What Are Hardware Wallet Benefits?

Hardware wallets keep your private keys on a device that is not constantly connected to the internet. To sign a transaction, you confirm on the device itself. So even if your computer or phone has malware, the key is not exposed. They are durable and can be backed up with the seed phrase. The main benefit is security for larger amounts. Downsides: cost, need to keep the device safe, and slightly more steps to send. For significant holdings, the benefits usually outweigh the hassle.
