Cold Storage 101

New to crypto self-custody? Cold Storage 101 is your starting point. We’ll show you why exchanges put your crypto at risk and how cold storage puts you in control. In a few simple steps, you’ll learn how to secure your keys the right way — safely, offline, and truly yours.

Crypto on Exchanges vs Cold Storage

Stored on Crypto Exchange

  • Easy to access from your phone or computer
  • Managed by third-party company (like Coinbase or Binance)
  • Your crypto is pooled with others
  • You don't own the wallet keys
  • At risk if exchange is hacked or freezes your account
Recommended

Cold Storage

  • Stored offline, safe from online hacks
  • You own and control the wallet
  • Can't be frozen or seized by third parties
  • Best for long-term holders
  • Backed up using a secure method like a seed phrase

Zero To Secure™ makes cold storage simple — so you control your crypto like a pro, without needing to be one.

Why Most Cold Storage Options Fall Short

🧾

Paper Isn't Protection

  • Easily destroyed by water, fire, or time
  • Misplaced or thrown away too easily
  • Minimal security method
🔩

Complicated Plates Can Backfire

  • Letter tiles and washers fall out of order
  • Hammer kits are loud, dangerous, and easy to mess up
  • Most cheap plates online warp or rust
✏️

Weak Engraving = Weak Security

  • Many pens barely scratch the surface
  • No deep mark = no real protection
  • Zero To Secure tools leave deep, permanent marks that last for decades
💾

Devices Can Still Fail

  • QR/Nano wallets still rely on digital parts
  • If hacked or lost, your wallet is gone
  • Most are not fireproof, waterproof, or offline. One accident could result in losing your crypto permanently.
