Last revised
Chained Future is a reference for people deciding how to hold their own crypto. It started with one question we kept failing to answer quickly: what does each hardware wallet actually have, according to the people who make it, and has any of that changed?
So the site is built like a datasheet. Every specification on a wallet page links to the page it came from and shows the date we last checked it. Comparisons are generated from the same data, so two pages never disagree about the same device.
The reference in numbers
Counted from the dataset every time the site is built, so these figures change when the data does.
- Devices
- 54
- 47 in production, 3 discontinued, 1 announced, 3 status unclear
- Datasheets
- 26
- Devices with a full page: drawing, specifications, security history and sources
- Makers
- 18
- Brands with at least one device in the table
- Sources cited
- 190
- Unique pages: 135 for specifications, 29 for prices, 37 for security events, 43 for device notes (a page can serve more than one)
- Values recorded
- 64%
- 555 of 864 cells (price and 15 specification fields for each device); the rest are marked not verified
- Security events
- 41
- Distinct dated events; 92 records across 27 devices, since brand-level events are listed on each model
- Newest check
- Oldest check
The method page shows how complete the data is for each field and which web domains are cited most.
What we do and do not do
- We read manufacturer documentation, security advisories and independent research, and record what they say with a link and a date.
- We say plainly when a page is based on documentation rather than on our own hands-on use of a device.
- No wallet maker pays for coverage, placement or a better write-up. If a page carries an affiliate link, it is labelled where it appears; see the editorial policy.
- We do not tell anyone what to buy or invest in. The pages explain trade-offs; the decision is yours.
Corrections
If a fact is wrong or out of date, the changelog shows what we changed and when. Corrections are welcome and are credited if you want.
