**[Trezor](https://trezor.io/)** (All Coins) | 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 incredible customisable with a large range of advanced features
**[ColdCard](https://coldcardwallet.com/)** (BitCoin) | An easy-to-use, super secure, open source BitCoin hardware wallet, which can be used independently as an air-gapped wallet. ColdCard is based on partially signed Bitcoin transactions following the [BIP174](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0174.mediawiki) 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](http://blockclockmini.com/), [SeedPlate](http://bitcoinseedbackup.com/) and [ColdPower](http://usbcoldpower.com/)
**[CryptoSteel](https://cryptosteel.com/how-it-works)** | 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
**[Electrum](https://electrum.org/)** (BitCoin) | Long-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.
