Pros and cons, side by side

Blockstream Green

What works

A cosigning key behind two-factor authentication, so a thief with your unlocked phone still cannot spend
The cosigner cannot trap your coins: a CheckSequenceVerify timelock hands each deposit back to your key alone after about 360 days
An open source recovery tool exists for the case where the 2FA service is permanently switched off
Runs on iOS, Android (Google Play and F-Droid), Windows, macOS and Linux
Pairs natively with Blockstream Jade, so the keys can live on a device instead of the phone
Open source, no documents required, and it can connect to your own node over Tor

What to watch

New 2FA Protected accounts have not been available since May 2025, which is the feature most people came for
Keeping 2FA protection on older coins means redepositing them before each timelock expires
Not bitcoin only, and Liquid balances depend on the Liquid federation rather than on bitcoin's mining
The cosigning server sees a 2FA wallet's transactions, a privacy cost single signature does not have
Three names in circulation (Blockstream Green, the Blockstream app, Multisig Shield) make guides and support articles hard to line up

Trust Wallet

What works

Keys are generated on your device, and Trust Wallet's terms describe it as non-custodial software rather than an account
The mobile apps were untouched by the December 2025 browser extension compromise
Trust Wallet published a dated timeline that names its own leaked publishing key as the way in
It decided to reimburse affected users voluntarily and put the process in writing
One app holds bitcoin alongside Ethereum, Solana and hundreds of other chains

What to watch

An attacker shipped a malicious build of the Chrome extension directly to users, so installing it means trusting a publishing pipeline that has failed once
Trust Wallet counts 2,520 affected addresses against over 5,000 reimbursement claims, and reviews them case by case with no published deadline
Keys sit on an internet connected phone, so this is a hot wallet: savings belong on a hardware wallet instead
Bitcoin is one chain among hundreds, and the interface is built around tokens and dapps rather than around bitcoin
The Earn feature is unavailable in 33 countries and territories, including the United States, the United Kingdom and most of the European Economic Area
