Cold StorageHighest Security
Tangem wallets offer a unique card form factor with a built-in secure element chip. They are extremely user-friendly — just tap your card to your phone. Tangem supports KAS natively and is an excellent choice for storing Kaspa securely.
Cold Storage
Ledger hardware wallets (Nano S, Nano X, Stax) support Kaspa via the official Kaspa app in Ledger Live. This provides industry-standard cold storage with the security of Ledger's certified Secure Element.
For maximum cold storage security, a Kaspa paper wallet — a printed QR code of your private key — is an option. However, paper wallets are impractical for frequent use and carry risks of physical damage or loss. Only recommended for very long-term storage by experienced users.
