Frequently asked questions
What is a hardware wallet?
A hardware wallet is a small device that stores the private keys for your crypto offline and signs transactions on the device, so the keys are not exposed to your computer or phone.
Where should I buy a hardware wallet?
Only from the maker's official store (trezor.io, ledger.com, bitbox.swiss) or an authorised reseller the maker names. Never buy a pre-owned device or one whose packaging looks tampered with.
Should I ever type my recovery phrase into a website or app?
No. Legitimate wallets only ask you to enter or confirm your recovery phrase on the device itself during setup or recovery. Anyone asking for it online is trying to steal your funds.
Is this site affiliated with Trezor, Ledger or BitBox?
No. It is an independent directory. Some links are sponsored, which does not change what we write about the makers.
Which hardware wallet is best?
It depends on the coins you hold, how you want to use it and your budget. We list makers alphabetically and quote their own descriptions instead of ranking them. See the checklist.
