Friends, in this digital world of crypto currencies, it is very easy for everyone to own crypto currencies, but it is quite difficult to safeguard them and keep them away from malicious actors. So it is very important for us to keep our digital assets safe from all these things. If we talk about the crypto wallets, we can say that the crypto wallets are the digital wallets where we store our crypto currencies. Also, they provide us with full control over our digital assets.

In this way, using these wallets, we can transfer, send, and receive digital currencies to our desired wallets. These wallets provide us with all types of security and transparency because most of them are based on decentralized technology and blockchain networks, which means their activities can't be controlled by a single authority. We have complete control over our assets, which we can transfer at any time to our desired ones.

These wallets can store all types of crypto currencies, including USDt, Ethereum, Steem tokens, and BTC as well. Also, they are very easily accessible and easy to install, as you just have to install them, create an account, save the password or private keys, and then your wallet is ready to use. Examples of these wallets are Coinbase, Binance, trezor, ledger, etc.

If we talk about the types of these wallets, then they can be found in two types, i.e., cold wallets and hot wallets. They both have different features, specifications, and levels of security. Let's discuss briefly the cold and hot wallets.

1. Hot Wallets:

• In hot wallets, we need to have an internet connection for validating transactions and performing other activities within the wallets. They can't run without the internet because they are organized and developed, like mobile applications and desktop applications or websites. In these wallets, the risks of theft, hacking, and fraud are present.

2. Cold Wallets:

• On the other hand, cold wallets are quite different from hot wallets because they can run without internet because they perform all activities offline, and their important keys are also stored offline, which means that they are more secure than hot wallets. So that is why we should prefer cold wallets over hot wallets.

key Management Strategies for crypto Wallets

Friends, as we know, the wallet keys are a specific cryptographic code that is required to grant access to your wallet in order to perform activities within it. And if you lose your keys, you will never get them back, which means that you will lose all your assets and funds that were present in that wallet. So it is very crucial to store your keys, especially the private key to your wallet, in a proper place because most activities rely on that key. Anyway, let's discuss how we should manage our keys.

• First of all, after signing in to a wallet, generate your private keys and then store them in a proper place. I recommend you keep them on your Google Drive.

• Secondly, generate several backups of your keys so that you can get access back in case you lose them or have other problems.

• If you want to invest in or hold a crypto currency for a long time, then I suggest you use hardware wallets because they are more safe than the other online wallets.

• Also, hardware wallets provide an extra layer of security by keeping your private keys offline, which means that they remain safe from theft and hackers.

What should we do when we lost access to our crypto wallets

It is also a very important aspect that sometimes we get into trouble, which may be in the form of losing access to or the private keys to our crypto wallets. It happens due to human errors, platform failures, and other malicious actors. So to deal with that kind of situation, we should follow the following steps to recover our crypto wallets:

• First of all, use the seed phrase to recover your wallet because the wallet, which is based on the BIP-39 standard, provides us with that phrase after signing up, which can be used to recover our lost wallet.

• So if you have that seed phrase, you can get your wallet back by just adding that phrase to it. If you don't have a seed phrase, more problems can arise.

• Also, try to contact the customer support of your wallet because most wallets provide that opportunity and then provide assistance in recovering our lost wallets.

• But if you remain unable to recover your wallet, then contact professionals in that field because they can provide guidance and help in getting your lost wallet back.

Conclusion

Friends, now a days everyone wants him to be involved in the digital world of crypto currencies through investing, staking, and trading, but in most cases, they forget to keep their assets safe by keeping their crypto wallets safe. Because these wallets are a place where they can store their assets, if they remain unable to make them secure, they face troubles, which can be in the form of the loss of digital assets by losing access to their wallets. So in that article, we have briefly discussed the crypto wallet, key management, and recovery strategies. I hope it will be helpful for you.
