What is a Hardware Wallet?
A hardware wallet is a physical crypto storage device that stores your private keys offline, preventing anyone from gaining unwanted access to your assets remotely.
Connecting your Xverse wallet with a Keystone Pro hardware wallet adds a layer of security to the Bitcoin assets you’re managing using your Xverse app.
Offline storage
Because hardware wallets operate offline, they’re more secure and resistant to cyberattacks like keyloggers, malware, and phishing. That’s why anyone prioritizing long-term storage of their crypto assets should consider getting a Keystone Pro wallet.
