Abstract:
A cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency. Many cryptocurrencies are decentralized networks based on blockchain technology. A cryptocurrency wallet allows users to store and retrieve their digital assets. Crypto wallets technically do not store your cryptocurrency, your holdings live on the blockchain but can only be accessed using your private key. The private key proves your ownership of you digital assets and allow you to make transactions. A hardware wallet is a cryptocurrency wallet which stores the users private key in a secure hardware device. It provides isolation between private keys and easy-to-hack computer or smartphone.
