Editorial policy

Selection

We list only hardware wallets from manufacturers with:

• At least three years of track record
• Publicly available security documentation
• Active firmware maintenance
• Sales through their own webshop or authorised resellers

Manufacturers without independent security analysis or with a history of loss-causing incidents are not included.

Update frequency

All prices and specifications are reviewed at least every quarter. When a manufacturer launches a new model, we update within four weeks. When a model is discontinued, we mark it and link to the successor.

How we rank

Our star rating weights:

• Security (chip certification, open source, audit history): 40%
• Usability (display, app, setup): 25%
• Price relative to competitors: 20%
• Coin support: 10%
• Manufacturer track record: 5%

We publish the specific score breakdown on each review for full transparency.

Compensation

We earn commission via affiliate links when readers buy. We do not accept free hardware in exchange for positive coverage, and we have no paid placements. If that ever changes, we will disclose it clearly on the affected pages.
