9 | | -Burner hardware wallets are temporary, disposable devices designed for secure cryptocurrency storage and transactions over short periods. These wallets prioritize security through isolation and limited exposure, making them ideal for quick transactions, testing environments, or situations where long-term storage is not required. |
| 9 | +Burner hardware wallets are affordable, credit-card-sized crypto wallets designed for gifting and everyday use. Built with the same secure chip technology found in premium devices like Ledger or Trezor, Burner cards eliminate the complexity of traditional hardware wallets by removing seed phrases, apps, and complicated setup processes. |

11 | | -Unlike traditional hardware wallets that are designed for long-term storage, burner hardware wallets are intended to be used briefly and then discarded or reset. This approach minimizes security risks by reducing the attack surface and exposure time of private keys. They are particularly popular in the Ethereum ecosystem and other EVM-compatible blockchain networks. |
