Our verdict

Cypherock is the hardware wallet for you who wants a metal device that holds its own keys, and its open-source firmware plus split-card backup are rare in this corner of the market. Devices cost $99 to $129, above a bare stick, and support runs on email, help centre and community.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Keys stay with you: self custody is backed by a secure element chip in the vault and the cards.
  • Coin support of 19,000 sits well above the median of 46 across ranked wallets.
  • Firmware is open source, and shamir and seed covers both a shamir split and a seed.
  • Connectivity is usb c and nfc, so it signs from a desk or a phone.

Cons

  • It is the priciest option here at $99 to $129, against $79 for a Trezor.
  • Support runs on email, help centre and community only, so there is no phone line for a damaged card or a device that will not pair.
  • Hardware does nothing on its own: usb c and nfc still needs a paired computer or phone to sign.

Who it suits

  • You who already hold a large, mixed coin stack and want 19,000 coins behind self custody.
  • You who read firmware and care that it is open source, with a secure element chip on top.
  • You who would rather make a single hardware purchase than hold a balance with a trading platform.

Who should look elsewhere

  • eToro or VaultLeap if you want to open a wallet in seconds, since both are mobile wallets against the hardware Cypherock.
  • Trezor if price settles it, with $79 against $99 to $129 here.
  • Anyone who wants to buy, sell or hold a fiat balance inside the same app, because a hardware wallet is only storage.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Cypherock wallet cost?+

Cypherock devices run at $99 to $129. That is the whole outlay, and it sits above the hardware wallet price of $79 for a Trezor. If cost alone decides it, compare those two figures before weighing the rest of the feature list.

Who holds the coins?+

You do. self custody means the private keys never leave the device, and a secure element chip guards them in the vault and the cards. The wallet comes from HODL Tech Private Limited in Singapore, and the firmware is open source.

What happens if I lose a card?+

shamir and seed is the answer, since it covers a shamir split and a seed. Losing one card does not lock the coins, but nothing in the setup handles recovery for you. Keep the seed safe and treat the shares like cash.

How many coins can it hold?+

Coin support is listed at 19,000, far above the median of 46 for ranked wallets. Breadth suits a long tail of smaller assets, though the count is a headline figure rather than a promise of equal liquidity on every chain.

How does it connect?+

Connectivity is usb c and nfc, so a USB-C cable covers a desk setup and NFC covers tap-to-sign on a phone. Both keep signing on the device rather than in a browser tab, which is the point of buying hardware at $99 to $129.

What support do I get?+

Support runs on email, help centre and community: a help centre, email and a community. There is no live phone line if a card is damaged or a device will not pair, so keep your own record of the seed and the card order.

Is a hardware wallet safer than a phone app?+

Both keep keys with you when custody is self-custody, but hardware holds them in a secure element chip rather than in an app. Across the products we rank, retail losses run at 70.15% in the median, so the chip protects the key, not the price of what it holds.

How does Cypherock compare with eToro or VaultLeap?+

Both are mobile wallets that open on a phone and handle buying as well as holding. Cypherock is a hardware device, which suits a larger, longer-held stack but asks for hardware up front at $99 to $129.
