About Walletbeat

Walletbeat is a public good project that brings transparency to the Ethereum wallet ecosystem.
As L2Beat has done for Ethereum Layer 2s, Walletbeat aims to do the same for Ethereum wallets.

Walletbeat aims to be fair, objective and impartial in its assessment methodology of Ethereum wallets.
Where there is inherent subjectivity, such as in the decision of which criteria are used to rate and categorize wallets, Walletbeat aims to follow Ethereum's ethos and cypherpunk values as a guiding principle. See Vitalik's blog post on wallets and the Walletbeat FAQ page for more details.

Walletbeat is committed to transparency. Contributors reveal their affiliation and / or shares in wallet companies. It is an open-source project licensed under the Free and Open-Source MIT license. Discussions are held on the public /walletbeat Farcaster channel.

As of 2025-01, Walletbeat has received no funding and is not in need of any.
If funding becomes a necessity in the future, Walletbeat aims to raise funds through retroactive funding, ecosystem grants, and individual donations. Walletbeat will then publish a funding transparency page that documents the date, origin, and amount of such funding.

Walletbeat refuses and will continue to refuse funding from wallet-related entities.
Walletbeat however was originally created and is currently hosted by Fluidkey , an incorporated company in Switzerland with a wallet offering. In order to maximize credible neutrality, Walletbeat's long-term ownership goal is to become an independent DAO or foundation (similar to L2Beat) once Walletbeat reaches a higher level of maturity and a broader set of regular contributors. Until this is achieved, Walletbeat will not list nor rate wallet software from Fluidkey.
