When using a cold wallet, the private keys to access your cryptocurrency are stored on a physical device that is not connected to the internet.

To use a cold wallet, you simply plug the device into your computer or mobile device when you need to make a transaction.

Examples of popular cold wallets include Ledger Nano S, Trezor, and KeepKey.
