11 wallets listed for Portugal
In ChainChoice’s published ranking order, from this category’s 11 providers: those whose terms exclude Portugal are removed; those silent on it come last. Each chip names the basis: a dated check, a region listing, or the provider's own claim.
#1 for PortugalRabby Wallet#1 globallyProvider states broad availability The reference implementation of pre-signature transparency in this pool, and the product that proves the signing axis actually separates. Rabby is a self-custodial EVM wallet from OPCODE LABS PTE. LTD. (the DeBank team), shipping as an MIT-licensed browser extension, a desktop app and iOS/Android apps. Where most wallets show a confirm button, Rabby's help centre documents an entire pre-signature apparatus: a simulation that previews the exact balance change, a decode that turns calldata into a readable action, a named Security Engine whose heuristics are published rather than hand-waved, and — uniquely in this pool — a hard lockout, "If a risk is detected, the Sign button will be disabled." Key custody is equally plain: one vendor page documents both Backup Seed Phrase and Backup Private Key on both platforms, with no email or account anywhere in the flow. The paperwork is better than it first appears: fourteen dated third-party audit reports across two repositories, from SlowMist, Least Authority and Cure53, spanning 2021-2025 and covering the extension, iOS and Android separately, joined by SlowMist reports dated 24 August 2026 for all three. What is genuinely missing is the disclosure machinery — no bug bounty, no security policy, no advisory archive — and the help centre remains silent on the October 2022 Rabby Swap contract exploit that cost users roughly $194,000, an event the vendor did in fact disclose on the day, on X, but never on its own website.
Key export — 9/10Signing visibility — 8/10Recovery exit — 8/10#2 for PortugalMetaMask#2 globallyProvider states broad availability The default EVM wallet: seed and per-account private-key export both documented on a stated BIP-44 path, a 2017-2025 public audit trail with three dated vendor advisories, and a pre-signature balance preview for contract interactions only, enforced onchain on 15 named networks for smart accounts on Extension.
Key export — 9/10Recovery exit — 9/10Incident record — 8/10#3 for PortugalTrust Wallet#3 globallyProvider states broad availability Mainstream self-custody mobile wallet with a genuinely documented simulate-and-decode signing screen on both platforms — but whose browser extension was supply-chain compromised in December 2025, still cannot export a raw private key, and whose audit register and security page carry no account of its own 2023 key-generation flaw.
Key export — 8/10Signing visibility — 8/10Incident record — 8/10#4 for PortugalPhantom#4 globallyProvider states broad availability The Solana-native software wallet turned multichain money app, whose default new-user account now keeps its private key in a Phantom-run enclave that will not export it.
Key export — 8/10Incident record — 8/10#5 for PortugalSolflare#5 globallyProvider states broad availability Solana-only self-custody wallet that documents seed AND per-account private-key export on both extension and mobile in printed steps, and whose named in-house scanner is described only in prose — no audit, no bug bounty, no advisory archive exists on any Solflare surface.
Key export — 10/10Recovery exit — 9/10#6 for PortugalExodus#6 globallyProvider states broad availability Closed-source multi-device self-custody wallet from an NYSE American-listed issuer: exemplary documented key export and exit, and since 1 October 2026 no screen for signing third-party (dApp) requests at all.
Key export — 9/10Recovery exit — 9/10#7 for PortugalSparrow Wallet#7 globallyProvider states broad availability A Bitcoin-only desktop wallet built for coin control, multisig and hardware signers: BIP-39 with the derivation path shown, every input and output decoded before signing, no bounty and no audit.
Recovery exit — 9/10Key export — 6/10#8 for PortugalRainbow#8 globallyProvider states broad availability GPL-3.0 open-source EVM wallet whose export and exit docs are unusually complete, wrapped in a vendor that publishes no security surface at all and has repositioned itself as a leveraged-trading app.
Recovery exit — 9/10Key export — 8/10#9 for PortugalElectrum#9 globallyProvider states broad availability The reference Bitcoin desktop and Android wallet since 2011: open source, its own published seed standard, private-key export and a self-disclosed 2018 phishing incident, with a plain preview rather than a scanner before signing.
Key export — 6/10Incident record — 6/10#10 for PortugalOKX Wallet#10 globallyProvider states broad availability The self-custody multichain wallet of the OKX group: seed and private-key export, a funded HackerOne bounty and a public audit library, a named in-house scanner but no documented pre-signing simulation.
