Hot Wallet vs Cold Wallet
Hot Wallet 🔥
- Connected to the internet
- Examples: Mobile wallets (Trust Wallet), desktop wallets, exchange wallets (Binance)
- Easy for quick access & trading
- Higher risk of hacking
Cold Wallet❄️
- Offline storage
- Examples: Hardware wallets (Ledger, Trezor), paper wallets
- Very secure, ideal for long-term storage
- Less convenient for frequent trades
Best Way to Stay Safe 🛡️
- Use *hot wallets* for small, frequent transactions
- Store large amounts in a *cold wallet*
- Always enable *2FA*
- Don’t share private keys or seed phrases
- Keep backups offline
Tip: Combine both for balance—accessibility + security.
