WHAT IS A COLD WALLET?
A cold wallet, technically, is not a wallet. We explain: A cold wallet allows us to protect our cryptos (stored on the blockchain) through cryptographic keys that the investor needs to access his stock of cryptoassets and transact with them on the internet. A cold wallet is a hardware device that stores the user’s crypto address, along with that and private key, essential to prove that the investor really owns cryptocurrencies. These tools only connect to the Internet when the user wants to use the cryptographic assets.
