How to Connect and Trade from Multiple Hardware Wallets at Once With Faast faast Follow May 9, 2019 · 3 min read

There’s a strong argument to be made that a hardware wallet represents the ideal combination of security and accessibility for digital assets. You get the benefits of cold storage, yet it’s very easy to connect your wallet to your computer and manage your holdings. For a long time though, there was a major setback to using hardware wallets: it was just too cumbersome to manage multiple wallets at once. But now there’s a solution: with Faast, you can connect multiple hardware wallets at the same time and manage your portfolio easier than ever before.

Once you try it, you’ll understand that Faast will be the last crypto portfolio management tool you’ll ever need.

The Problem With Hardware Wallets

Hardware wallets like those made by Trezor and Ledger are fantastic products. They allow you to securely store a variety of cryptocurrencies and, assuming you are responsible with keeping track of your passwords and recovery phrases, you’ll never have to worry about losing your funds or being hacked. If you have cryptocurrency that you just want to “HODL” and not touch for awhile, a hardware wallet is definitely the way to go.

But what happens if you do want to trade the assets you have stored on your hardware wallet?

You have to connect it your computer, send the assets to an exchange wallet (paying fees along the way) and then start trading to get the coins you want (paying more fees) and finally sending them back to your hardware wallet (paying a 3rd round of fees).

And of course, if you have your crypto holdings spread across multiple hardware wallets (which is probably a good idea) you’ll have to switch back and forth and connect and reconnect your wallets to find the coins you’re looking for. The next thing you know, several hours have gone by.

At some point you have to ask yourself: isn’t there a better way to do this?
