Features

Legacy Addresses

Most wallets have the ability to send and receive with legacy bitcoin addresses. Legacy addresses start with 1 or 3 (as opposed to starting with bc1). Without legacy address support, you may not be able to receive bitcoin from older wallets or exchanges.
SegWit

Some wallets support SegWit, which uses blockchain space more efficiently. This helps reduce fees paid by helping the Bitcoin network scale and sets the foundation for second layer solutions such as the Lightning Network.

Criteria

Control

Control over your money

Good

This wallet gives you full control over your bitcoins. This means no third party can freeze or lose your funds. You are however still responsible for securing and backing up your wallet.

Validation

Simplified validation

Acceptable

This wallet uses SPV and the Bitcoin network. This means very little trust in third parties is required when verifying payments. However, it is not as secure as a full node like Bitcoin Core.

Transparency

Basic transparency

Acceptable

The developers of this wallet publish the source code for the client. This means any developer in the world can audit the code. However, you still need to trust developers of this wallet when installing or updating the final software because it was not built deterministically like Bitcoin Core.

Environment

Secure environment

Acceptable

This wallet is loaded on mobiles where apps are usually isolated. This provides a good protection against malware, although mobiles are usually easier to steal or lose. Encrypting your mobile and backing up your wallet can reduce that risk.

Privacy

Basic privacy

Acceptable

Prevents spying on your payments

Acceptable

This wallet makes it harder to spy on your balance and payments by rotating addresses. You should still take care to use a new Bitcoin address each time you request payment.

Discloses limited information to peers

Caution

Peers on the network can log your IP address and associate your payments together when receiving or sending payment.

Tor not supported

Caution

This wallet does not let you use Tor to prevent attackers or Internet service providers from associating your payments with your IP address.

Fees

Static fee suggestions

Caution

This wallet does not provide any fee suggestions which are based on current network conditions. This means that your transactions may be subject to delays if the fee chosen is too low, or that you may pay a fee which is too high.
