Hardware Wallet | Vibepedia

A hardware wallet is a physical device designed to store cryptocurrency private keys securely, offering an alternative to software wallets like MetaMask and online exchanges like Coinbase. By keeping keys offline, hardware wallets protect against hacking and cyber threats, as seen in the 2014 Mt. Gox breach. Companies like Ledger and Trezor have popularized hardware wallets, with models like the Ledger Nano X and Trezor Model T.
