After multiple exchange collapses (FTX, Celsius, etc.), self-custody is more important than ever.

Hardware Wallet Options:

  • Ledger Nano X/S Plus
  • Trezor Model T/One
  • Coldcard (Bitcoin-only, maximum security)
  • Keystone (air-gapped, QR code based)

Best Practices:

  1. Use a hardware wallet for long-term holdings
  2. Write seed phrase on metal (fire/water resistant)
  3. Consider multi-sig for large amounts
  4. Test recovery process BEFORE you need it
  5. Never store seed phrases digitally
