Choosing the right hardware wallet to secure your crypto is one of the most important decisions you must make in your path as a crypto investor.

Hardware wallets are one of the many types of wallets available in the market. Hot and cold wallets, as well as light wallets, are extra storages that serve as a tool to save your funds. No matter which wallet you choose, it's important you research each and one of them properly.

Hardware wallets are often the go-to for many crypto holders, as they allow you to store your funds in a USB sized device. On those devices, you will store all your private keys in a protected microcontroller without worrying about not having a backup or about being hacked.

Questions such as which is the best hardware wallet to use or which is the most secure one, are repetitively within inexperienced cryptocurrency users. That's why in the following paragraphs we will be covering some of the best hardware wallets tested.

LEDGER NANO X

The Ledger Nano X is one of the most recognised hardware wallets in the crypto space. Security and compatibility made Nano X a top performer in the market.

The ledger is mobile compatible (by Bluetooth) and is able to store more than a hundred apps and more than 1000 cryptocurrencies. Nano X's easy-to-use features and of course, its size, are also key elements to take into account.

Among other features that boost the popularity of this ledger are: expandable memory, high-resolution screen,  compatibility with iOS and Android. However, the best characteristics of the winner of the CES 2019 Innovation Honoree Award is that for the surprise of many, its price is pretty affordable and not too far from its previous model.

LEDGER NANO S

The Nano S is also one of the rulers inside the crypto space, with over a million dollars in sales and availability in 165 countries. The multi-apps and multi-currency ledger was one of the first CSPN certified wallets and have been in the market since 2016.

Ledger partnered with BOLOS to include a unique security system in this model. The proprietary mechanism is strongly bulletproofed to avoid non-authorised uses. Built-in display and Backup & Restoration mechanisms are some of the extra features this outstanding wallet has.

LEDGER BLUE

The 2016 version of the Ledger series was crown of the most advanced wallets in the market. Blue Ledger price is not the best feature, as it quite high compared with Nano S and Nano X, but the multiple-apps device definitely worth it.

The high level of security provided by the wallet alongside its user-friendly operating system is some of the most relevant features. The wallet is also compatible with smartphones and includes recovery mechanisms as well as multiple authentication processes.

TREZOR ONE & TREZOR MODEL T

Trezor One was one of the pioneers inside the markets and keeps maintaining its status. The wallet supports more than 40 cryptocurrencies and ERC-20 tokens. It also includes FIDO U2F support and an easy-to-use interface.

The ONE model was launched by SatoshiLabs in 2014, from then on, users have loved the experience. Compare with Nano S and Nano X, Trezor is slightly more affordable.

The Model T (2018) is Trezor One successor and worth a look as well. Trezor T is currently supporting over 40 cryptocurrencies (including ERC-20 tokens) and has a full-colour and high-quality screen that combines perfectly with its interface.  

The password manager includes a new operating system, Trezor Core, which allows extra cryptocurrency support.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
