Hardware wallet
A hardware wallet is a physical device used to store and manage cryptocurrency private keys offline, away from potential online threats such as attacks on an exchange or hacking attempts. It usually looks like a small USB device that can be easily connected to a computer or mobile device. A hardware wallet provides enhanced security for crypto assets compared to software wallets because it does not require exposure of private keys over the internet. As a result, hardware wallets are considered one of the most secure ways to store cryptocurrency.
