Imagine your money is kept in an app on your phone. You can use it to buy things instantly, just like using Apple Pay. But because your phone is always connected to the web, a very smart thief might try to sneak into your phone through the internet. That's why you only keep a small amount in your 'hot' app and the big money in a 'cold' safe.
🤓 Expert Deep Dive
Technically, a hot [wallet](/es/terms/hot-wallet) stores its 'Private Keys' in a localized database on a device that possesses an active network interface. This includes 'Mobile Wallets' (iOS/Android), 'Desktop Wallets', and 'Web/Extension Wallets' (like MetaMask). The security of a hot wallet is entirely dependent on the security of the underlying Operating System. If the OS is compromised by a keylogger or a trojan, the keys can be extracted. To mitigate this, modern hot wallets use 'Biometric Encryption' and 'Secure Enclaves' (on high-end phones) to protect the keys even if the main processor is compromised.
