SafePal mobile software wallet and browser extension, distinct from hardware wallets

We reviewed SafePal Software Wallet using 4 official and public sources. The notes below focus on custody, recovery, and security trade-offs.

SafePal offers broad software-wallet and DApp coverage with optional hardware pairing, but its ecosystem size and companion relationship make surface-specific recovery and provider research essential.
