Wallets & Custody

Safe's contracts have never been broken. In February 2025 attackers stole roughly $1.5 billion from a Safe anyway, by compromising what the signers were looking at. That distinction is the most important security lesson of the decade.

Trezor's argument has always been verifiability: if you cannot read the firmware, you are trusting a company. With the Safe series that argument no longer costs you physical security.

Rabby answers the question every wallet should and almost none do: what will this transaction actually do to my balances, and which part of it is dangerous?

Phantom is the rare crypto product where the design work went into preventing mistakes rather than increasing engagement. The simulation screen alone justifies installing it.

Ledger makes the best-protected consumer signing device you can buy, and has repeatedly demonstrated that the device is not the only part of the system you have to trust.

Tangem removes the seed phrase, which is the cause of most self-custody losses. What it puts in its place is a set of cards you must not lose, and a phone screen you must trust.

MetaMask's dominance is a network effect, not a product victory. It is compatible with everything, it charges nearly 0.9% if you swap inside it, and it is still a key stored in a browser.

Trust Wallet's answer to 'does it support this chain' is almost always yes. That is genuinely useful and it is also why your token list will fill up with things designed to rob you.

Exodus spends its design budget beautifully and funds it with a conversion spread that costs users more than a hardware wallet would. For a closed-source hot wallet, that is a hard combination to recommend.
