Compare hardware wallets that keep the private keys for your crypto assets on a dedicated device. With self-custody, you rather than a company are responsible for the keys and the recovery phrase, and losing them can mean permanent loss of funds.
Advertising disclosure: This page contains partner links. Squaby may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Partner links do not change a score.
Each hardware wallet is scored with Squaby's hardware wallet methodology version 1.0: 41 criteria in 7 weighted categories, each with a published point rule. Only wallets with evidence for at least 80% of the possible points are ranked.
Places are decided by the exact score before rounding. Two wallets shown with the same number can therefore hold different places.
Partner links do not change a score: points come only from the recorded facts and the published point rules, and a score is not a recommendation.
Scores rest on public documents and records, not on a lab test of the devices. Prices are shown for reference and are not scored; prices, firmware and availability change, so verify them on the manufacturer's official site before buying.
