Burner wallet

Also written or said as: burner, burner wallets, throwaway wallet

A throwaway wallet holding only a small amount, used for risky sites and brand-new coins.

You connect the burner to anything new: a fresh launch, an unfamiliar site, a mint you are not sure about. If it gets drained, you lose only what was in it. Your savings sit in a separate wallet that never connects to anything risky.
