Where to store your LPT
You will need somewhere to safely store your LPT coins once you purchase them.
While Kraken is secure, it’s always safest to keep your LPT in your own, private wallet, a software or hardware device that stores the public and private keys required to make crypto transactions.
When choosing a crypto wallet for your LPT coin, first spend some time thinking about what you plan to do with your tokens to find a wallet that fits your needs. Mobile and web wallets can make transactions easy, while hardware wallets are perhaps best suited for secure, long-term storage.
Livepeer is also a platform built on top of Ethereum, meaning LPT coins can be stored in any Ethereum wallet.
Kraken is not a wallet service
It is important to note that Kraken is an exchange and not a wallet service. While we allow our clients to hold Livepeer in their accounts, we highly encourage you to separate your LPT holdings into multiple wallets where you control the private keys.
