# Hardware Wallets

> *<mark style="color:orange;">**Not your keys, not your coins. You need a hardware wallet.**</mark>*

A hardware wallet, also known as a cold wallet, is a physical device created solely for offline storage of cryptocurrency private keys. Storing your bitcoin in a hardware wallet is also known as cold storage or self-custody.

A hardware wallet is a digital device whose sole purpose is to generate and store public & private keys and sign transactions. Hardware wallets allow users to send and receive Bitcoin in a secure fashion. Hardware wallets are a form of cold storage, meaning that they allow a user to keep their private keys safely disconnected from the internet. Some of the popular hardware wallets are Trezor, Bitkey by Block, Blockstream Jade, Bitbox etc. They usually look like a small USB stick and are often controlled using a web browser on your computer. Hardware wallets ensure that your private keys are kept offline, away from the reach of online threats like hackers, malware, and phishing attacks.
