Cold storage

Cold storage is often discussed as a product category, but the complete arrangement includes how keys are created, where signing happens, and how recovery material is protected. A device alone does not establish that every step is isolated from exposure. This guide helps distinguish cold and hot setups while keeping custody responsibilities visible. Use it to think through how frequently you need to sign, whether you can verify transaction details, and where a backup fits into the plan. Compare convenience and operational effort alongside the risks you are trying to reduce. A setup is useful only if you can maintain it and recover it when circumstances change.
