# Hardware Wallets

Hardware wallets are known for their security. These wallets store funds offline. Hardware wallets currently only support transparent addresses. Users must make a security and privacy tradeoff when using hardware wallets.
A hardware wallet is a special type of wallet that stores the user's private keys in a secure hardware device. The private keys never leave the device, ensuring that there is no risk of losing funds even if the device is exposed to a potentially infected computer. Hardware wallets offer the security of a cold wallet or paper wallet but with the benefit of accessibility similar to hot wallets.
