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
- Optional two of two multisig with a co-signer for theft protection
- Fully open source
- Works with Jade, Ledger and Trezor
- Liquid support
✗ Weaknesses
- Bitcoin and Liquid only
- Two of two means depending on Blockstream being reachable
- No dapp support
Incident history
No security breach or significant incident on record.
In the two of two setup you always hold a recovery path that does not need Blockstream. Make sure you have exported it.
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
79/100
Long running and well regarded. The optional two of two model with Blockstream as co-signer adds protection against device theft and adds a dependency, and both are true at once.
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Star ratings change constantly, so we link to the sources rather than printing a number that is out of date the day after it is written.
