Why a hardware wallet?

Bitcoin, Ethereum and the rest of the crypto ecosystem have become a serious asset class. Bigger holdings mean bigger risk: software wallets keep your private keys on a device with internet access, and that device is exposed to malware, supply-chain attacks and phishing.

A hardware wallet moves your private keys off the computer and into an isolated chip, often a certified Secure Element. When you sign a transaction, you confirm physically by pressing a button or tapping a touchscreen. Even if your computer is compromised, your coins cannot move without your physical consent.

It is the simplest way to move custody from an exchange to yourself. Not your keys, not your coins, as the saying goes.

How we pick

We list devices from makers with a documented track record and open security analysis. Each model lists:

  • Price in original currency plus an approximate DKK figure
  • Which Secure Element chip it uses, and whether the firmware is open source
  • Supported coins and tokens
  • Connectivity, including Bluetooth, NFC and iOS support
  • Which kind of user the device fits best

We re-check prices against each maker’s own shop and verify chip data with the certification authority. Last checked: 26 April 2026.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is a hardware wallet?

A hardware wallet is a small device that stores your private keys offline. When you make a transaction, it is signed physically on the device, and only the signed transaction leaves the device. Even if your computer is full of malware, your coins cannot move unless you physically confirm it on the hardware itself.

Where does the device store my coins?

It does not. Your coins live on the blockchain, not on the device. The hardware wallet stores the private key (or a seed of 12, 20 or 24 words) that gives you access to the addresses. If you lose the device, you can restore access on a new one with your seed.

What is the difference between Bitcoin-only and multi-coin?

A Bitcoin-only device (typically a Coldcard or BitBox02 BTC-only edition) can only be used for Bitcoin. That reduces the attack surface, because the firmware is smaller and contains no code for handling other chains. A multi-coin device can hold Ethereum, Solana, XRP and thousands of other tokens.

What does Secure Element CC EAL6+ mean?

A Secure Element is a chip designed specifically to resist physical attacks and side-channel analysis. CC EAL6+ is a Common Criteria certification level, where 7 is the highest practically achievable. Passports, payment cards and SIM cards use the same chip type. EAL6+ chips ship in the Ledger Flex, Stax, Nano S Plus and the Trezor Safe 3 and Safe 5.

Should I pick open source or closed source firmware?

Open source (Trezor, BitBox, Coldcard) lets independent researchers audit the code, but only matters if those researchers actually do. Closed source (Ledger) reaches certifications by keeping attack details private. Both approaches have a zero-track-record of compromised private keys so far. Pick the philosophical starting point you prefer.

Where do I buy a genuine hardware wallet?

Buy direct from the manufacturer's own shop, or from an authorized reseller. Buying on Amazon Marketplace or eBay has documented cases of devices with compromised seeds. The makers ship in tamper-evident packaging, but that is not a guarantee if the device has been opened and resealed.

Will I pay customs when buying from the US or Switzerland?

Yes. Coldcard ships from Canada and BitBox from Switzerland. Both are outside the EU, and EU buyers pay VAT plus a customs fee. Ledger and Trezor ship from inside the EU (France and the Czech Republic), so no extra cost.

How long does a hardware wallet last?

Manufacturers typically support firmware updates for 5 to 10 years after launch. The Trezor Model One, for example, gets security updates until at least 2036. The hardware itself lasts longer, and you can always migrate to a new device by entering your seed.
