Are you considering swapping from MetaMask to a new wallet?

I did some research on four #MetaMask alternatives so you didn't have to.

Let’s get started 👇🧵

The first is @GetBlockWallet, a self-proclaimed privacy focused wallet as seen on their website:

“You’re leaking IP address and other data to node providers. BlockWallet’s Privacy Proxies trim your personal data. It's a VPN for Web3.”

Next up is @TrustWallet, one of my favorite mobile wallets.

They were acquired by Binance a few years ago and have recently launched a bug bounty for their new browser extension.

The next up is @xDefi wallet.

I just found out about it from @ErikVoorhees, whom I respect for his #DeFi stance.

I did notice that they were not open source at the time, but they claim to be next year.

Lastly is @0xFrame, another self proclaimed privacy focused wallet as seen in their bio:

“A privacy focused Ethereum wallet that runs natively on macOS, Windows and Linux”

I was not compensated for sharing these 4 wallets, but I’m open to hearing offers.

👀 😏 Bear market ‘tings

But seriously, along with privacy-focused wallets, I recommend using a hardware wallet and never storing all of your funds in a hot wallet.

Stay safe out there fam 🫡

Which wallet from the list above is your favorite?

I'd love to hear from the community on this, and also any other wallets I might have missed.

Alright, lots of DMs shilling wallets so I will update the list.

For #5 we have @FrontierDotXYZ - I hadn’t heard of them, but their browser extension is in beta.

“We’re excited to release our browser extension wallet to beta users.”

For #6 we have @rainbowdotme

I’ve heard quite a lot of Rainbow, but I’ve never used them.

They are also jumping into the current MetaMask replacement narrative:

Next up is @Rabby_io wallet.

Rabby also themselves as a MetaMask competitor.

This is another new wallet to me but their UI/UX looks great and it’s multichain native.

Coming in at #8 we have @zerion_io Wallet - this will be another honorable mention.

Their tagline is: “Manage your DeFi and NFT portfolios, trade across 10+ networks and connect to any decentralized application with one wallet”

Another multichain native wallet.

At #9 is another classic alternative to MetaMask is the @brave Wallet.

Brave’s self proclaimed ethos has always been centered on trust and privacy.

I haven’t used Brave in a few years, but I’d be keen to give it another go.

At #10 is @CoinbaseWallet, which has a very clean UI/UX.

I've been a user of @coinbase for yrs and like their recent efforts in #DeFi and Regs.

@brianarmstrong has been know to be "conservative,” but the recent FTX shitshow taught us that we don't need degen exchange CEOs.
