Hot Wallet

Definition of Hot Wallet

A hot wallet refers to a cryptocurrency wallet that is always connected to the internet. It facilitates token transactions between users. A hot wallet allows you to store, send, and receive tokens.

How Hot Wallets work

When you want to enter the world of crypto, you have to set up a wallet to facilitate transactions.

When setting up a wallet, you’re given private keys to identify that it actually belongs to you. The public key of a wallet is similar to a bank account number;  they identify the wallet so that the user can receive tokens without revealing their identity. Private keys are similar to personal identification numbers; they allow you to access the wallet and check balances, initiate transactions, and much more. Without either of these keys, the wallet is effectively useless.
