Cold Storage

​Trezor and Ledger devices enable users to view coins without an internet connection or computer. In short, their hardware wallets are like keeping money in a home safe that’s only accessible via passphrases when physically using the safe. 

Trezor and Ledger provide hardware wallets that store cryptocurrency and tokens offline on physical USB-like devices. The cold wallets allow users to have full control over their private keys and assets. Unlike hot wallets, Trezor and Ledger devices enable users to view coins without an internet connection or computer. In short, their hardware wallets are like keeping money in a home safe that’s only accessible via passphrases when physically using the safe.
