Crypto Wallet

A crypto wallet stores your private keys to access cryptocurrencies. Hot wallets (online) are convenient but vulnerable; cold wallets (hardware) are more secure. Not your keys, not your coins—custodial exchanges hold keys for you.

Example

Ledger and Trezor are hardware wallets; MetaMask is software.
