A hot wallet is a cryptocurrency wallet that remains connected to the internet, providing immediate access to funds for transactions and trading. While convenient and user-friendly, hot wallets are more vulnerable to cyber attacks compared to offline storage solutions.
They are commonly used for day-to-day transactions, allowing users to quickly send and receive cryptocurrencies.
Users of hot wallets are advised to employ strong security measures such as two-factor authentication to mitigate risks.
