Cardano is 3rd ranked coin as per market cap. The current last 24-hour market cap is 91,023,402,998 USD and the price of 1 ADA token is 2.83 while writing.

Having a monopoly in the market is not good for the market and for users for sure.  By having one more competitor to Ethereum it is now a game that is played equally.

The transaction fee on the Ethereum network is too high for any simple transaction user has to pay up to 10 USD in the gas fee. It increases up to $300 for contract transactions.

We are not going deep into what is Cardano and what is Ethereum but in this article, we are going to learn how to create a Cardano paper wallet and what is the best Cardano paper wallet to store your ADA coins.

Why Use Paper Wallet To Store Cardano?

Paper wallets are considered the safest type of wallet to store any type of cryptocurrency because it allows you to have control over your account and you do not have to depend on someone else as we do in CEX exchanges already.

For more safety, you should create paper wallets offline instead of online, in this way you follow one more safety procedure. Creating an offline Cardano paper wallet can be a bit complex for newbies but not hard for other daily users.
