1. Mist
When it comes to Ethereum wallets, the first thing to say is, of course, the official Ethereum wallet + browser Mist. Mist is a full-node wallet (in layman's terms, a full-node wallet is a wallet that synchronizes all Ethereum block information). In other words, after opening the wallet, the computer will automatically synchronize all Ethereum block information, if the device and network conditions are passed, it will take about half a day (September 8, 17).
Benefits: It is highly secure and does not require a third party to initiate transactions The node cannot view the address balance until the synchronization is complete Disadvantages: Gas price cannot be adjusted The network requirements are high, and nodes need to be connected to initiate transactions Download at: http://ethfans.org/wikis/Mist-Mirror
2. Parity
A wallet developed by a former member of the Ethereum Foundation. It is powerful and is also a full-node wallet.
Benefits: It is highly secure and does not require a third party to initiate transactions Disadvantages: The requirements for the network are high, and nodes need to be connected to initiate transactions Download at: http://ethfans.org/wikis/Ethcore-Parity-Mirror
3. MyEtherWallet
As a light wallet, MyEtherWallet is not easy to use, and you can complete all operations directly on the web page without downloading. The private keys generated on MyEtherWallet are self-custodial by the user, and there is no backup on the platform.
Benefits: It is convenient and fast, and you can initiate transactions online Disadvantages: You need to upload your private key when trading (look for a unique URL when using it: https://www.myetherwallet.com Beware of phishing websites)
4. imToken
The mobile wallet is easy to operate, easy to use, and fully functional, and the wallet private key generated on imToken is stored locally on the mobile phone, and there is no backup on the platform.
Benefits: Mobile wallet, the operation interface is very friendly, and you can initiate transactions when connected to the Internet Chinese team, customer service is good communication, fast response Disadvantages: Not open source Download at: https://token.im/
5. MetaMask
MetaMask's wallet properties are weak, and it plays more of a role in making Chrome compatible with the Ethereum network
Pros: Turn Chrome into an Ethereum-compatible browser by adding a wallet plugin (The company's fox logo is very cute) Cons: Automatic display of Erc20 tokens is not supported. (Smart contract address where users need to add their own tokens) Download at: https://metamask.io/
6. Legder
Hardware wallets, wallets with high security, officially provided software functions are relatively limited. Can be used with MyEtherWallet.
Pros: High security Cons: The official software is poorly functional and cannot adjust gas limit and gas price Expensive and hard to come by
