| Introduction |  BitBox02 The 'Bitbox02' by Shift Crypto is a Swiss-made general-purpose hardware wallet focusing on security and transparency. The wallet is straightforward to set up as it comes delivered with an SD Card that can be used as a backup method. The BitBox02 wallet supports many popular cryptocurrencies directly with its native Desktop and Android app BitBoxApp. The BitBox02 runs on open-source firmware, meaning anyone can verify the crucial source code of the wallet. The hardware wallet has a unique dual-chip architecture that allows the wallet to be both open-source and discretely protected by physical attacks by a secure chip at the same time, which makes it one of the most secure and transparent hardware wallets available on the market. |  Nano S Plus The 'Nano S Plus' by Ledger is arguably the most popular hardware wallet. With only a few exceptions, the Nano S Plus supports all cryptocurrencies & NFTs with Ledger's native 'Ledger Live' app that can be installed for free on your Desktop devices. Also, the Nano S Plus is one of the most established hardware wallets that is integrated in most apps, wallets, and exchanges. This hardware wallet does not run on open-source firmware as it implements a discrete secure chip that protects it from external hardware attacks. The Nano S Plus is a successor of the older model 'Nano S' which has been battle-tested by the crypto community for many years. |

| Opinion | BitBox02  86% Good /2024 The BitBox02 is pleasant to use on Desktop and Android devices and has the most straightforward set-up of all hardware wallets we have tested so far. Because of the uniquely secure and transparent architecture of the BitBox02, we recommend this wallet to anyone with a significant amount invested in crypto assets and who values above-average security for a moderate price. However, as the BixBox02 misses support for many altcoins, this hardware wallet may not be the best option for all hardcore altcoin fans. | Nano S Plus 94% Great /2024 The Nano S Plus by Ledger is a great all-rounder wallet with unbeatable value for money. Since the Nano S Plus supports almost all cryptocurrencies and can be used with most 3rd party crypto apps and software wallets, anyone that worries about compatibility is in good hands with Ledger's Nano S Plus.
Besides its small flaws such as a missing touch-screen, we highly recommend the Nano S Plus to all crypto & NFT users due to its great utility, solid security, and build quality for a cheap price. |
