While there are many types of cryptocurrency wallets, hard wallets are praised for their ability to secure cryptocurrencies offline. Hard wallets store your public and private keys in such a secure way that a computer with malware could never compromise the security of your cryptocurrencies. They have additional intuitive features that make them by far the best wallets to secure huge amounts of cryptocurrencies.
The Nano S is packaged in a similar way to Apple products: high-quality items packaged in a minimalistic manner. The recovery phrase card is packed within the documentation envelope. The wallet looks like a flash drive. It has an ODEN screen and two buttons located on its side. The Nano S is unique because you use the buttons on the device to complete transactions. When sending any transaction, you can confirm the details on the screen easily.
Cryptocurrency transactions are verified and completed online. Hardware wallets, on the other hand, secure your coins offline. If you want to make any payment with your Ledger, you will need an app to help broadcast the transaction to blockchain for confirmation.
Ledger is built of a metallic case which makes it more durable. Trezor, on the other hand, boasts of supporting up to 15 apps at a time, meaning you don’t have to go through the hassle of uninstalling apps to use different coins.
Always purchase a hard wallet from the manufacturer to ensure it’s not tampered with by the time you receive it. Also, enlighten yourself on how to use the wallet before you attempt to complete any transaction.
