Once you’ve purchased an NFT, you’ll want to keep it safe.
There are two primary methods to secure an NFT:
- Software wallet. These are browser extensions or apps that can hold cryptocurrency and NFTs. You will need a wallet that is compatible with the blockchains you use. Popular software wallets include MetaMask for Ethereum, Phantom for Solana, and Xverse for Bitcoin.
- Hardware wallet. These are physical devices that can hold crypto and NFTs. Hardware wallets are offline devices, with the connected software wallet requiring all transactions must be confirmed via the device. Popular hardware wallet brands include Ledger, Trezor and NGRAVE.
Both methods utilise a variety of security features. These include the likes of seed phrases, PIN numbers, passwords, and QR codes.
