A hardware wallet is a physical device used to securely store your cryptocurrency private keys offline. It’s a type of cold wallet, meaning it’s not connected to the internet, making it highly secure against online threats like hacking, malware, or phishing. . .
🔐 How It Works:
The hardware wallet stores your private keys (used to sign transactions) in a secure chip inside the device.
When you want to send crypto, you connect the device to your computer or smartphone via USB or Bluetooth.
Transactions are signed on the device itself, so the private key never leaves the hardware wallet or touches the internet.
The signed transaction is then broadcasted to the blockchain via your computer or mobile device.
