Introduction
BitBox02 logo
BitBox02
The 'Bitbox02' by Shift Crypto is a Swiss-made general-purpose hardware wallet focusing on security and transparency. The wallet is straightforward to set up as it comes delivered with an SD Card that can be used as a backup method. The BitBox02 wallet supports many popular cryptocurrencies directly with its native Desktop and Android app BitBoxApp. The BitBox02 runs on open-source firmware, meaning anyone can verify the crucial source code of the wallet. The hardware wallet has a unique dual-chip architecture that allows the wallet to be both open-source and discretely protected by physical attacks by a secure chip at the same time, which makes it one of the most secure and transparent hardware wallets available on the market.

Model T
The 'Model T' by Trezor is a general-purpose hardware wallet with a focus on easy usage and transparency. The wallet is extremely easy and pleasant to use due to its large colored LCD touch display that reminds of a small smartphone. With its free, open-source app 'Trezor Suite' this hardware wallet supports many different cryptocurrencies and NFTs out of the box. The Model T runs on open-source firmware and therefore misses a Secure Element chip due to its single-chip architecture, which results in a rather low protection against hardware attacks.

The BitBox02 is pleasant to use on Desktop and Android devices and has the most straightforward set-up of all hardware wallets we have tested so far. Because of the uniquely secure and transparent architecture of the BitBox02, we recommend this wallet to anyone with a significant amount invested in crypto assets and who values above-average security for a moderate price. However, as the BixBox02 misses support for many altcoins, this hardware wallet may not be the best option for all hardcore altcoin fans.

/2024
Trezor's Model T shines in the factor of ease of use, as almost anyone can operate the device without an issue because of its large touch display. Besides the large, colorful touch display, the 'Model T' by Trezor does not offer any more utility than cheaper competitor models and lacks important hardware security due to a missing Secure Element, which makes us believe that this model is rather overpriced and not recommended to the average crypto user.
