8 Best Hardware Wallets and Software

The SafePal S1 is the cheapest way into offline signing here, at $49.99 on the official SafePal store, with VAT and duty excluded. It has a 1.3 inch color screen, a camera, a 400 mAh battery, and an EAL6+ secure element, and it supports more than 200 blockchains. The device never connects to a phone or computer over a data link.

• You build a transaction in the app, the S1 scans its QR code, signs offline, and shows a signed QR code for the app to broadcast.
• That QR code workflow is the main trade-off.
• It keeps the keys away from any network, but it adds a scan at each step, with no Bluetooth or USB data link as a faster option.
• The closed-source firmware is a second limit for buyers who want independent code checks.

• A Bitcoin-only edition is also sold at $59.
• The Safe 3 uses a 20-word single-share backup by default, which differs from the 24-word phrase used by some other wallets.
• The two-button input and small screen make long addresses slow to check, and phone use needs a cable.
• Trezor stopped selling the older Model One and Model T through its own shop on 8 January 2026.

• The box includes the device, a USB-C cable, and three recovery sheets.
• The main limit is the lack of wireless links.

The Tangem Wallet is a credit-card sized NFC card wallet. The 3-card set costs $69.90 on the official Tangem store, while a 2-card set costs $59.90. Each card holds an EAL6+ Samsung secure element, and the keys are generated on the chip and never leave it.

• There is no battery, no cable, and no seed phrase by default.
• Instead, two or three cards hold the same wallet, so any single card gives full access, and an optional 12 or 24-word seed phrase can be added if you
• The Tangem app for iOS and Android is open source.
• The lack of a screen is the key point.

• The extra $70 over the Safe 3 buys comfort and a larger screen.

It comes in a Multi edition and a Bitcoin-only edition at the same price. It has a dual-chip design with a secure element, touch controls, and a small display for on-device confirmation.

• It connects by USB-C to a computer or Android phone, and it works with the free BitBoxApp, which also supports an optional encrypted card backup.
• The coin list is narrow by design.
• The Multi edition covers Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Cardano, and selected ERC-20 tokens, and Solana is not on the supported-coins list.
• The original BitBox02 also has no iOS support, which is the main reason the Nova exists, with iOS support and a stronger secure chip.
