Throughout my journey in Web3, the word "#HardwareWallet (HW)" has been chanted when it comes to security.

However, no one really explains on wallet management to obtain the "best" security.

I would cover a few FAQs with hope that it would help with your NFT management. ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿฝ
2/ Let's first clear up some definitions

#HotWallet - Wallet that interacts with smart contracts. For minting & trading.

Burner Wallet - Wallet for Free/Stealth Mint or interacting with unverified websites/contracts.

#ColdWallet - NFT Vault. NO INTERACTION with smart contracts
3/ What about software (SW) & hardware wallets?

The main difference with HW, is how the seed phase is entered:

HW: on the device itself -air gap from internet
SW: on phone/PC - has internet connection

Hence, should there be malware on the pc, a seed phrase leak could happen.
