What it does well

Best in class portfolio view across chains, good history.

Where it falls short

Tracking features need network access to third party services.

Worth remembering
We list drawbacks for every wallet because they all have some. A wallet review with no criticism is an advertisement.

Setting it up safely

  1. Download from the official source only

    Type the URL or use a bookmark. Fake wallet extensions and fake apps are a persistent and effective attack. Check the publisher and the install count before adding any browser extension.

  2. Create a new wallet

    You will be shown a recovery phrase. This is the most important moment of the process.

  3. Write the recovery phrase on paper

    By hand, numbered, two copies in two locations. Never a photo, never a notes app, never a cloud drive, never typed into any website. See seed phrase security.

  4. Verify the backup

    The wallet asks you to re enter some words. Do it honestly rather than screenshotting, because this is your only test that the backup works.

  5. Send a small test amount first

    Five dollars. Confirm it arrives. Then send the rest.

Using it with a hardware wallet

Zerion works with Ledger and other hardware wallets. You get the Zerion interface while the private key stays inside the hardware device, which is the best of both.

Common questions

Is Zerion a wallet or a portfolio tracker?
Both. It started as a tracker and became a wallet, so it shows positions across many chains in one view rather than making you check each network separately.
Can I track wallets I do not own?
Yes, in watch only mode, which is useful for keeping an eye on your own cold storage without exposing its keys to anything.
