What is a hardware wallet?
A hardware wallet is a physical electronic device—often resembling a USB stick—used to securely store the private keys that give access to your cryptocurrency funds, keeping them completely offline and away from internet-based threats like hackers and malware. Unlike software wallets or exchange accounts, hardware wallets isolate your private keys from online devices, ensuring that even if your computer or phone is compromised, your crypto remains safe. When you want to make a transaction, the device signs it internally without ever exposing the private key, making hardware wallets the most trusted option for protecting your digital assets long-term.

What is seed (seed phrases)?
A seed (or seed phrase) is a sequence of 12 to 24, 48 randomly generated words that acts as the master key to a cryptocurrency wallet, allowing you to recover all your funds if your wallet is lost, stolen, or damaged. When you set up a crypto wallet, it generates this phrase using the BIP39 standard, making it easier for people to securely back up and restore their wallets without having to remember complex private keys. The seed phrase must be kept safe and private, because anyone who obtains it can gain full access to your digital assets—it is the only way to recover your wallet, and losing it means permanent loss of access to your funds. Check if your seed is safe.
Why should I use a hardware wallet and seed?
Using a hardware wallet to store your cryptocurrency greatly enhances security by keeping your private keys offline and out of reach from hackers, malware, and phishing attacks that target internet-connected devices. Even if your computer or phone is compromised, your digital assets remain protected, as the private keys never leave the hardware wallet. These wallets are user-friendly and portable, often requiring extra authentication like a PIN code, providing strong protection against theft, hacking, and the risks associated with storing funds on exchanges or software wallets.
