A hot wallet is a type of cryptocurrency wallet that is connected to the internet, allowing for quick and easy access to funds. Hot wallets are commonly used for day-to-day transactions and trading due to their convenience. However, their constant connection to the internet makes them more vulnerable to hacking, phishing, and other cyber threats compared to cold wallets, which are stored offline. Hot wallets can be software-based, such as mobile or desktop apps, or web-based, hosted by online platforms. Users should take precautions, such as enabling two-factor authentication, to enhance the security of their hot wallets.
