A hardware wallet provides the highest level of security for your crypto assets. It keeps your private keys offline (a concept known as "cold storage"), meaning they are physically isolated from internet-connected devices, protecting them from online hacks, malware, and phishing attempts.

Hot wallets (like exchange accounts or mobile apps) are always connected to the internet, making them convenient but vulnerable to online threats. Cold storage (like TriPylon hardware wallets) keeps your keys offline, offering superior protection against theft. It's best practice to use cold storage for long-term savings.

Losing the device is not the end of the world, provided you securely backed up your Recovery Phrase (Seed Phrase). You can use this 12/24-word phrase to restore access to your funds on a new TriPylon device or another compatible wallet. Always keep your Recovery Phrase written down and offline! Remember that TriPylon uses custom seed dictionaries that can be restored only on TriPylon devices.

Yes, TriPylon supports thousands of coins and tokens, including major ones like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and all ERC-20 tokens. We are continuously adding support for new chains. You can check the full list on our Docs page.
