Phantom Review: The Solana Wallet That Learned Ethereum, Base and Bitcoin
Phantom is free, fast and now spans Solana, Ethereum, Base and Bitcoin. We weighed its 0.85% swap fee, its missing custom networks and its hot-wallet risk against MetaMask and Rabby.
MetaMask Review: Still the Default EVM Wallet, but No Longer the Obvious Pick
MetaMask has the widest dApp compatibility in Ethereum, and now adds Bitcoin, Solana and Tron. We looked at its 0.875% swap fee, its security record and the wallets that now compete.
Trust Wallet Review: The Easiest Multi-Chain Wallet, With One Security Scar to Weigh
Trust Wallet covers 100+ blockchains in a free self-custody app, but its Chrome extension was backdoored in December 2025. We looked at ease of use, that incident and who should use it.
Exodus Review: A Beautiful Free Wallet Whose Swap Spread Is the Real Price
Exodus is the best-looking free multi-chain wallet, and it needs no ID to open. We weighed its 0.5% headline swap fee against the 2% to 5% independent reviewers measure, and its closed code against Trezor pairing.
Rabby Wallet Review: Clear Transaction Previews Make It the Safer Daily EVM Wallet, With Limits
Rabby shows what a transaction will do before you sign it, and flags risky contracts. We compared that with MetaMask, weighed an August 2026 extension bug and counted what the 0.25% swap fee costs.
Base App Review: A Self-Custody Wallet That Dropped Its Social Feed and Is Coinbase Wallet Again
The Base app spent a year as a social wallet, then reverted to the Coinbase Wallet name in September 2026. We assess it as self-custody software: what you hold, what swaps cost and what the social experiment left behind.
