Alternatives to Zerion
Self-custody wallet & DeFi portfolio
Zerion ranks #3 of 10 in Crypto wallets, with an Alt Score of 93. It is licensed under GPL-3.0, freemium from Free and available on iOS, Android, Web and Browser extension. 11 of 12 checklist rows are verified against a public source.
Crypto users who want a single self-custodial wallet and portfolio tracker for holding, trading, and monitoring tokens, NFTs, and DeFi positions across Ethereum, Solana, and 40+ other chains.
A non-custodial wallet (mobile app for iOS/Android and a browser extension for Chrome, Brave, Firefox, and Arc) plus a web-based portfolio tracker, with built-in swaps/bridging across DEXs, NFT and DeFi position tracking, Ledger hardware wallet support, WalletConnect dApp access, and a credit-card fiat on-ramp; a paid Premium tier ($99/wallet/year) adds lower trading fees, deeper portfolio/P&L analytics, and early feature access.
You create or import a wallet (seed phrase stored only on your device) in the mobile app or browser extension, or connect/watch any address in the web app; Zerion then aggregates balances, NFTs, and DeFi positions across supported chains and lets you swap, bridge, buy crypto, or access yield opportunities through partner protocols directly from the interface.
