Highlights
Pros
- Built-in staking, governance voting, cross-chain swapping, and dApp browser accessible on both browser extension and mobile app.
- Encrypted private keys stored locally with multi-sig transaction approvals and biometric authentication for shared accounts.
- Dedicated validator dashboard and multisig tools purpose-built for DAOs, validators, and teams managing shared accounts.
- Supports 382+ blockchains including Cosmos, EVM, Bitcoin, and Starknet ecosystems from a single non-custodial interface.
- Fully open-source codebase on GitHub with a proven security track record — no breach or hack since launch.
Cons
- No dedicated desktop application; only available as browser extensions (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) and mobile apps for iOS and Android.
- Default wallet interface prioritizes lesser-known Cosmos ecosystem assets over major coins like BTC and USDT, which can confuse newcomers.
- Customer support relies on an AI bot initially, and live agents often provide impersonal, scripted responses without proper introductions.
- Does not natively support Solana, XRP, Cardano, or Sui — users must rely on complex bridging workarounds to access those assets.
- Fiat on-ramp process is cumbersome — users must select a gateway before seeing available payment methods, fees, or minimum amounts.
