Cold Storage Explained

Understand key isolation, offline signing, and why secure transaction review remains essential even when credentials are kept offline.

Cold Storage Explained
🔐 Core principle: verify the source and environment before handling credentials or approvals.
01

The idea behind cold storage

Cold storage seeks to keep signing credentials away from online exposure. Turning off a phone connection alone does not make it equivalent to a dedicated hardware signer.

02

Review the transaction

Even when a signature is created offline, confirm the chain, destination and amount. The process used to transfer transaction details between devices also matters.

03

Choose for your needs

Long-term storage and frequent transactions involve different tradeoffs. Consider the backup, recovery and operational burden of any setup.
