By striking a balance between efficiency and security, SPV wallets provide a practical solution for everyday cryptocurrency users, offering the necessary security measures without the complexity and resource requirements of full node wallets.

Wallets using multi-signature setups may not be immediately affected, as long as the majority of participants agree on the chain to follow.
Offline
wallets generate addresses and private keys from a single seed. They can often switch to the new chain if they update to the compatible version, remaining functional on both chains post-fork.
Offline
Wallets: Wallets where users control their private keys, such as hardware wallets (e.g., Ledger, Trezor) and software wallets (e.g., Electrum, MyEtherWallet), usually remain unaffected. Users can choose which chain to support by selecting the appropriate software update.
Offline
Cold wallets store private keys offline, making them immune to network changes during a hard fork. Since these wallets aren’t connected to the internet, they aren’t automatically affected by the fork and can later be connected to claim tokens on either chain.

Multi-currency wallets are designed to support multiple blockchains. When a hard fork occurs, these wallets can often easily support both versions of the blockchain, allowing users to manage their assets on both the original and the new chain without issue
Offline
Users control their private keys in non-custodial wallets, meaning they own the underlying assets regardless of what happens during the fork. As long as they have their private keys or seed phrases, they can access both chains after the fork if they choose.
Offline
Non-custodial hardware wallets are not directly connected to the blockchain or dependent on a particular node for operations. These wallets store your private keys offline, so you retain control of your assets, regardless of changes in the blockchain's protocol. After a hard fork
Offline
Hardware wallets, such as Ledger and Trezor, store crypton keys offline on a physical device. They operate independently from the network and do not rely on a specific blockchain implementation [1]. As a result, they are generally not affected by hard forks.
Offline
n the event of a hard fork, some cryptocurrency wallets may not be affected, while others may be. The impact of a hard fork on a wallet depends on the type of wallet and its implementation.
Offline
Some wallets, such as uWallet in Utopia ecosystem, have built-in fork detection mechanisms that can detect and adapt to hard forks. These wallets are designed to automatically switch to the new chain, minimizing the impact of the hard fork on the user.
Offline
Lightweight wallets, such as Electrum or Mycelium, do not store the entire blockchain and instead rely on servers to provide the necessary information. They are less likely to be affected by hard forks, as they do not store the entire blockchain and can easily switch to a new chain.
Offline
Cold storage wallets, such as paper wallets or USB drives, are offline storage solutions that are not connected to the internet. They are not affected by hard forks, as they do not rely on online connections to function.
Offline
Ideal for holding cryptocurrencies long-term, cold wallets are less susceptible to market volatility and trading temptations.

Since they are offline, cold storage wallets are insulated from network changes like hard forks, preserving the integrity of the stored assets
