KeepKey: The Hardware Wallet for Simplicity and Security
Overview: KeepKey stands out for its large screen, making it easier to review addresses and details before confirming transactions. The setup is straightforward, especially for new users—ShapeShift integration lets you manage crypto and swap coins right from the wallet interface.
Security: Private keys are kept offline, protected by a secure PIN and recovery phrase. While not open-source at the hardware level, the firmware is transparent and regularly reviewed.
Supported Assets: KeepKey covers the most popular coins (like BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH, and DOGE), but doesn’t support as many tokens as Ledger or Trezor.
User Experience: The wallet connects via USB and works with ShapeShift’s web app. Its metal body feels premium and built to last, and the large display reduces mistakes when approving transactions.
Bottom Line: If you want a wallet that’s easy to use, with a big screen and robust security for top coins, KeepKey is a smart budget pick—just keep in mind its smaller asset selection.
