Greetings everyone
I hope you all are well. This is my third article about cryptocurrency wallets. In the previous two articles, I discussed what crypto wallets are and their importance. In this article I hope to present the differences between two main crypto wallets.
Cold wallets and hot wallets are two cryptocurrency wallets that many people use. So let us now see what are the differences between the two. First of all I will present some examples for this.
| Cold wallets | Hot wallets |
|---|---|
| Paper wallets | Desktop wallets |
| Hardware wallets | Mobile wallets |
| - | Web - based wallets |
Different between cold wallets and hot wallets
| Cold wallets | Hot wallets |
|---|---|
| Cold wallets are offline devices that come in physical form and no need to connect to the internet. | Hot wallets are internet enabled and online crypto wallets and must be connected to the Internet. |
| Ease of use is slightly less compared to hot wallets. | Easy to use compared to cold wallets. |
| The risk of online attacks and theft is very less compared to hot wallets. | The probability of being exposed to hackers is high because of an online application. |
| These types of wallets are best suitable for users looking to store large amounts of crypto over a long period of time. | This is the type of wallet best suited for regular traders or beginners to make quick online payments. |
| No special additional services. Only suitable for crypto storage. | Various services are available. |
| Ease of access to our funds is difficult compared to hot wallets. | Ease of access to our funds. |
| Only for storage of cryptocurrencies | Enables users to send, receive and store cryptocurrencies. |
| There is no such interface. Operate is difficult compared to hot wallets. | Having a user-friendly interface that users can easily operate. |
| Example :- Ledger nano X and ledger nano S etc... | Example :- Coinbase, MetaMask etc... |
According to these differences, one should choose a crypto wallet that suits our function or purpose. For someone who does daily trading, a hot wallet is suitable for that.
In addition to cold and hot crypto wallets, there is another type of crypto wallets called warm wallets, which show the same characteristics as hot wallets. But there is a difference between hot wallets and warm wallets. The difference is that hot wallets offer convenience, while warm wallets strike a balance between convenience and security.
