cryptocurrency because it remains offline, making it much harder for hackers to access. Since cold wallets arenโ€™t connected to the internet, they protect your funds from cyber threats like malware and phishing attacks.

Here are the main types of cold wallets:

  • Hardware wallets โ€“ These are physical devices, like USB drives, that store your private keys securely. They require a PIN or password to access.

  • Paper wallets โ€“ These are printed documents containing a wallet address and a private key. They can be stored safely in a secure place like a safe or a bank deposit box.

  • Air-gapped computers โ€“ These are computers that never connect to the internet and are used only to store cryptocurrency.

Cold wallets are perfect for long-term storage, especially for people who want to hold their crypto for years.

If you're looking for reliable cold wallets, here are some well-known providers:

  • Ledger โ€“ Offers Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S Plus, known for their security and ease of use.
