Using a Cold Wallet

Cold storage of your crypto assets gives you another layer of protection from theft as each transaction needs to be confirmed through the cold wallet itself unlike hot wallets.

Keeping high value assets in a cold wallet

It is highly recommended to keep your high value digital assets behind another layer of protection by using a "cold wallet".

This extra level of security requires you to confirm an additional secret code that you confirm on the device itself. The codes randomize with each use and would give you added protection even if your seed phrase is compromised.

NFT security in one thread

Another great account to follow on Twitter is @osf_nft who posted this great thread on cold storage wallets, what they are, how they work and why you should use one.

Set Alerts: Be sure to set alerts for the Security accounts you follow to stay up-to-date with the latest security breaches.
