Verdict

A A ★ 4.2/5 ★ 4.2/5

Score 4.2/5, very strong profile. In its favour: built-in DeFi portfolio tracker (positions, debts, rewards) across 50+ EVM networks plus Solana; open-source browser extension (GPL-3.0); IP stored hashed and retained max 14 days. The trade-off to weigh: eVM/DeFi-focused: no confirmed Bitcoin support; the lists of audit firms differ between the official site and the GitHub repo.
