Excerpt: Understand what crypto wallets are, the different types, and how to use them safely.
A crypto wallet is a tool that allows you to store and manage your cryptocurrencies. It doesn’t actually “store” coins but manages the keys that let you access your funds on the blockchain.
There are two main types:
Hot Wallets: Connected to the internet (e.g., MetaMask, Trust Wallet)
Cold Wallets: Offline storage, safer from hacks (e.g., Ledger, Trezor)
Always back up your wallet and save your recovery phrase (12-24 words) somewhere safe. Never share it with anyone.
