What is a hardware wallet? And why should I use one? Your answers lie here ⬇️
Storing your keys is straightforward – they’re just strings of numbers and letters. They can be written down on paper and stored in a safe. To use the keys to move funds, however, they need to be on a device that creates proof that you can spend your coins.Hardware wallets are devices specially designed to securely store private keys. They’re considered safer than desktop or smartphone wallets, mainly because they don’t connect to the Internet at any point.
Once the user creates a transaction, they send it to the hardware wallet . Note that the transaction is still incomplete: it needs to be signed by the private key in the device. Users confirm that the amount and address are correct when prompted on the hardware device. At that point, it is signed and sent back to the software , which broadcasts it to the cryptocurrency’s network .
Funds that aren’t actively being used – those that aren’t being spent, staked, lent, or traded – should be kept in. A hardware wallet provides a convenient means of achieving this for users, even those with limited technical knowledge. To date, though, no successful hack has retrieved the private keys from a hardware device in a real-world scenario. When vulnerabilities are reported, manufacturers are generally quick to patch them. That's not to say they're impossible – researchers have demonstrated attacks against even the most popular wallets.
