Online wallets enable you to access crypto on your browser and desktop wallets are software programs that store your private keys on your personal computer’s hard drive. If your wallet is connected to the internet, this is also known as a hot wallet. Lastly, paper wallets (also known as cold wallets since they are never connected to the internet) allow users to print their public and private keys on a piece of paper.

If you are interested in reading more about how these processes work, Bitstamp is here to help you.
