MetaMask Alternatives: Top 3 Best Non-Custodial Wallet Extensions
There are times you wish life would be easier only if the MetaMask wallet would support more blockchains, could let you stake tokens, and had more features. All these features may come to an extension sometime, but before that, you should consider partially or completely switching to a different non-custodial wallet.
I tried multiple wallet extensions and compiled a list of the five best MetaMask alternatives for you. Let me present my findings about each of these and help you decide which one is the best.
I tried multiple wallet extensions and compiled a list of the five best MetaMask alternatives for you. Let me present my findings about each of these and help you decide which one is the best.
All wallets included in this list have:
| Buy, sell, transfer and receive options |
| Support Ethereum or at least one major blockchain network |
| Show be able to NFTs associated with the account |
| Can import custom tokens |
Let’s start with the options. Please note that this is not an ordered list. Consider the pros and cons of each wallet, or try these yourself to know which one suits you the best.
Coinbase is a popular wallet extension that comes with a few extra features by supporting a few more blockchain networks than MetaMask. It is better in some aspects than MetaMask but lacks a few key ingredients that would’ve made it the best.
Pros:
| Supports Ethereum and Solana Networks |
| Shows market prices of most of the cryptocurrencies in one place |
| Remembers position when after closing the extension |
| Good and mature interface |
| Good for trading |
| Option to swap |
| Profile customization options |
| Test faucet and an option to see private key |
Cons:
| No option for staking |
| A little slower than MetaMask though |
| Too many options, and confusing at times with too colorful UI |
| Basic wallet with too many unnecessary features |
Enkrypt brings a few additional features to compete against the likes of MetaMask and Trust wallet.
Pros:
| Support for more currencies, ETH, Bitcoin, Polkadot & a few more |
| Address and basic details on Home Screen, easily accessible |
| Simple enough interface, all options in one place |
| Shows a basic graph of the price of each Crypto asset |
Cons:
| No support for Solana for now |
| Very few options in Settings |
Exodus is another option for you if you prefer bold colors and a stylistic interface. The wallet has an abstract interface that is highly polarizing, showcasing its focus on NFTs.
Pros:
| Supports ETH, Solana, and a few popular currencies. |
| Good user interface |
| Can easily access and switch between the networks |
| Gives the option to stake Solana |
Cons:
| The abstract interface may take time to get used to |
| You can only add custom tokens on existing networks, can’t add custom networks |
Trust wallet is available for anyone who doesn’t want fancy features and complications. It has a fairly simple interface with no extra options like Enkrypt and Exodus wallets. The only reason one may consider this over MetaMask would be the support for Solana and a few other blockchains. And the simplicity.
Pros:
| Supports EVM and a few non-EVM networks. |
| Simple interface, with no features, only for people who do basic trading and don’t want extra features. |
Cons:
| Can’t do anything more than basic buying and selling. |
| No additional features or customization options. |
