ReviewStarter hardware wallet
Score 4.2 of 5. 4.2A solid first device if you want keys offline and can store a recovery phrase properly.EasyCryptoGuides ·
ReviewModern software wallet (category)
Score 3.8 of 5. 3.8Fine for small balances and learning, if you practise recovery and treat every signature as real. Not a substitute for a hardware device once the number would ruin your month.EasyCryptoGuides ·
