In my last post<\/a>, I introduced you to the concept of a Cryptocurrency wallet outside of the CeFi experience of your CEXs. <\/span><\/p>\n This post will deal with my top 5 Cryptocurrency wallet recommendations that you can choose from.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Bear in mind that our review focuses on the mobile app versions of these wallets and not the browser extensions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ready to find out? Let’s go!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n MetaMask<\/a> was released in 2016 by ConsenSys. It is a software cryptocurrency wallet that helps interact with decentralized applications on the Ethereum blockchain. <\/span><\/p>\n Initially launched as a browser extension, the wallet is now available as a mobile app as well. They report over a million downloads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The wallet supports:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While an early front runner in the Web3 space, the MetaMask wallet is unfortunately not as loaded on features as some of the other wallets out there in the market. <\/span><\/p>\n However, it is fast and reliable, with many decentralized applications in sync. Hence, no list of software of cryptocurrency wallets is complete without them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n First released in 2017, the Company<\/a> was acquired by Binance in 2018 in a cash + stock deal. <\/span><\/p>\n The Company provides mobile applications for iOS & Android, enabling secure & encrypted storage of cryptocurrency and other digital assets in a self-custodial way. The Company reports having 25 million users.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The wallet supports 65 blockchains and 4.5 million plus assets. This includes thousands of cryptocurrencies & millions of NFTs. <\/span> They have a multi-coin wallet concept enabling support for all the main blockchains within the Ethereum ecosystem. These include ERC 20, ERC 721 & BEP2 tokens. Furthermore, the application also supports usage as a Bitcoin Wallet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Through the App, you can:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The most striking aspect of the app is the relative simplicity in its design, which makes it extremely user-friendly. <\/span><\/p>\n The experience is not too far off from what you would expect from your TradFi Bank’s mobile application. The DApp library is a huge plus in making the UX extremely comforting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Similar to Binance, Coinbase<\/a>, the US cryptocurrency exchange, also forayed into non-custodial wallets with its own solution dubbed Coinbase. Launched in 2018, the wallet supports multiple chains & thousands of digital assets, including cryptocurrencies and NFTs. <\/span><\/p>\n While the number of users is not readily available, it is understood that Coinbase.com has 98 million verified users. That gives you an idea that even if 10% of that user base is also a Coinbase wallet customer, the wallet has 10mn approx users.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Coinbase wallet allows you to:<\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Coinbase is a trusted name in the Cryptosphere & the wallet offering does not disappoint with a host of features that give more power to users. <\/span><\/p>\n The UX is smooth & the feel of the wallet is extremely easy on the eye. Most importantly, the wallet works in a low-fee environment with multiple chain support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Phantom<\/a> is a non-custodial wallet for the Solana blockchain. Developed by Phantom Technologies Inc and rolled out as a mobile app, the wallet started out as a browser Extension before the mobile app version was rolled out in Q1 of 2022. <\/span><\/p>\n While a recent estimate of their user base is not available, it is understood that even before the launch of the mobile app version, the Company boasted 1.8 million users.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Phantom wallet allows you to:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It is understood that the wallet will soon offer compatibility for Ethereum, increasing its diversity.<\/span><\/p>\n While this is not confirmed but a Solana-powered smartphone also opens up opportunities for Phantom to be the software interface that connects with the hardware wallet inside the phone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Solana<\/a> blockchain and ecosystem are relatively new and growing at a fast pace. The phantom wallet gives access to the Solana ecosystem in a fast, user-friendly, and reliable manner. <\/span><\/p>\n The overall visual feel and the functionality are very exciting and with the low-cost fee structure on the Solana blockchain, the Phantom wallet is a sure winner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n1.
