Benefits of using the Xellar Card
Typically a hot wallet or non-custodial wallet like MetaMask and TrustWallet is susceptible to hacks. Private keys on hot wallets often store the private key on the local storage of your phone or computer, and accesses this private key in the case of signing a transaction.
However, because the phone or computer is also connected to the internet and open to viruses, these devices can be targeted, giving access to bad actors.
This is why cold storage, or cold wallets are often recommended for security purposes as these wallets are not connected to the internet and work in conjunction with devices such as a hot wallet. Xellar Card works the same, by storing the private key in a banking grade physical card, ensuring that in the case that any hacks occur, the physical card is required to sign a transaction.
