KEY POINT 1

A hot wallet is connected to the internet. Think mobile apps, browser extensions, or exchange wallets. It’s great for quick trades and everyday use, but if your device or account gets compromised, your funds could be exposed.

A cold wallet stays offline, usually as a hardware device or paper backup. Because it’s not always connected, it’s much harder for hackers to reach. That makes it a better fit for long-term storage.
