What it can do
How the score breaks down
Each dimension is explained on the methodology page.
Where it is strong and where it is not
✓ Strengths
- Social recovery through guardians, so a lost phone is not a lost wallet
- Daily transfer limits that a thief cannot instantly override
- No seed phrase to lose
- Genuinely good mobile design
✗ Weaknesses
- Smart contract risk instead of key risk
- Guardians must be chosen carefully and kept current
- Limited chain coverage
Incident history
No security breach or significant incident on record.
Guardians are people or devices that can help you recover. Choose ones you will still be able to reach in two years.
Reputation and reviews
A reputation score out of 100, kept separate from the feature score above. It reflects what users actually report over time rather than a star rating scraped on one day.
REPUTATION
74/100
Pioneered social recovery, which genuinely solves the lost seed phrase problem. The trade off is that you depend on guardians and on smart contract code rather than a plain key.
Check current reviews yourself
Star ratings change constantly, so we link to the sources rather than printing a number that is out of date the day after it is written.
If something goes wrong
COMMON FIXES
Transaction stuck pendingYour transaction has sat as Pending for minutes or hours and nothing is moving.Transaction failed but the gas was still takenThe transaction reverted, you got nothing, and the fee left your wallet anyway.Token is not showing in my walletThe block explorer shows the tokens arrived, but the wallet shows nothing.I sent tokens to the wrong networkYou withdrew to your address but picked the wrong chain, and the balance is not where you expected.
RISK WARNING
Crypto assets are highly volatile and largely unregulated. You can lose everything you put in.
