Let’s start with the most common question from beginners: “Which crypto wallet is the safest?”
There is no definitive answer to this question. Because the security of wallets depends 99% on the user himself and his actions.
If you sign a transaction on a scammer’s website, even a hardware wallet will not save you.
Therefore, you should not pay attention to negative reviews about Metamask, Trust Wallet, and other wallets.
Negative reviews on wallets are written by people who have lost their money due to their mistake, and blamed the wallet.
Although the wallet simply serves as an interface for working with your assets through private keys. And the private keys are located on the device where the wallet itself is installed.
Returning to the question of which wallet to use.
Personally, I use four wallets on a regular basis – Metamask, Core Wallet, Frame, and Safe.
These wallets cover all my needs for working with DeFi instruments.
Each wallet has certain functions and advantages that are necessary for my work.
For example, Core Wallet has a built-in bridge for transferring BTC from the main network to the Avalanche network.
But if you are a beginner and just starting to get acquainted with cryptocurrency and DeFi, then downloading Metamask is enough for you. It will suffice for the time being.
Instead of Metamask, you can try Rabby Wallet. A good option for beginners.
As you gain knowledge and skills, you will begin to understand which wallets you lack based on your requests.
Therefore, the most important thing is to focus on your requests and assets in the portfolio when choosing a wallet.
Metamask/Rabby Wallet + Core Wallet will cover most of the current DeFi instruments.
For working with networks such as Solana, Sui, Cosmos, you will have to install other wallets.
But this can be avoided through Metamask Snaps. These are like browser extensions, only they will be in Metamask itself.
