Wallet card verdicts
Wallet cards draw on a self-custody wallet. Your coins remain under your keys until you pay, then the card provider converts them at the terminal. For plenty of readers, the absence of an exchange balance in between is the entire attraction.
Each verdict here weighs the card’s cost, the coin types and chains accepted for loading, the people it is open to and the structure of the issuer. It is a judgement on published terms and reports, with a score out of 10 at the end.
A lost seed phrase cannot be recovered, and an issuer can still freeze a card, so self-custody shifts the risk without removing it. The verdicts point out where those limits fall.
