Rabby Wallet Review
Open-source EVM wallet with a low published fee and wide hardware list
of 10
Rabby Wallet scores 9.0/10 in our wallet ratings, the highest of the six rated.

Based on desk research of Rabby's help center and repository.

Scores
Each criterion carries equal weight. The overall score is the average of these 5 scores — (9.0 + 9.0 + 7.0 + 10.0 + 10.0) ÷ 5 = 9.0.
Pros
- Published 0.25% swap fee, included in the quote, with named fee-free pairs (fees 10)
- 11 hardware wallets on the extension, including QR air-gapped devices (hardware 10)
- MIT licence; only the Rabby name and logo are reserved (open source 9)
- Help center states Rabby never has access to your funds (custody 9)
- Audit reports from SlowMist and Least Authority are published in the repository
Cons
- EVM networks only; Bitcoin, Solana and Tron are not supported (coverage 7)
- The mobile app supports four hardware wallets, against eleven on the extension
- Transaction simulation, its headline feature, is not measured by this rubric
Rabby Wallet scores 9.0 out of 10 and ranks first of the six wallets in our wallet ratings. It earns top or near-top marks on four of five criteria: custody, open source, fee disclosure and hardware support. It covers only EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) networks, and that is the one criterion where it loses ground.
How Rabby Wallet scores in wallets
Wallets in this category are marked on five criteria, each from 0 to 10 and each weighted equally. This rating is based on desk research of Rabby's help center and its GitHub repository: the licence, the README and the published audits. We did not test the wallet hands-on.
| Criterion | Finding | Mark |
|---|---|---|
| Custody & key control | Help center: "Only you hold your private keys" and "Rabby never has access to your funds" | 9 |
| Open source | MIT licence in the repository, with the Rabby name and logo reserved | 9 |
| Chain & asset coverage | 80+ natively integrated EVM networks plus custom EVM networks; Bitcoin, Solana and Tron not supported | 7 |
| Fee transparency | 0.25% swap fee, included in the quote; waived within named same-chain token groups | 10 |
| Hardware wallet support | 11 hardware wallets on the extension, including QR air-gapped devices; 4 on mobile | 10 |
The overall score is the plain average: (9 + 9 + 7 + 10 + 10) / 5 = 45 / 5 = 9.0.
Three marks changed at this check, and the overall score rose from 6.8 to 9.0. In July 2026 Rabby's marketing site did not render for us, so the entry relied on the repository README, which says nothing about fees or hardware. Rabby's help center now documents both, and its custody statement as well. Fee transparency rose from 5 to 10 for a published fixed fee. Hardware wallet support rose from 5 to 10 for a multi-brand list that includes air-gapped devices. Custody & key control rose from 8 to 9 for an explicit statement that Rabby has no access to funds. In each case Rabby met the same standard already applied to its peers.
Strongest criteria
Fee transparency: 10
Rabby's swap guide states a 0.25% service fee and says it is already included in the quote shown. A separate article lists when the fee is waived: swaps between two stablecoins, or between ETH and ETH-based tokens such as WETH or stETH, on the same chain. On a $1,000 USDC-to-ETH swap, Rabby's fee is $2.50 before gas and price impact. A USDC-to-USDT swap on the same chain carries no Rabby fee. Of the wallets we rate that publish a fixed swap fee, Rabby's is the lowest: MetaMask publishes 0.875% and Phantom 0.85%.
Hardware wallet support: 10
The extension supports Ledger, Trezor, GridPlus, OneKey, Keystone, NGRAVE ZERO, BitBox02, CoolWallet, AirGap Vault, imToken and imKey. Some of these sign by QR code, so the device never connects to the computer. The mobile app supports Ledger and Trezor over Bluetooth, plus Keystone and OneKey. A list this broad, including air-gapped signers, matches the standard on which Sparrow scores 10. Because Rabby is EVM-only, a connected device can sign for everything the wallet holds. MetaMask cannot offer that, since its hardware accounts do not cover its Solana and Bitcoin addresses. Our hardware wallet ratings score the devices themselves.
Open source: 9
The repository's LICENSE file is the MIT licence with one added clause: the Rabby brand name and logo are reserved and may not be used in republished software. Anyone may read, modify and redistribute the code. Only the branding is withheld, which is why it scores 9 rather than the 10 given to Sparrow's plain Apache 2 licence. The repository also publishes audit reports by year, from SlowMist and Least Authority. An audit reviews code at a point in time and is not a guarantee.
Custody & key control: 9
The help center says that only you hold your private keys and that Rabby never has access to your funds. Rabby's terms add that the company does not store your recovery phrase.
Weakest criterion
Chain & asset coverage: 7, a deliberate limit
Rabby says it natively integrates more than 80 networks and lets you add custom EVM networks. Its supported-networks article (updated 11 June 2026) also states that non-EVM networks, including Bitcoin, Solana and Tron, are not supported. This is a measured limitation, not missing evidence. A Rabby address is not a valid destination for funds sent on those chains. Trust Wallet (100-plus blockchains, 10) and MetaMask (EVM plus Solana and Bitcoin, 8) reach further.
What the score does not cover
- Transaction simulation and risk alerts. These are Rabby's distinguishing features, but no criterion measures them, and we did not test how well they catch malicious transactions.
- Perps and the Gas Account. Perps run on Hyperliquid with a published 0.04% builder fee. Neither feature is scored.
- Operator disclosure. The terms name OPCODE LABS PTE. LTD. but give no address. This rubric does not score entity disclosure.
Rabby Wallet vs Sparrow and MetaMask
The six rated wallets stand at Rabby Wallet 9.0, Sparrow Wallet 8.8, MetaMask 7.8, Phantom 7.4, Exodus 7.0 and Trust Wallet 6.4. Sparrow, 0.2 behind, beats Rabby on custody and open source (10 each against 9) but covers Bitcoin only (4 against 7). The two serve different chains. MetaMask, Rabby's closest like-for-like rival as an EVM browser wallet, is 1.2 behind. MetaMask covers more chains, but its source licence is non-commercial (3 against 9).
Who it suits
The score suits people who work on Ethereum and other EVM networks, want an open-source wallet with a low published swap fee, and sign with a hardware device. It does not suit anyone who also holds Bitcoin, Solana or Tron and wants a single app for them. Rabby says it will never ask for your recovery phrase or contact you over SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram or WeChat; see our guide to avoiding wallet scams.

Frequently asked questions
Why does Rabby Wallet score 9.0?
It is the plain average of five equally weighted marks: 9 for custody, 9 for open source, 7 for coverage, 10 for fee transparency and 10 for hardware support. 45 divided by 5 is 9.0.
What holds Rabby back?
Only chain coverage. Rabby supports EVM networks and states that Bitcoin, Solana and Tron are not supported, so it scores 7 there against 10 for Trust Wallet.
What changed since the previous Rabby rating?
Fee transparency rose from 5 to 10, hardware support from 5 to 10 and custody from 8 to 9, after Rabby's help center documented its fees, devices and custody terms. The overall score moved from 6.8 to 9.0.
Does a 9.0 mean Rabby is safe?
No. The score measures what Rabby publishes on five criteria. It does not test the transaction simulation, audit the code or cover perps, and any browser wallet on a compromised computer is at risk.
How does Rabby compare with Sparrow and MetaMask?
Sparrow scores 8.8. It has stronger custody and licence marks but covers Bitcoin only. MetaMask scores 7.8. It covers more chains than Rabby but ships under a non-commercial licence and charges a higher published swap fee.
