Abstract generation in progress

If you are seriously thinking about the level of privacy when working with $BTC and $ETH, then it's time to understand the tools. Here's what really works:

Software Solutions

Wasabi and Samourai – veterans of privacy. Wasabi routes transactions through Tor + CoinJoin, Samourai warns about leaks and filters data through VPN. Both are for those who are not afraid of UI.

Electrum – a lightweight option if you need a cold storage and hardware support. Decentralized, basic, but reliable.

SimpleHold and Zengo – focus on convenience. SimpleHold supports 70+ tokens without KYC, Zengo uses MPC cryptography instead of seed phrases (, which is more convenient but controversial ). Both offer integrated DEX.

Hardware Options

Ledger Nano X – if you trust hardware. 5000+ coins, high level of security. The downside – potentially less private than software solutions, but cryptography is at the level.

Exotic

Mercury Wallet – second level (off the blockchain$BTC . Sounds innovative, but it's a young project.

Real talk

Full anonymity does not exist. Even with the best wallet, remember the addresses you publish. Combine – software for transactions, hardware for storage, VPN in the background. And yes, DYOR – the trend towards privacy attracts scammers as well.
