Incident history
No security breach or significant incident on record.
Cosmos addresses differ per chain but derive from the same seed. Sending to the wrong chain prefix will fail rather than lose funds, which is a mercy.
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
78/100
The friendlier Cosmos alternative to Keplr, and increasingly the one newcomers are pointed at. Slightly less complete on governance tooling.

Star ratings change constantly, so we link to the sources rather than printing a number that is out of date the day after it is written.
