Rabby WalletScore 81The 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 2026-08-24 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.Strength: Key export — 9/10Watch-out: Read the incident record before the feature list. Rabby is the strongest pre-signature product in this pool and among the weakest at maintaining a place to tell you when it has failed. There is no bug bounty (zero occurrences of "bount" anywhere in the homepage bundle or the help centre), no SECURITY.md (GitHub states outright "No security policy detected"), no security.txt, no advisory archive, no security@ contact and no postmortem page anywhere on rabby.io or support.rabby.io — so a researcher has no published private channel to report a vulnerability. On 2022-10-11 the Rabby Swap contract was drained of roughly $194,000 of user funds via approvals granted to it. In fairness the vendor did disclose it the same day on X, with a list of affected addresses, the four exploited contract addresses and revoke instructions — but that thread is now the ONLY disclosure that exists, and nearly four years on Rabby's own website and help centre still contain no mention of the event, nor any confirmation that the promised "satisfying solution for users within 1 week" was ever delivered. Weigh that against what IS published, which is more than it first appears: fourteen dated third-party audit reports across two repositories, from SlowMist, Least Authority and Cure53, spanning 2021-2025, with iOS and Android audited separately, and the extension set linked from a "Security & Transparency" section on Rabby's own homepage. Better than most of this pool, and newly refreshed: since August, SlowMist reports dated 2026-08-24 for the extension, iOS and Android have been added to the two repositories' audits/2026 folders. Three narrower things before committing. First, the protection you are buying is documented and sold for the EXTENSION: the Chrome Web Store listing advertises "pre-transaction potential risk scanning" and "upcoming balance change before you sign", while Rabby's own App Store and Google Play descriptions claim neither, so do not assume the mobile app is the same object. Second, no Rabby page ever prints "BIP-39" or a derivation path — verified zero hits across every vendor surface — so if you later want to restore your phrase into a different wallet you will be cycling HD-path options by trial and error. Third, the open-source guarantee is uneven: the extension's code is under an MIT grant (its LICENSE adds that "Brand name and logo of Rabby is copyright reserved", and GitHub reports the licence as NOASSERTION), but the mobile repository carries no licence file at all, so its published source grants no formal right to rebuild it if the vendor disappears.ExodusScore 69Closed-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.Strength: Key export — 9/10Watch-out: Read this before committing: Exodus no longer signs dApp requests on any platform. Mobile lost them first: "WalletConnect and the dApp browser are no longer available in Exodus Mobile" and "you can no longer connect to, manage, or approve requests for web3 connections in Exodus Mobile". Then the browser extension went: "Support for Exodus Web3 Wallet ended on October 1, 2026 .", and in Exodus's words "To keep using dApps or web3 apps, you'll need to use a different wallet that supports web3 connections." (read 28 October 2026). If you used the extension, view its 12-word key before you uninstall it: "If you uninstall the browser extension, you won't be able to view your secret key or reinstall the extension." Two further asymmetries a buyer should price. The wallet is free but the earn side is opaque: Exodus publishes no spread number, and its own 10-K shows five API Providers generating 69.1% of revenue. And the security record is unfalsifiable rather than clean — the HackerOne policy forbids discussing "any vulnerabilities (even resolved ones)" publicly, there is no advisory archive, no third-party audit is published, and the vendor pre-commits that it "will not be able to compensate you for the loss of your funds." Exodus is a strong place to hold, move and eventually LEAVE with your coins — the key-export and exit documentation both score 9/10, among the strongest in this pool — and no place to sign contract calls: its only documented dApp-signing surface, the Web3 Wallet extension, ended on October 1, 2026.
