Electrum
electrum.org BitcoinLong-standing Python-based Bitcoin wallet with good security features. Private keys are encrypted and do not touch the internet and balance is checked with a watch-only wallet. Compatible with other wallets, so there is no tie-in, and funds can be recovered with your secret seed. It supports proof-checking to verify transactions using SPV, multi-sig, and add-ons for compatibility with hardware wallets. A decentralized server indexes ledger transactions, meaning it's fast and doesn't require much disk space. The potential security issue here would not be with the wallet, but rather your PC - you must ensure your computer is secure and your wallet has a long, strong passphrase to encrypt it with.

-

-
swaps: expand docstring for reverse_swap
-
swaps: fix get_swap_by_funding_tx, and types/type-hints - funding txs having only one output is not true... - batch_rbf can combine funding txs
-
lnworker.check_mpp_status: add docstring This explains why stopping_soon behaves sanely with hold-invoice-htlcs.
-
swaps: use longer final_cltv_delta for client-normal-swap This gives more time for the client to come back online. see https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/8940 - re note on submarine_swaps.py#L53: lnpeer.Peer.maybe_fulfill_htlc only checks against MIN_FINAL_CLTV_DELTA_ACCEPTED(=144), so this increased cltv_delta is not enforced when receiving the htlc on ln. It is put in the invoice, so the sender is supposed to honour it ofc. It would be nice to enforce it (make the check in maybe_fulfill_htlc dependent on what was in the invoice).

-
walletdb: chan dict: small clean-up (incl db upgrade) - "fail_htlc_reasons" was removed in 9b1c40e3964ba7036600cbb0f8bd5938cb3edb22 - "unfulfilled_htlcs": rm 2 dead items from the 4-tuple, and convert False value of forwarding_key
-
swapserver: raise exception if client uses deprecated API
-
lnpeer: fix some type hints related https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/8924 note: "forwarding_key" can be stored as False. I think this is ugly and might be better to do a storage upgrade to change those values to None.

More Crypto Wallets
-
An open source, native desktop wallet for Windows, Linux, and MacOS. Wasabi implements trustless CoinJoins over the Tor network. Neither an observer nor the participants can determine which output belongs to which input. This makes it difficult for outside parties to trace where a particular coin originated from and where it was sent to, which greatly improves privacy. Since it's trustless, the CoinJoin coordinator cannot breach the privacy of the participants. Wasabi is compatible with cold storage and hardware wallets, including OpenCard and Trezor.
-
Open source, cross-platform, offline, crypto wallet, compatible with 1000+ coins. Your private key is generated on the device, and never leaves it, all transactions are signed by the Trezor, which ensures your wallet is safe from theft. There are native apps for Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android, and iOS, but Trezor is also compatible with other wallets, such as Wasabi. You can back the Trezor up, either by writing down the seed, or by duplicating it to another device. It is simple and intuitive to use, but also incredibly customizable with a large range of advanced features.
-
An easy-to-use, super secure Bitcoin hardware wallet, which can be used independently as an air-gapped wallet. ColdCard is based on partially signed Bitcoin transactions following the BIP174 standard. Built specifically for Bitcoin, and with a variety of unique security features, ColdCard is secure, trustless, private, and easy-to-use. Companion products for the ColdCard include: BlockClock, SeedPlate, and ColdPower.
-
An open-source, Bitcoin-only privacy-focused wallet, with some innovative features. Samourai Wallet works under any network conditions, with a full offline mode, useful for cold storage. It also supports a comprehensive range of privacy features including: STONEWALL that helps guard against address clustering deanonymization attacks, PayNym which allows you to receive funds without revealing your public address for all to see, Stealth Mode which hides Samourai from your devices launcher, Remote SMS Commands to wipe or recover your wallet if the device is seized or stolen, and Whirlpool which is similar to a coin mixer, and OpenDime is also supported for offline USB hardware wallets.
-
Sparrow is a Bitcoin wallet for those who value financial self-sovereignty. Sparrow’s emphasis is on security, privacy, and usability. Sparrow does not hide information from you - on the contrary, it attempts to provide as much detail as possible about your transactions and UTXOs, but in a way that is manageable and usable.
-
Atomic is an open-source desktop and mobile-based wallet, where your private keys are stored on your local device, and do not touch the internet. Atomic has a great feature set, and supports swapping, staking, and lending directly from the app. However, most of Atomic's features require an active internet connection, and Atomic does not support hardware wallets yet. Therefore, it may only be a good choice as a secondary wallet, for storing small amounts of your actively used currency.
-
A steel plate, with engraved letters which can be permanently screwed - CryptoSteel is a good fire-proof, shock-proof, water-proof, and stainless cryptocurrency backup solution.
-
Open source hardware wallet, supporting secure multisig with the option for making encrypted backups on a MicroSD card.
