The fact that a cold wallet can't be frozen is amazing. What exactly is a cold wallet, if I may ask? I have a suspicion that it doesn't include wallets like Trezor or Ledger. What about Exodus?
A cold wallet is essentially any way to store your cryptocurrency
offline. Hardware wallets like Trezor and Ledger are actually perfect examples of cold wallets. They keep your private keys offline and only connect to the internet when you need to make a transaction.
Exodus, on the other hand, is primarily a software wallet that's usually connected to the internet, making it a "hot wallet." However, Exodus can be used with hardware wallets for added security.
The main types of cold wallets are hardware wallets, paper wallets (where you print out your keys), and software wallets on completely offline (air gapped) computers.
The big advantage of cold wallets is that they're much harder to hack since they're not continuously connected to the internet. This is why they can't be easily touched, there's no online connection for anyone to interfere with.
Importantly, if you're using a cold wallet correctly, you're the sole custodian of your funds. This means you alone determine who gets access to your wallet and your crypto.
