Wallet decision guide
Assess suitability, then permissions, risks and account boundaries
The Samourai Wallet decision guide follows the checks to make before using a wallet. First identify its wallet type as App, then compare platforms (Android), network coverage (BTC), key storage (Stored locally), code status (Fully open source) and security labels (BTC, Privacy tools, Mobile) to assess its suitability for mobile use, multichain management, browser extensions and DApp interactions. It also lists unsuitable scenarios, permission checks, risk indicators and differences between wallets and exchange accounts. Check downloads, backups, permissions, network selection and account boundaries separately. Additional services are recorded as Trading. These are product-directory labels, not trading, custody, balance-reading or signing services offered by this site.
Before each approval, verify the domain, contract address, chain ID and permission scope.
Do not keep substantial long-term holdings in an environment with frequent approvals.
Explore market references and risk notes for the intended chain.
When it may not be suitable
- Long-term cold storage for substantial holdingsMobile and browser environments have broader exposure and should not replace a cold-storage process.For long-term storage, compare hardware wallets first.
- Unclear about permissionsUsers must assess the risks of DApp connections and signing prompts.First establish permission-revocation and small-amount testing procedures.
- Unable to identify counterfeit appsFake websites, extensions, support and airdrops are common risks for App wallets.Reach installation pages only through official channels.
- Seeking custody from this siteThis site displays references only. It does not custody assets, read balances or process transfers.Fund operations take place outside this site and require independent judgment.
Permission checks
- Official domainUse the official domain to find downloads or device purchases, not group-chat links, advertising redirects or unfamiliar short links.Watch for fake websites, impersonated support and counterfeit download pages.
- App-store or extension IDVerify the publisher, extension ID, version history, suspicious reviews and official announcements.Counterfeit apps and extensions with the same name can be misleading.
- Recovery phrases and private keysKeep seed phrases, private keys, Keystore and recovery phrases offline. Do not screenshot, upload or send them to anyone.Possession of the recovery phrase gives control over the assets.
- Signing promptsCheck the contract, chain ID, allowance, recipient and signed-message contents individually.A malicious permission request may not look like an ordinary transfer.
- Revoke permissionsFind the relevant chain's allowance-checking and revocation tools, and regularly revoke unused DApp permissions.Persistent unlimited allowances increase exposure to future risks.
- Small-amount testTest with a small amount before first use, changing devices, bridging or making a large transfer.Incorrect address formats, Memo/Tag or network selection can result in lost assets.
Risk indicators
Wallets versus exchange accounts
| Comparison | Wallet | Exchange | Checks before use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private key / recovery phrase | Wallets such as Samourai Wallet manage control over assets through private keys, recovery phrases, devices or local files. | Exchange accounts generally access funds through the platform's account, risk-control and custody systems. | First assess whether you can maintain backups and recover access over the long term. |
| Login and recovery | Wallet recovery generally depends on recovery phrases, private keys or device backups, not ordinary username-and-password recovery. | Exchange accounts rely more on email, phone numbers, KYC, 2FA and platform support procedures. | Do not assume exchange-account recovery procedures apply to a self-custody wallet. |
| Deposits and withdrawals | Wallets handle on-chain addresses and signatures. Users must verify the network and fees for each transfer. | Exchanges provide deposit addresses, withdrawal reviews, risk restrictions and internal account records. | Check the network, address, Memo/Tag and minimum-credit rules. |
| Signatures and permissions | Wallets display transaction signatures, message signatures or DApp permissions. Users must understand what they authorize. | Most exchange operations use platform accounts and risk controls, without users directly signing on-chain contracts. | Do not approve a signature you do not understand. |
| Suitable use cases | App wallets focus on mobile use, multichain management, extensions and DApp interactions for users managing their own addresses and on-chain activity. | Exchange accounts focus more on order matching, fiat access, consolidated balances and platform services. | Separate long-term storage, everyday interactions and trading accounts. |

Wallet FAQ
What type of wallet is Samourai Wallet?
The directory lists Samourai Wallet under the App wallet category. This page focuses on product information, supported networks, platforms, security information and public links, not a wallet service operated by this site.
What use cases may suit Samourai Wallet?
Current references suggest Samourai Wallet is oriented toward mobile multichain management, extensions, DApp interactions and everyday permissions. Suitability for a particular chain, DApp or holding size depends on official documentation and your own security procedures.
Does this site provide Samourai Wallet downloads, custody or wallet connections?
No. This site provides references, official websites and comparison links only. It does not host installation packages, generate wallet addresses, read balances, connect extensions or initiate transaction signatures.
What should I verify before using Samourai Wallet?
Check the official domain, app-store publisher, browser-extension ID, hardware purchase channels, updates, recovery-phrase backups, private-key storage, multisignature support, target networks and permission revocation.
How does Samourai Wallet differ from an exchange account?
Wallets generally involve private keys, recovery phrases, signatures and on-chain permissions. Exchange accounts involve accounts, order matching, deposits, withdrawals and platform custody. This site presents the two separately to avoid confusion.
Why are external official links restricted?
External links are for verification. This site does not endorse external downloads, wallet security or third-party pages, or guarantee against financial loss; external-link safety rules therefore apply.
