Is it right for you?

Is this the right wallet for you?

A good fit if

You prefer exchanging transactions by QR code and want a large touchscreen. You already have a compatible wallet app in mind.

Consider another model if

You want the same connection to work with every app or asset. Support depends on the app, asset and installed firmware; check the exact route before choosing.

Worth comparing

Check compatibility with your phone or computer.

Check the app and connection for each device. Setup and transaction signing are confirmed separately.
