KYC US Exchanges
Use for fiat on/off-ramps and then self-custody, in order of trustworthiness (IMO):
Kraken
Coinbase
Gemini
Wallet
Sign with a hardware wallet. Don’t use Metamask due to privacy/security issues.
Ledger
Frame
https://frame.sh/ https://github.com/floating/frame
Argent
https://www.argent.xyz/ Probably the best Ethereum DeFi wallet? Compare to Rainbow (I’m not big on Mobile Wallets)
Rabby
- Now supports custom RPCs
BlockWallet
- Claims to be privacy focused
DEX
This is what you should be using to trade:
Ethereum
These are all MEV-protected
Cowswap
Matcha
1inch
https://app.1inch.io/ Available on most EVM compatible chains
For chains, I recommend the following as reasonably mature/safe:
- Ethereum - slowest, most expensive, but most secure
- Ethereum L2s: Arbitrum, Optimism, more soon
- EVM L1s: Polygon, Avalanche
Private DeFi
zk.money
https://zk.money/ Allows private yielding and staking in Aave, Lido, Yearn
Portfolio Visibility
DeBank
https://debank.com/ DeBank has unmatched protocol and chain coverage and is the most accurate one I’ve found so far.
Rotki
https://rotki.com/ Rather limited in a lot of ways, but it’s private and open source, which gives it a lot of brownie points in my book.
Zapper
https://zapper.fi/ I used to use this a lot, but it’s simply been outpaced by DeBank IMO
Nansen Portfolio
https://portfolio.nansen.ai/ Nansen acquired Ape Board - it has neat features, but doesn’t have the protocol coverage DeBank has.
