Air-gapped storage refers to a method of securing cryptocurrency wallets by keeping them completely isolated from the internet. This approach reduces the risk of hacking and malware attacks, as it eliminates any online connectivity.Typically, an air-gapped wallet is stored on a device—such as a computer or hardware wallet—that is never connected to the internet. Users will create and manage their wallet offline, generating keys and signing transactions without any exposure to online threats.For transferring funds, users may have to use a separate, secure process. This usually involves generating a transaction file on the air-gapped device and then transferring that file to an online device via a USB drive or other physical means. The online device can then broadcast the transaction to the network.This method offers a high level of security, making it a popular choice for individuals or organizations that hold large amounts of cryptocurrency and want to minimize the chances of theft or loss.
