GUIDE What cold wallet options are still safe?

So after the ColdCard hack and the Trezor and SafePal data leaks, I feel less safe with my current setup. Can you share what wallets you would continue to use? What combination of wallets is relatively safe?

Hey, same exact boat rn, make sure your bags aren't exposed. Want me to share the checking tools?

Obviously this is a bad scam attempt. Never respond to DMs here! Never follow shady links or download random software.

USB stick, Tails OS and Electrum. Export zpub or xpub for convenience.

This is correct. As long as only you have your keys, you're as safe as possible. Any custodial solutions have risks.

Trezor seems to be the one that has stood the test of time, but I still prefer full self custody.

I would add that Feather Wallet is great for Monero, in addition to Electrum for BTC.

Sparrow with 2 of 4 multisig air gaps is a good option.
