To be precise, it acts as a digital wallet for your virtual currencies. Crypto wallets use cryptographic techniques to guarantee the security and integrity of your transactions. Crypto wallets can be categorised into two types: ‘hot’ and ‘cold’. The hot wallets (sometimes called software wallets) consists of all online (internet connected) wallets on desktops and mobiles, for example ‘Exodus’. On the other side, cold wallets (hardware wallets) such as Ledger and Trezor, consists of all physical devices that store your cryptocurrencies offline and paper wallets (printed documents containing public and private keys).
