Wallets store private keys to coins stored on Bitcoinâs decentralized public ledger. Private keys allow you to verify that you own the coins on Bitcoinâs ledger. Bitcoin is divisible up to 8 decimal points, meaning private keys can also store fractions of coins.
There are many different types of wallets, including paper, exchange / hosted, and hardware wallets. Every kind of wallet has pros and cons associated with them.
For example, paper wallets are the most secure of all the wallets as it has removed the private key from any access to the internet or devices connected to the internet.
Hardware wallets similarly only allow transactions to be verified locally on the storage drive, preventing the device connected to the internet from accessing the private keys.
Hosted or Exchange wallets are stored on a private server hosted by the exchange. They usually keep multiple userâs private keys in several exchange wallets synced but not linked to the userâs account. Your account doesnât store the private key, but the exchangeâs private server does. Exchanges take great care with security but are still vulnerable to malicious attacks, making them less secure than hardware or paper wallets but more user-friendly.
Computer or local node wallets are stored in wallet interfaces such as Exodus that run on the userâs computer. A 12-word phrase is usually required to access the wallet. Local Node wallets encrypt and stores your private keys locally. This method is less secure than hardware or paper wallets but arguably more secure than hosted or exchanged wallets. However, theyâre still susceptible to malicious attacks by users with access to your computer.
