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.
