Where to Store Cryptocurrencies

There are many options to store your valuable cryptocurrency. You can keep your coins on an exchange after purchase for convenience but doing this prevents you from having full control of your cryptocurrency. What happens if an exchange wants to delist your coins or is hacked?

Mobile, desktop and browser wallets offer convenient access to your coins without relying on an exchange to hold your coins. With these wallets you must ensure your device (phone or computer) is secure before installation.

Lastly, hardware wallets offer the most security but cost money. They are the best option for those wanting to store a lot of value or want to hold for the long term.

Polkadot.js Browser Extension
This method provides a reasonable balance of security and convenience. It involves installing the polkadot.js plugin and using it as a “virtual vault," separate from your browser, to store your private keys. It also allows signing of transactions and similar functionality. It is still running on the same computer you use to connected to the internet with and thus is less secure than using Parity Signer or other air-gapped protocols.
