A hardware wallet is a tangible electronic tool created to safely keep the private keys for your digital blockchain assets. Unlike software wallets (like those on smartphones or computers), hardware wallets are immune to computer viruses and are not permanently connected to the internet, making them less vulnerable to hacks and unauthorized access.

We recommend using a hardware wallet like Ledger. To enhance its usability (yet keeping a high level of security) when interacting with dApps like Primex with a convenient user interface, you may consider pairing your device with a hot wallet like MetaMask. To learn how to do so, please see How to connect your Ledger hardware wallet to Primex.
