Cryptocurrency wallets can generally be categorized into several types based on their functionality, security, and the platform they support. Here are the main types of cryptocurrency wallets:

Hot wallets are wallets that are connected to the internet, making them easier to access and more convenient for day-to-day transactions. However, because they are connected to the internet, they are more vulnerable to hacking attempts.

• Software Wallets (Desktop, Mobile, Web)
  
  • These wallets store your private keys on your device and are accessible via apps or websites.
  • Examples: MetaMask, Exodus, Trust Wallet, Coinbase Wallet
• Web Wallets
  
  • Web-based wallets that you access through a browser. Your private keys are often stored on a server, controlled by a third party.
  • Examples: Blockchain Wallet, GateHub
• Mobile Wallets
  
  • These are apps you install on your smartphone. They offer convenience for frequent transactions.
  • Examples: Trust Wallet, XUMM Wallet, Coinomi

Cold wallets are wallets that are not connected to the internet, offering a much higher level of security. They are ideal for long-term storage of cryptocurrency and for holding significant amounts, as they are much less vulnerable to hacking.

• Hardware Wallets
  
  • These are physical devices that store private keys offline. They must be plugged into a computer or mobile device to make transactions.
  • Examples: Ledger Nano S/X, Trezor Model T/One, CoolWallet S
• Paper Wallets
  
  • A paper wallet is a physical printout of your public and private keys, often in the form of QR codes. These wallets are entirely offline and require careful handling to avoid losing or damaging the paper.
  • Example: Any wallet generator (such as bitaddress.org) can create paper wallets for various cryptocurrencies.

Custodial wallets are wallets where a third party (such as an exchange or wallet service provider) controls the private keys on behalf of the user. While they are more convenient, users do not have full control over their funds, and the provider can potentially access or freeze your funds.

• Examples: Coinbase Wallet, Binance Wallet, Gemini Wallet

XUMM Wallet is a non-custodial mobile wallet for the XRP Ledger (XRPL), allowing users to securely store, send, and manage XRP and other assets on the XRPL. Developed by XRPL Labs, it gives users full control over their private keys.

• Non-Custodial: You control your private keys.
• Multi-Asset Support: Supports XRP and other XRPL-based assets like stablecoins and NFTs.
• Security: Offers biometric authentication and secure transaction signing.
• User-Friendly: Easy to use interface for managing transactions and accounts.
