Top 5 EOS Wallets in 2018. What’s the best choice?

New technologies are quickly evolving. As you may already know, effective from June 1, 2018, EOS moved their tokens from the Ethereum Blockchain to its own. This meant that users had to leave the ERC-20 standard altogether and store their tokens on different EOS wallets that were developed in a rush. Currently, there aren’t many options on the market that can provide users with a reliable, secure and friendly application where they can store their EOS tokens. However, from the variety of available options we have found some suitable candidates to consider.

Infinito Wallet

A simple, yet powerful multi-currency wallet that can store your EOS coins, along with BTC, ETH, BCH and other tokens. When considering security features, this wallet is somewhat deficient, providing the user with only a basic password or fingerprint authentication. Unfortunately, there’s no in-built exchange, so you won’t be able to buy extra cryptocurrency with your credit card or even exchange your existing assets to other crypto. The wallet is available for iOS and Android.

Free Wallet

This is a very advanced wallet in terms of security features. Not only is it armed with two factor authentification, it also prevents hackers from withdrawing your funds. This is because the email security feature requires confirmation for every transaction made using the wallet. It is unlikely that a hacker would have direct access to your email as well as your wallet. Free Wallet allows you to store many cryptocurrencies, from BTC to ZCASH and 25 other currencies. It is available for both iOS and Android, however there have been mentions of the app on iOS 11.2.5 being unstable.

Jaxx

Jaxx is one of the most popular wallets on the market, and at the same time one of the most infamous in terms of vulnerability, as it cost users $400,000 in the month of June 2017. Later, the team announced that the security vulnerability was fixed and all seed phrases would be stored in an encrypted format. Jaxx supports different cryptocurrencies and many ERC20 tokens. An in-built ShapeShift technology allows an easy crypto-to-crypto exchange. As an extra security feature, you can set up a PIN for the initial authentication in the app. It is also available on all platforms, including: Windows, Linux, MacOS, iOS, Android, and more.

Coin.Space

The strongest feature of this wallet is its security, which is lacking in many other wallets. All the wallet’s internal files are encrypted using the AES-256 standard. A 4 digit PIN will add an extra security layer during the authentication process. Private keys are stored locally and don’t leave the wallet when any financial operations with your cryptocurrency are made. Coin.space supports the most popular cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, XRP and more than 20,000 different ERC20 and ERC223 standards. This wallet is a perfect choice for airdroppers who would like to store and receive new coins in one place. It’s also great for beginners who desire to buy additional crypto straight from their wallet, because an in-built ShapeShift exchange allows them to buy or sell preferred assets. On top of that, the wallet offers something that others simply don’t have. It can route all traffic through the TOR network, making your transactions anonymous. It’s definitely one of the best cryptocurrency wallets on the market.

Exodus

Exodus doesn’t come with many security features, except for basic passphrase recovery. It’s a multicurrency wallet, and therefore supports many cryptocurrencies, including EOS tokens. On top of that, there isn’t a problem with exchanging cryptocurrencies, because developers have integrated the ShapeShift exchange. Platforms such as Windows, Linux and MacOS support Exodus, however, this is simply a wallet, nothing more than that.
