A paper wallet is a physical document that contains the private and public keys of a cryptocurrency wallet, usually presented as printed text or QR codes. This method offers a secure form of cold storage by keeping the keys completely offline.
Paper wallets are created using secure processes and must be stored carefully to avoid loss, damage, or theft.
They are an affordable and highly secure way to store cryptocurrencies for long-term investment, though they require careful handling.
