CRYPTO STORAGE

Crypto wallets, explained clearly.

Choosing a wallet is a decision about who controls your keys. Compare custody models, recovery and everyday usability before you decide how to store crypto.

Two decisions to make first.

Most wallet choices come down to who holds the keys, and whether they live on a dedicated device.

Custodial vs. self-custody

Custodial: a company (often an exchange) holds the keys for you. Easier to start; you rely on that company.

Self-custody: you hold the keys. More control, and full responsibility for your backup.

Hardware vs. software

Hardware: keys stay on a dedicated device that signs transactions offline. Costs money; reduces exposure to an infected computer.

Software: an app on your phone or computer. Free and convenient; exposed to that device's risks.

No wallet is risk-free. Phishing, a lost recovery phrase or a tampered device can all lead to losses.

What to check before you buy.

The criteria we use for every wallet review, so you can apply them yourself.

Key management

Who holds the private keys — you or a company — and how they are generated and stored.

Backup & recovery

How you get your funds back if a device is lost or damaged, and what you must keep safe.

Supported assets

Which coins and networks the wallet supports. Check yours specifically, not just the headline number.

Compatibility

Which phones, computers and apps it works with, and whether the companion software is maintained.

Price & where to buy

Buy only from the manufacturer or an authorised reseller. We publish prices only with a dated source.

Shipping & support

Whether the maker ships to and supports your country. We mark this per market once verified.
