The names listed here may seem familiar as they are mentioned elsewhere on the site. We made this overview and comparison table to help you learn more about each of these COLDCARD compatible wallets.

If a wallet isn't listed, that doesn't mean your COLDCARD won't work with it. Any wallet following Bitcoin standards like BIP-174, which introduced partially signed bitcoin transactions (PSBT), should be compatible.
