Supported wallets
Moonlet’s self-custodial staking dashboard is designed to work seamlessly with both hot and cold wallets, giving users flexibility, security, and full control over their assets.
What is a Hot Wallet?
A hot wallet is a software-based wallet connected to the internet. It enables convenient access to blockchain applications such as staking, transfers, and decentralized apps (dApps). While highly accessible, hot wallets are more exposed to online threats and are best suited for smaller balances or frequent transactions.
Examples:
-
MetaMask (currently supported)
-
Others like Phantom or Keplr are under consideration for future support.
What is a Cold Wallet?
A cold wallet is a hardware or offline wallet that stores your assets securely without being connected to the internet. Cold wallets are ideal for long-term holding and managing high-value assets, as they minimize the risk of online exposure.
Examples:
-
Ledger (currently supported)
-
Trezor (support coming soon)
Why Wallet Choice Matters
Choosing between a hot or cold wallet depends on your specific needs:
-
Use a hot wallet for quick, frequent staking actions and convenience.
-
Use a cold wallet for maximum security and peace of mind with long-term holdings.
All staking operations on Moonlet are executed directly from your wallet, ensuring you maintain full custody and control of your assets at all times.
