Great for beginners. Mobile + browser extension, wide support.

Offline device that signs transactions. Best for larger balances and long-term holding.

Simple desktop/mobile wallet with clean design.

Download the official app/site only. Verify the URL and publisher.

Write down the seed phrase on paper (never screenshots).

Enable a strong passcode and biometric where available.

Turn on app-based 2FA for accounts you’ll connect.

Test with a tiny transfer first. Confirm you can send/receive.

Backups & Seed Phrase

Store 1–2 paper copies in separate safe places; consider a metal backup. Never type the phrase into websites.

Sending to the Right Chain

Always match the network (e.g., ETH → Ethereum). If unsure, send a tiny amount first.

Phone & Email Lockdown

Use an authenticator app, unique passwords, and a carrier PIN.

When to Use Hardware

Move savings to a hardware wallet; keep spending money in hot wallets.

Which wallet for a total beginner?

Start with Coinbase Wallet or Exodus. Add a Ledger for savings if you plan to hold more.

Can I use more than one wallet?

Yes—hot wallet for daily use, hardware wallet for long-term storage.

What if I lose my phone?

Restore with your seed phrase on a new device—keep backups safe.
