Types of Crypto Wallets

Hot Wallets (Online)

Accessible and convenient, but vulnerable to hacks. Examples: MetaMask, Trust Wallet.

Cold Wallets (Offline)

Much safer for large holdings. Examples: Ledger Nano, Trezor.

Paper Wallets

Printed QR codes or seed phrases. Secure but risky to lose.

Custodial vs Non-Custodial

Custodial wallets are managed by exchanges. Non-custodial wallets give you full control of your keys.
