Electrum
electrum.orgBitcoinLong-standing Python-based Bitcoin wallet with good security features. Private keys are encrypted and do not touch the internet and balance is checked with a watch-only wallet. Compatible with other wallets, so there is no tie-in, and funds can be recovered with your secret seed. It supports proof-checking to verify transactions using SPV, multi-sig, and add-ons for compatibility with hardware wallets. A decentralized server indexes ledger transactions, meaning it's fast and doesn't require much disk space. The potential security issue here would not be with the wallet, but rather your PC - you must ensure your computer is secure and your wallet has a long, strong passphrase to encrypt it with.

Merge pull request #10860 from f321x/swap_test_flakiness tests: make new swap tests less flaky
Merge pull request #10854 from SomberNight/202608_lnutil_simplify_htlc_tx_weight lnutil: simplify effective_htlc_tx_weight()
tests: make new swap tests less flaky Prevent assertion failures through early return in `_claim_swap` by ensuring the wallet is synced when we call `_claim_swap`.
Merge pull request #10856 from f321x/swaps_prioritize_conf_utxos swaps: prioritize confirmed funding utxos over unconfirmed ones
Merge pull request #10830 from accumulator/qml_trustedcoin_wallet_scope qml: wallet, tx and callbacks were incorrectly scoped to class level for trustedcoin plugin.
swaps: prioritize confirmed funding utxos over unconfirmed ones When picking the funding utxo to look at in `SwapManager._claim_swap()`, prefer picking one that is already confirmed.
trustedcoin: follow-up prev: rm dead code
Merge pull request #10853 from f321x/swapserver_negative_nonce swaps: handle negative PoW nonce gracefully
lnutil: simplify effective_htlc_tx_weight() The convoluted "0 * x" logic was only there to highlight the difference between: - `option_anchor_outputs` (feature `20/21`) - which is now fully deprecated and which we never deployed (only had code for it in a PR) - `option_anchors_zero_fee_htlc_tx` (feature `22/23`) - which is now the prevalent "option_anchors"
swaps: handle negative PoW nonce gracefully Handle negative nonces in swap announcement events gracefully.
Merge pull request #10851 from f321x/fix_7513_non_deterministic_wallet wallet: don't remove ln xprv from wallet backup
wallet: don't remove ln xprv from wallet backup Fixes the same issue described in https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/7513 for non-deterministic lightning wallets.

Merge pull request #10848 from accumulator/qml_invoice_status_dedup qml: dedup overlapping update_userinfo() and determine_can_pay() into update_status()
qml: dedup overlapping update_userinfo() and determine_can_pay() into update_status() avoids entering wallet lock twice on most paths reaching check_can_pay_amount()
Merge pull request #10842 from SomberNight/202608_macos_readme_codesigning_privkey macos: readme: add sections with codesigning issues and fixes
Merge pull request #10845 from f321x/hide_passphrase_entry qml: wizard: hide passphrase input if disabled
release notes: add pre-notification of security fixes for 4.8.1
qml: wizard: hide passphrase input if disabled Hide the passphrase input text box in the QML wizard while the checkbox is disabled. Otherwise users see it, don't read the text above, and assume it is to re-enter the seedphrase generated in the step before. I noticed repeatedly while helping users to set up wallets.

More Crypto Wallets
Open source hardware wallet, supporting secure multisig with the option for making encrypted backups on a MicroSD card.
A steel plate, with engraved letters which can be permanently screwed - CryptoSteel is a good fire-proof, shock-proof, water-proof, and stainless cryptocurrency backup solution.
Sparrow is a Bitcoin wallet for those who value financial self-sovereignty. Sparrow’s emphasis is on security, privacy, and usability. Sparrow does not hide information from you - on the contrary, it attempts to provide as much detail as possible about your transactions and UTXOs, but in a way that is manageable and usable.
Open source, cross-platform, offline, crypto wallet, compatible with 1000+ coins. Your private key is generated on the device, and never leaves it, all transactions are signed by the Trezor, which ensures your wallet is safe from theft. There are native apps for Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android, and iOS, but Trezor is also compatible with other wallets, such as Wasabi. You can back the Trezor up, either by writing down the seed, or by duplicating it to another device. It is simple and intuitive to use, but also incredibly customizable with a large range of advanced features.
An open source, native desktop wallet for Windows, Linux, and MacOS. Wasabi implements trustless CoinJoins over the Tor network. Neither an observer nor the participants can determine which output belongs to which input. This makes it difficult for outside parties to trace where a particular coin originated from and where it was sent to, which greatly improves privacy. Since it's trustless, the CoinJoin coordinator cannot breach the privacy of the participants. Wasabi is compatible with cold storage and hardware wallets, including OpenCard and Trezor.
