If you have experience with Bitcoin, and even if you’re just starting out, you probably know that there are a variety of Bitcoin wallets available. There are web based wallets such as Mycelium and AirBitz, and there are desktop wallets like Electrum and MultiBit, and finally there are hardware wallets like the Trezor and Ledger Nano S. And they all serve the purpose of storing your Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.
The KeepKey hardware cryptocurrency wallet is one of the newer additions to the world of hardware wallets for storing Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Currently the wallet can be used to store Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Testnet, DASH, and Namecoin. This isn’t a huge list of coins, and other hardware wallets can support a broader variety of altcoins, but it is a good selection of the most heavily traded coins. Note too that in February 2018 KeepKey announced support for ERC-20 tokens in the beta version of its client.
