Step 8: Store Kuma Inu Coins securely on a digital or hardware crypto wallet

After buying Kuma Inu coins or any other cryptocurrency, you must store them securely on a trusted digital or hardware crypto wallet. Some of the trusted digital wallets to store your Kuma coins securely are Trust Wallet, Metamask, etc. 

These wallets are more reliable and secure than the in-built wallets on the crypto trading platforms as they don’t store your private keys on their server. The private keys are encrypted with a password to avoid phishing or hacking attempts. 

To use these wallets, you have to:

• Download them from their official website, 
• Sign up with your details and set up a password
• Start storing and trading your favorite cryptocurrencies

But, if you have a large crypto portfolio to maintain, the safest way is to use hardware crypto wallets, often referred to as cold storage. These wallets are USB-enabled small plug-in devices that keep all your crypto information offline to avoid hacking incidents. 

You get a private key with each hardware wallet that you can note down somewhere offline safely, and every time you want to trade crypto, you have to access the wallet using that key. The crypto information is shared on the blockchain network only at the time of trading and thus 100% safe & confidential. 

Some of the best hardware crypto wallets available in the market are:

1. Ledger Nano X
2. Trezor One
3. Ledger Nano S
4. Ellipal Titan

These hardware wallets are pretty straightforward to use. All you have to do is:

• Download their supported software from their official website and set up the wallet with the private key.
• Copy the wallet address and paste it into the crypto trading platform to transfer your crypto portfolio.
• Store or trade on the platform whenever needed.

What is Kuma Inu Token, and Why should you invest in it?

Kuma Inu is a native and community-focused meme token of Kuma’s popular decentralized exchange platform. The coin is used in the Kuma breeder yield farming protocol, where breeders can deposit their meme coins and earn passive income and rewards. Kuma breeder offers a fresh approach for farming $dKuma tokens. 

Kuma decentralized exchange is a virtually automated market maker (vAMM) based perpetual contracting trading platform (currently in its development mode). It means that traders can exchange meme coins like SHIB, AKITA, ELON, KUMA, etc., without liquidity and swap. 

As there is no liquidity provider on vAMM-based platforms, traders come with the same currency, profit/loss occurs in that currency, and they leave with the same coin. Unlike traditional AMMs, people can trade perpetual futures contracts utilizing the constant product market maker formula with up to 25x long or short leverage. 

As $dKuma is the primary utility token of the Kuma DeX platform, you can use it for various purposes, like:

• Allow holders to participate in farming in the Kuma breeder.
