Why it leads
Why Liana (Wizardsardine) ranks #1
Each strength is read from evidence on a 0–10 ladder and weighted as the published methodology states. The 32 objective points these produce (27.3 here) sit inside the score; availability, friction, trust record and measured data add the rest. Best in this ranking on 3 of 4.

What would move the rank
Each line is the ranking run again with one of Liana (Wizardsardine)’s criterion scores changed and every other value held: the smallest whole-point change on that criterion that moves its rank, and where the re-run puts it. Up to 4 climbs and 3 falls are listed, smallest change first. Nothing here is a forecast.

Record watch-outs
- The thing that will actually bite is that a Liana inheritance plan has TWO failure modes no seed-phrase wallet has, and both are chores. First, the descriptor is a second mandatory artefact that cannot be regenerated from the seeds — the vendor says so without softening it: "Without the descriptor, your funds are likely gone." and "Without the descriptor there is no reliable way to reconstruct which addresses belong to your wallet." (https://lianawallet.com/resources/guides/recovering-your-wallet/, 2026-08-17). The heir must be given it, must still have it in twenty years, and must not have thrown it away as gibberish. Second, the plan is armed by INACTIVITY, so staying alive is an ongoing on-chain obligation: "The timelock only matures if your wallet is completely inactive for the full configured period. To prevent this during your lifetime, make at least one transaction (send, receive, or a refresh sweep to yourself) before the timelock expires." (https://lianawallet.com/resources/guides/inheritance/, 2026-08-17). Miss a refresh sweep while hospitalised or travelling and the heir's key goes live while you are alive, with no human anywhere in the system able to stop it — which is precisely the price of the vendor-independence that scores this product a 10 on the first criterion.

- 10 October 2026
2026.10.8When nothing serves your country, the list shown for reference is the published ranking · platform-wide- fixed The reference list shown when nothing serves your country is the published order with the published scores, and a build check now fails any such list out of that order or with a score the ranking does not publish.
- fixed The explorer prints an overall rank only for a row the published ranking holds; a country entrant such as Coinbase Commerce for US merchants shows no overall rank.
- changed Published orders do not move. Country results change only where nothing serves the country: in India bill pay keeps Bitcoin Well first and now shows Strike second, as published; 35 such runs across all categories and countries now match the published list exactly.
- 10 October 2026
2026.10.7Forty-one more products are offered only where their own quoted terms serve- fixed 141 country exclusions on 31 rows, each the name of a country the row's own quoted terms exclude: for example Mercuryo Hungary, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Chile, Colombia and Morocco; Gemini Custody the United Kingdom, Australia and the EU after its wind-down; Backed xStocks the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, Nigeria, the Philippines and Venezuela.
- changed Thirteen rows list the only countries their terms serve: Coins.ph the Philippines, Spritz bill pay, Brex, Unchained, WisdomTree, Franklin BENJI and AnchorWatch the United States (with its territories for AnchorWatch), PRYPCO Mint the UAE, N26 crypto seven EU countries, Gemini Tokenized Stocks the EU, XNET the US, Canada and the UK, Coldbit Steel and MetaMask Card the countries they list.
- changed Published (no-country) orders do not move. Country results change: in India six categories each lose one row (bill pay, cards, off-ramps, P2P, seed backup, tokenised real estate), and bill pay there has no row confirmed available, so it shows the published order marked as such; country pages list 23 fewer rows (24,357 to 24,334). The grounding test now matches full country names in any case, which shows seven earlier exclusions were quoted all along: the named debt of unquoted exclusions falls from 40 to 33 pairs.

2026.10.6A criterion you require re-scores the rows that meet it · platform-wide- changed The explorer sends each criterion you require, at any band, as fit_required with your other answers; region, licence, chain and fact filters stay filters. On /best, a required criterion joins For you as a marked preference does, which needs your country; Overall stays the published ranking, filtered.
- added Every published criterion has a golden case as the explorer sends it (require:<criterion>), so the order a requirement gives is replayed and gated as the published order is, and a change to it needs an entry here.
