Best Grin wallets to store your GRIN

You can keep your GRIN on the exchange you purchased it on, or move it to a personal wallet:

• Some people like to use their own wallets to guarantee total ownership over their assets, or to use them with other applications like DeFi services.
• Hardware wallets are typically considered to be the safest type of cryptocurrency wallet, as they use a physical device to enhance security in a number of ways. You can take a look at some of our top hardware wallet picks for self-custody of your GRIN below.

Is Grin a good investment?

As with any investment, it is vital you understand the risks and potential upside of the asset before making any financial decision. With regards to GRIN, here are a few things you should consider:

• Proof-of-work concerns: As blockchain technology has evolved, more and more protocols are moving away from proof-of-work consensus mechanisms. There is a large portion of the community that believes PoW is outdated, has a negative impact on the environment and doesn’t properly promote decentralisation. Grin’s Cuckoo Cycle mining system is a proof-of-work process and is susceptible to the same issues other PoW protocols are.
• Privacy coin issues: The intentional opacity of the Mimblewimble privacy protocol can cut both ways. While it protects user privacy, it can also conceal bugs and other issues. Privacy coins might also be subject to sudden and unpredictable regulatory action due to their potential for being used criminally.
• Centralised distribution: The Cuckoo Cycle mining system was designed to make the mining scene a lot more egalitarian, but it’s also been dominated by heavy-handed venture capital investments from the start. Grin’s wealth distribution may end up being highly concentrated and controlled by whales.
