The Top 5 Wallets To Get Started Collecting NFT’s

Reading Time: 7 minutes

 

Hello Everyone 

 

So over the last 6 months when the team has been out spreading the word about what we do, we have been asked the same question a lot “when getting started what wallets are the easiest to use for NFT’s”. So today we thought we would create a list of the best wallets, with the best interfaces and offering great features. 

 

In this list, they are mostly Ethereum only wallets but one or two allow for other coins like Bitcoin etc, But please check before sending any other cryptos to the wallet as you will not see it in an app that doesn’t support that coin.

 

(E.g if you send Bitcoin to an Ethereum the only wallet you will most likely lose it).

 

There are a few things we want in an NFT wallet.

 

1. Easy To Use and Sign up
2. A Nice Interface 
3. Smart features that save time
4. Is Safe And Secure (Not giving away your pass phase or data)
5. Is Free To Use
6. Is a Growing Product Adding New Features 

 

 

 

So let’s Go Though Are Top 5 Best NFT Wallets.

The Pillar Wallet is a great wallet app and it is free to use its got features like a username that goes with your wallet address making it a bit easier to find your friends (that use pillar wallet too), gamified features like badges, great security, Chat and Social features.
